Nice build! How much he looking for?

I'm away late June/Early July 16th July is FOS @TheEvilGiraffe you wanna not catch Covid and come this time?

@SharpyClio Having done a bit of 'detailing' on the side now, im in a position to offer some advice. I started off doing the same thing as you, but for friends not a bodyshop. I also used to spend nigh on 6 hours, busting my arse, and usually charged a flat rate of £100 too. But, as I got...

He gave me a quick demo and, to the untrained like me, it looked perfect. I'll only be using it to do up the house so it doesn't need to last years

I asked @dann2707 the same thing the other day - before asking my FIL who has a bazillion tools. He bought this one a few weeks back and used it a bunch of times whilst building his new garage, said it works perfectly and is waaaaay cheaper...

I somehow managed to not have my car, or me, in a single picture. Probably for the best though, I was hungover as balls and sweating like Clart in a playground by the end of it. Good meet chaps. Great to put some faces to names. Sign me up for the next one 👌

Just about to give mine a quick once over too. It will only rain if i put the Semi slicks on 🤣

they went 3/4 throttle so the graph looks good but gives them the secret advantage ;)

Im always super impressed at the skill level involved in building engines. I really really fancy giving it a crack one day - any tips on a learning platform? Im sure Youtube is utterly awash with videos but id prefer something more legitimate and dont mind paying. Fingers crossed my brother...

As @imprezaworks has commented on machines, ill follow up with the latter part. For a beginner, Meguiars Ultimate Compound and Polish will probably be all you'll need. Theyre decent, not too expensive and do the job well. Prepare to need to spend quite a bit on pads. I used the Chemical Guys...

name change then mate, sorry, its out of my hands. @Sunglasses_Ron - 'Not Touring Rob' please x

If buying new @Daniel , id go with SiRamik Lustrous Plus. Recently bought a bottle off detailingworld and its insane so far. Lots of reports of it lasting 12+ months. Not the most mindblowing beading but self cleaning and staying power are reported to be very very good. Ive had it on for ~4...

Uk Pothole fund? Joking aside - It would be some form of Cancer Charity that would get my vote

1. Luke 2. Cookie 3. Davyy / StayPuft 🤣 4. Boring_Gob (get control of your s**t) 5. MarkCup 6. Giraffe 7. Racky (not blacklisted) 8. Stefan 9. Sir_Dave 10. Cub 11. Don’t call me Dave (Russ) but only if I have a car 12. Sir Nancy Flowers (aka Will) but warning, I will be hungover :)

Look forward to seeing you there in the Auris mate

Date dependent, yep! Sign me up Time for you lot to experience the gold wheels

I have a George mate. Henry's cousin? 🤣 The thing gets put through the f**king ringer. Ive used it for all sorts and its decent. Suction isnt perfect (lol) but it does the job, just leaves whatever youre doing a little damp. But thats okay for me! Id recommend one

Its in my diary but im just trying to wrap my head around financials currently. Got a looooot on. House purchase is looming, various holidays, a TD in August already....oh, and the 140 needs a grand in parts before the next TD.... Im trying!

Cheers mate! For the money I'm gonna spend on one, circa £70, I can see it paying itself back in time over the long run. Plus I can use it round the house too. Win win!

Steam Cleaners? Anyone use them? Any good?

Snapped up a new product to me on Detailingworld. SiRamik Lustrous Graphine Spray Sealant. Reports on there are bonkers. Spray, level with a damp mf towel, buff and then 12+ months of insane beading. Really excited to give it a go on the BM. I dont get time to do my own car often now as im...

Drive everywhere at 70? (Sorry, thats all I got)

Fusso sounds similar, application wise, to the Infinity Wax Synergy Wax I have. Utter b**ch to use but lasts forever and looks good. Acts like a ceramic too in regards to water. Only issue is, it stinks to high heaven

I only had Megs Polish and Compound at the time I think. Compound was the go to, as well as the heaviest cut cone I had at the time. Worked pretty well considering but if youre shooting for perfection, the only logical solution seems to be these 1 inch micro polishers which are almost as much as...

I find wheels a proper PITA. I eventually ended up using some foam cone polishers I picked up cheap off ebay which attached to a drill. Usual method - start light (in terms of cut) and work your way up. Turns out, the clearcoat on BMW wheels is just as hard as on the paint itself 🤣

Literally the first question I asked 🤣 🤣 - 'Are either car black?' Thankfully theyre both that metallic grey colour!

Actually, just double checked. as the Defender is used, it would be £1000 from them for a 2 stage polish and coating. Jesus. Im in the wrong job 🤣 🤣

I dont mind the graft, I quite enjoy the therapy of it (im weird, I know). Garage is the only question at the moment. But I think I might have a solution for that - my garage currently has some rubbish ford in it 🤣. Just looking at a local company to me: New Cars (sub 1000 miles) for the...

After some pricing advice really. A really good family friend has approached me about coating their new cars - a Tesla Model Y and a new Defender (the commercial one). The Tesla is new so shouldnt need much correcting but the defender will definitely need it. Theyre really good friends so I...
