white , silver and yellow will show up when they need to be polished and waxed .if you look at the colour of the paint it will matt down and you will not get the mirror shine you should get in the paint.i know when my van needs doing again when i look in my side mirrors and i dont have the...

Malice you should try MOTHERS couple of weeks ago i had one of my clients cars win a national merc benz concours event .the car had been detailed using Mothers.
dont forget guys there is another wax and polish which will give you great results and you can use all year round where you can only use zymol in the summer when its warm .zymol will not cure when it is cold so think about that when you buy zymol you can only use it during summer .and in...
liam they are out there unlooked after ferrari there is no paint work except the new one by merc and bmw i think if i remember rightly which are ceramic based i dont know how they will react over time .but all paint will fade over time unless it is protected with a wax or synthetic coating.and...
blaupunkt my point about autoglym was that its use in garages and by valeting companies making out it was something special when it is only just a little better than the usual commercial rubbish that is used in garages.
what it costs to do a car out properly is minimal in the scale of things for a car dealer the better the car on the forcourt the better the chance of sale so quicker the turnover of stock .the public has been conned for far to long on what a clean car should look like the standard should be a...
you should only need to clay a car between 2-3 times a year depending on how much use the car gets and where it is parked.you only need to polish the car if the paint is scratched other wise you can use pre wax cleaners which do not cut but chemical clean the paint surface and this again 2-3...
autoglym products are old school they do what they say on the bottle no more than that .i use to use there exhibition paste very good on a white car that i had at the time .but super resin polish with exrta gloss is ok you will get a clean finish .you will not get the same depth of shine as say...

well it costs me only my products lol but my clients £250 upwards depending on what they want and how bad the car is .time wise quick wash and tidy up 2 hours, full clean 8 to 10 hours depending on light lol time is irrelevant when detailing its finished when its done
adder you will find the paste will last longer of the 2 .no wax will give you longer protection of 3-6 months depending on use may be less in some cases.martin
guys you confuse me why you would go for the titanium wax .this wax was designed for trucks which were in salty and heavy pollution areas not for the shine if anythink it will give you a dull finish to your cars paint. you would find it worthwhile topping with ital wax which will give you a...
omar please dont use a brush on the paint work it will cause so many swirls not worth the trouble.

hi there blaupunkt what you need to do if you are after a simple cleaning session on you car is wash leather then clay the car then use a carnauba cleaner wax this will do everything you are after a simple clean car with a great shine
simon the products i use are mothers ,sonax ,zymol ,system 8, 3m and feracula.these products i can mix and match where needed depending on the job in hand.
omar please dont make me laugh :D trained technicians these are the same guys who wash your cars when they come in for there service washes and leave swirl marks in the paint .all these paint protection products which claim will protect your cars paint for 5 years are the biggest con going yes i...
