Hi guys,
Just a quick one for all those detailing nuts out there.
John @ PB came onto a few forums last night and mentioned the following;
"What you want is very important to us, but late last year we realised that we had started to neglect this. Our own desire to grow and shape our...
it sounds like in rubbing away the marks you have actually punctured the paint. This coupled with some ITR in, under the paint, will probably be the cause of the bubbling :( So yes, a respray will be required as that rash will only grow as the elements and road grime/salt get into the open...
Yes. The two people chatting on the video linked above were posting absolute rubbish - clearly showing neither of them had any clue about detailing.
:approve:
Good news.
The better the paintwork is sealed, the easier you'll find it to blot as there won't be any surface water remaining. :)
It gives a thinner coat with decent waxes.

<3 You need to come in here more. Oh, and missed the post about popping over in a few weeks. Give me a buzz. Happy to.
Once upon a time there was a forum. And on that forum they had a great little section, known as the Detailing section. Now in this section there was a young, good looking...
You're both talking absolute twaddle. Go to detailing world. Read up on how to wash a car. Then come back and spout some proper knowledge.

Re: What have you ordered?
Very much so lad. It is a hard wearing wax so will last OK. However, don't forget, your wheels receive a great deal of stress, in comparison to your bodywork, eg more salt/grime/grit and also large quantities of heat. While the 476 will last better than most waxes, it...
No the test is to see what would happen if you rub the microfibres on your paint work. The idea being if you wipe off polish, wax or other products, you don't want MFs leaving fresh swirls on your corrected paintwork.
