As Fred says, screwdriver, underneath, pop it gently off the axis.

Yes please, where and when?

I ahve said to a number of people that when I come down to visit Mace, I will do this. But not sure on who is down there in the mean time!

Coolio

Yes this is called the "bleached" look, also known as the "down to the metal" or "down to the primer" look.

Hi Paul, Thanks for your question. T cut is probably your best option on those by the sounds of it. Here is an example what T cut can do when used correctly;

Doesn't do a lot for me, I use Megs No16 after as a final finish i.e. for any finger prints or dust. I actually wash some cars after detailing them to get rid of anything that is on them. Especially in this hot weather.

FFS n00b. Cheers Symon, going to download tonight.

Top man, cheers Russ.

Russ you've mentioned the Opti stuff before, link me?

The green looks like either lacquer issues or purely grimey paint. The products you have listed are not far off at all. Perfectly acceptable to start with! YHPM.

Ha, you joke but I thought that at one stage! Nothing as of yet and only gets done once a year ;)

Thanks for the compliment lad. Process would purely depend on what you required. If you are looking at paint correction then a machine polisher with two/three stages of polishing would be used, different pads etc. Then sealent such as Chemical Guys Blitz or Auto Glym Extra Gloss Protection...

Ha, of course Ash mate!

Lol Daniel, where are you mate?

Yeah but you and I are talented ;)

This car gets better and better Kev mate. What else is planned for it mods wise?

Problem is if you do something wrong on a customer's car, Mikey, that company will be liable. Hence you will need to do a lot of practise on odd car parts. Best thing I can suggest is try this; Get a panel, pref quite a large one like a bonnet that has good condition paint. Use a rough side of...

It is, but there is always that little bit of uncertainty, hence using a lower amount of money rather than mine ;) (joke, I spent mine on my trip to Mongolia :S)

Just to warn you all, FK "OIL" is actually WD40. No joke.

Waggon. Band. Jumping. The. On. SRP is a filler polish and while it will look good for a couple of days/weeks the fillers will eventually come out and it will look the same. Also I am willing to bet Ali's sizeable trust fund that you have not sealed the paint after polishing . . ...

Fack off Richy ;) White grease eh? Fair enough!

I would be very interested in this, I cover mine in duck tape over winter, having cleaned them before hand!

Oh and I would just point out to make certain, it's SRP, then EGP to seal, then P21s to wax, not the other way around with sealent and wax.

Nothing wrong with that lot what so ever, used it on my own car for years, still use SRP and P21s (although it has now been gheyly named R222 just to confuddle people) to this day! Re colours, I barely change the waxes I use on different coloured cars. The depth and shine come from the...

Cheers all, colour is one of 13 made. Guy is a sucker for the sales chat! Walked into the Porsche garage a few years back, after getting a flat/blowout on the motorway (in the old shaped model in silver with barely any mileage), came home that afternoon with this! Madness!

This was ChrisPearson's car. Looks superb, but sadly the paint job is a b**ch to match, and therefore is majorly disappointing close up. Not difficult to rectify, but needs money :(

Fella there are so many threads on this, worth a quick search and there will be loads of pics.

I would take Brun's advice Mikey mate, as Paul said and as I said to IanFlaherty it's not something that you can just do as a spur of the moment thing. Quite happy to teach you as and when I detail though mate.

You do realise it isn't Dodo don't you Paul . . . ;)
