It's very good on any chrome/britework mate. Google it for some more opinions on the net. It's not cheap but if look at the sticky in this section it can be used on paintwork also.
On the door locks, they are metal so mask...
Hi guys this is the starting point of any scratch/swirl free car. :)
I've ammended this guide, courtesy of Dave KG on Detailing World so that it's more up to date. Hopefully I did a good job.
Whats Wrong With A Sponge?
Millions of people wash their car using a sponge. But if you read the...
This is the main point.
A 1.4 Diesel Golf could blow my car away in a straight line. It matters little in the grand scheme of things.
Funnily enough me and Pep discussed this when he got rid of his MK5 GTI Golf for a Focus RS Mk1. We kinda agreed the Golf was better in 9/10 departments and did...
I don't have an issue with Harris. I was just asking if he was talking. I hate shitty videos with just music. I want to hear him talking a little.
Awesome machine.
Flol!
Do you know how many words are in that post? No me either! Anyway it's a tad confusing.
I personally have never bothered with mine, but my paint has never really been that dirty. If I was doing a car I had no history of I would. It's cheaper to replace foam/mf applicators than it is to...
I did it with a mk1 Fiesta, the lady who had the car in her drive her dad had died and never did anything with the car but it wasn't for sale. Knocked on the door and she invited me in, I knew her dad actually once I realised who she was.
Beautiful car. Must have had about 10 miles on the clock!
You can also use those megs foam pads for rejuvenate but I'd grab some MF ones, the Blue ones are cheaper than the white round megs ones. Both are ideal.
Touch coat can be sprayed on the panel and wiped over with an MF then removed with a clean MF or spray onto a foam pad. Megs if you can then...
Some of the 182s in the for sale section on here are bargains.
That 182 FF Titanium for sale today was about 3k! That's a bloody lot of car for the money imo.
There are 106 gtis out there for the same price!
Endurance tyre gel? It's afavourite of mine tbh.
In the meantime of buying a DA etc... Maybe look into something like Poorboys blackhole glaze and a good wax like Autoglym HD. About £30 from i4detailing. Comes with 2 applicators and an MF cloth.
I bought bit by bit really. Washing media is the important biut to start with.
These days if I was starting all I would need would be the correct wash media, a glaze and some AG HD. Easily less than £100 start up.
Yeah mate, some glazes/cleansers blur the lines. Prima Amigo is sort of a one step cleanser/glaze. A lot of cleansers contain fillers as above so you possibly won't need a glaze.
I prefer to polish-cleanse-glaze if time allows. Let each product do it's job. For eg if time allowed I would...
Hello again boys and girls. Todays thread... Paintwork cleansers. Still a tad unknown in detailing where enthusiasts are concerned so hopefully I can open your eyes to thew world of them.
All opinions are my own. :o
After removing contaminants from the paint surafce by means of, Tar remover...
I'n not an S2 fan per se but fantastic buy mate.
People who don't quite get it I kind of understand but it is a heritage thing. Rob I understand the rally thing but it's still an old school Ford with an RS badge. It tingles the balls even if it's not that good. I don't particularly think the...
In a general sense that's the correct and the original way to put a glaze on via machine.
Low speeds and work the fillers and product into the paint.
You're not working a polish or a wax. It's doesn't have to cure/set etc just machine on and wipe off. :)
Sort of. Any rotary with a soft start/low rpm start will be perfect. The EP is th better rotary for this because it shares a lot of cues with the DA. DA is usually best for glazing by machine but I personally prefer rotary. By hand is also easy but i'm not a fan really of glazing by hand...
