Unreal Luke. When you know your car you know when it's worse than before!
The FRP went for it's mot recently! My dad is service manager and they still didn't listen!
Ruined!
Write up on it tomorrow or Wednesday.
But even as a detailing spray top up the looks wouldn't touch Z8. Not even close.
I like sealants, they more than have their place beside waxes and the like. My car was wearing Z2 last month as is the Golf I just did. But at the end of the day they will never replace the feeling of applying a...
Lower braces trump upper braces imo. Totally changed the feel of my last puma.
Didn't need one on the FRP.
Very s**t about that window mate, who does that s**t! Is it parked secluded?
That first video has me semi!
Ferrari who? They have pushed the boat out for this car and it's paying off!
Epic machine! Can't wait to read the reviews!
My only point was c2 is sealant and to top a lovely carnuba wax with a sealant is defeating the point.
Also the c2 will place it's own level of protection which will detract from the wax beading/sheeting, one of the main reasons you'd choose a decent wax.
The last thing you want to do is...
Lols at detailing sucker! No need to be anal, the guys hardly correcting his paint with a makita and 8 polishes.
The best product I was ever introduced to was pre-wax cleansers. Ipa wipe down is fine but to me ipa wipe down is only for 100% correction details.
Swissvax cleaner fliud regular is...
If not mate just make sure you get it all clayed in one go. Then when you next get a chance, within 1 week... wash it and then polish wax.
My winter detail I done all the wet work the day before then polished all day at work the day after. SRP should take that long by hand where as I was...
1. De-tar/clay the full car, doesn't take too long. The rear bumper/tailgate/tailgate glass usually are quite bad for tar and of course the roof for sap and contaminents. It's not just tar but general grime you're removing.
2. I'd do everything, all the glass, lights, bodypanels. If you don't...
2nd gear high up the revs lift off and mines goes off like feck for a good 10 seconds follwed by a nice tizzing sound!
4th gear high ups the revs let off nice deep pops and bangs. Never really tired of it!
Sounds ideal mate.
I wash/ spray after tardis as it can affect the clay br and degrade it then just wash after claying.
Some people think that may be overkill and that's where detailing and cleaning the car differ. "it's in the detail".
Pre-spray - Wash - de-tar - wash - clay - wash - dry -...
You should always polish after claying and always always spend time de-tarring before claying.
Claying imo isn't made to remove all the tar from you car, it's to remove bonded on contaminents. The more tar that you take off with the claybar the more damage you'll be inflicting on the paint...
Car cleaning OCD style.
It' the details of the clean that make it detailing, exhausts, wheels, badges. No old SRP on trims, little things like that imo make detailing what it is.
It the process involved. If I washed my car then polished it and that was it i'd just say I cleaned and polished my...
That's decent mate. The kestral is a good machine.
I much prefer this DA... http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/polishing-machines/das-6-pro-dual-action-polisher/das-6-pro-dual-action-polisher/prod_673.html
But the kestral will serve you well. Just practice and practice somemore.
The jeffs kit id...
I did have a lol at some of that! :o Hiding hate with Kisses!
Anyway on with the retort..
This word thorough is the same as where the word came from in the first place "detail" and the attention to detail put into the cleaning, that what turns cleaning into detailing, imo and many other...
