K so i have a black mk2 clio, and around my area there are so many nice black cars that literally reflect everything around them.
Just wondering what i should get for a decent price to give my car a decent shine and bring out the colour a bit. Dad has a buffer if thats any use but as for the...
I popped along to ne detailing in durham to pick up some bit's and they had this beast in the bay getting the full work's i couldn't resist taking a few pic's :D
I couldn't believe how wide it was :eek:
Ordered stuff this morning, then realised I'd put my work address as address for delivery. Emailed him about 10mins ago and although he was in the process of shipping he changed the address for me! Not many would go to the hassle! Great service as usual Matt!
Following on from detailing the gf's car at the weekend (http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=120224), I thought it'd be a good idea to give the kit a good sort out before I crack on with mine for FCS... it isn't until you get it all out that you realise how much money you've...
i've had my williams for some time now, but i've never bothered washing it other than using wash and wax and a sponge, but the paint has awful scuffs on it for an old car cover and little scratches here and there, but you can see the colour underneath want's to come out again. what is the best...
Hi
Have never really done anything to my cars apart from washed and poshished them so after reading the sticky and some other posts, thought it is time to have a go.
I have felt the paint work after washing and it isn’t very smooth so I am going to buy the meguires clay kit to get it all...
orite everyone just wondering if any one could tell me or send some links to some decent products to get my cars paintwork looking nice (has lots of swirls and fine scratches) problem is that i only have around 100 pounds max to spend. cheers guys :cool:
Is it just a waste of time detailng silver cars ??? I have done the full works this weekend on the motor . I challenge anyone to find a dirty spot on it and it is extremely shiny ( for a silver car ) but it never shows its had a weekend of cleaning on it .. so has anyone got any pics of their...
I've only just finished claying FFS. Started at 12!!
Shouldn't have had a lunch break!!
I really want to finish it tonight, but I'm not feeling up to it. Am I ok to leave the car outside overnight? Ready for the morning?
Does anywhere know where I can get info on gettin the headlights polished up to get rid of the yellowy crap on the lense??!? :)
I did do search but cant find anything! :S
Thanks

Evening all.
Looking at the car last night, the last 30k on the Motorways has left the paintwork in a bad way. Light swirling, chips, tar and wheels are pitted.

- Polish -SRP or Sonus Hand Polish Bundle

Was just looking for some advice on what to do/ what order to do things in, here's a list of the...

I have a big selection of the usual Meguires, Autoglym etc stuff and started getting some of the more serious stuff from I4detailing and also invested in a machine polisher. I...
