detailing

Does anyone else get fcuked right off with people using the phrase 'I detailed my car' only to find when you open the thread that all they've done is wash it and polish it?? Seriously grinds my fcuking gears. Don't get me wrong, I'm no detailer, but I appreciate the art of detailing. I...

i have given the MPS a really good going over today, not necessarily with the best stuff in the world but its what i had! The problem i had was the clay just started breaking up on me after using it a lot to remove really stubborn bits of tar on the front wings / side skirts and doors. i used...

This was suppost to be one day but due to the car breaking down this morning and all my detailing stuff being locked in the garage until 3.30pm it's now going to take me two days. But here is my progress so far. Some before I started out jet washing the car down to...
