Well ive been gone a while, between work, holidays and house shopping ive not really had time to put into cars. The Aston went and was replaced by a truly terrible knee jerk reaction Z3, That lasted 4 months before being sold. So anyway yesterday i picked up this. E46 320d, 1st impressions are...

So, I've been thinking about this for a while now. I can obtain a premise free of charge in Glasgow city centre. I'm no expert detailer but know a couple of bits and bobs. My proposal would be to open a shop purely containing high end detailing products for enthusiasts like us. Good quality...

Purchased the paint match ups from auto-paint but the brush is the pot is very thick, what do people use or where to get good detailing brushes from?

I'm no expert at this stuff so need some advise. I think this is the place to ask... 1) One of my harnsesses has somehow got some mould on it, well at least I think it's mould. It's scattered with little dots. No idea what else it could be. What's best to tackle this with? I've tried all...

Now I know this thread might upset a few of you, but always worth discussion. Over the years, I have built up quite a large amount of detailing and cleaning products, and would hate to add up the cost of it all. However, there is not always a requirement to use such high end products...

Share photos or tell us where you keep it. At the moment mine's just kept in a spare bucket but I'm looking at storage solutions for my garage and want to see everybody elses efforts before I make up my mind. :)

This week i was lucky enough to spend a day with James owner of TI22 Vehicle Services in Newport. I had a great day and learnt a lot from him. Didn't get any before or during but the results were amazing. After a deep clean and polish the paint was ready for the wax, the bonnet James applied AF...

Hi there, after some advice on what products to start with for detailing. Thinking about getting a DAS-6 PRO DA Polisher but with so many different pads, polishes etc I'm a bit confused on which ones to get. The first job I would like to do is some paint correction, so products best for this...

Hi Guys, I'm picking my clio up later today and already have some idea's of things i'd like to do to it, one of these being, changing the handles and maybe bullets to black. Any suggestions, would they need to be painted or could i use a shrink wrap or something? Any help please. thanks

Appreciate this isn't a car, but one of my wife's handbags is stained and generally looking crap. It's a light tan leather so shows up badly. Are there any wizards who could recommend a fix with some car products?

as above is there anyone local to coventry to give my black 182 a good detail light swirls etc needs goin over with a rotary etc, just trying to see if its cheaper for somone to do it rather than buy all the products in one hit cheers

Don't leave it in the middle of your drive and then decide to move your car. I can't express how stupid i felt haha.

So I'd like to start getting a few bits together for my car. I'm going to order another 4L bottle of Iron X because I love the stuff. But whilst I'm at it I'd like to order something for the trim and rubber too, as mine is looking a bit tired (dry polish marks). I've heard Gtechniq C4 is the...

I have a detail on tomorrow and being bored I was just going through it in my head and thinking what I was most looking forward to doing. I have to say it's the claying/decon process. I just love the how it transforms the paint, and I can stroke it after like a sad act saying 'oooo'. Fridays be...

Hi everyone. I've used the search function but generally just got myself confused. My dad has asked to give his car a detail at the weekend and not just a clean, with this he's giving me £60 to buy some stuff and I can keep all the leftovers yay :) I currently have autoglym clay bar, rapid...

Hey guys, im new to the forums and have no idea what to do,what products to use or how to use them when it comes to detailing. I normally just take it to a car wash but i never get the finishes that some people get on here! i want to do it all myself but i have no idea... so if someone could...

Hi I have never detailed a car in my life before, and was wondering what people would recommend buying on a budget of £50-£100, I already have microfibre cloths, a jet washer, bucket and a sponge :p. Any tips on using the recommended products would also be great thanks in advance.

After my 5 year old decided she would help clean the house, she decided she would clean the our French doors with baby wipes and you can imagine the mess that made of the glass. I offered the misses the bottle of Gtechniq G6 Perfect glass i had recieved in this months Waxybox to try and she was...

Just thought it might be a giggle to share a few of our mistakes a long the way ? Add as you wish or just point and laugh at my stupidity :) 1) Rushing out and buying the wrong/not the best products before researching on here first 2) Hand polishing/cutting your entire car then trying to...
