I have been into detailing now for the last year, on my own car only. However after doing a few friends cars and several others through word of mouth I have decided to start doing it on my days off from work.
This is the process which i take;
Wash
Clay bar the full car
Wash again

Guys,
Im looking to get the side bits on my Clio 182 painted (the bits that say '2.0 16v') and I want your recommendation on anyone who could do such a job.
On the flip side, does anyone already produce such a product that would pop on in place of the old versions to buy?
I basically want...
how to get your carpets nice and clean any ideas?? also how do i remove chewing gum from my carpets as someone picked up a bit and trodden it into my carpets?
alos would you reccomend removing seats to get a good clean??
Since my summer polish I've picked up a few swirls and tar etc so it needs claying and (all I can be bothered with) SRP by machine.
Will there be any issues if I do it tommorrow in 2-7degree temps in terms of the chemicals im using:
SRP
Jetseal
Dodo Supernatural.
Cheers

Anyway, the full write up has finally landed, enjoy -
Here we're looking at the very capable Renault Sport Clio 200. This has been rated as one of the best front wheel drive hot hatches going.
The car is a matter of months old, but...
Having had my new car it's getting a bit dirty... I don't any cleaning products whatsoever so I want to get a bit of a collection going.
Could someone please knock me up a quick list of things I'll need and the best ones to buy? I'm not stupidly keen so I dont want to spend hundreds of pounds...
Having had the car over to John @ Miglior Detailing yesterday, it was obvious that the paintwork isn't in great condition for a 3 month old car. Most probably due to the dealer 'cleaning' the car prior to me collecting it.
Had plenty of visible buffer trails, amongst other things, under the...
Hello people.
Could you please recommend me some detailing products. Ive got a 2003 mondial blue cup. Tbh for a 7 year old car the paint work isnt too bad, just the odd swirl, a few stone chips and scratches and tar marks. What would be the best products to use to remove most of these?
My car...

Today I detailed my friends DCi Clio.
To say it was a swirl bus is an understatement. It was the swirliest car I have ever seen in my life. The lady who owned it before him had it cleaned every week.... At her local foreign car wash :S
Havent got loads of pics... But here goes!

I wasn't in my Clio but the grey Ford Ka in front of you - my friend was dropping us off back home after a very heavy night out so my camera work is a little shakey!
We pulled off into Dormans Park and you gave it a little bootful as you passed us, the exhausts sound immense!
So been pklanning on giving the car a good clean for the past few weeks, hard to plan thing when the weather is so unpredictable!
Eventually got the chance yesterday to have a good crack at it! :)

I've had my Clio for a few weeks now, but because the weather has been pretty rubbish I haven't cleaned it very much. The other day, I took it to a hand wash drive through and they pressure washed the car.. OK as far as these places go. But they used the pressure washer on my alloys and damaged...
Hi guys,
A few weeks back I bookmarked a page which I found via a search on here. It has lots of guides & advice on detailing including snow foaming, 2 bucket wash, claying, waxing, polishing. It really explained what each process does and how it works.
Trying to explain claying to a friend...
Ok, so I'm sale prepping my car, it's gotta go! (hopefully for some vee fun)
I want it to be spotless, and it's pretty good in all fairness, however I would really like to clean up the black rubber/plastic window surrounds, any products you'd recommend? I'd like them as glossy as possible...
