Just went into the Meguiars UK forum for the first time in months and saw this. http://shop.meguiars.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=584 I'd be interested to hear other people's thoughts on the "polish your car in 30 minutes" idea......given that after many, many hours with a PC i still have...

Watch out for October's issue of Retro Cars magazine as they're using my 205 in their feature on 20 years of the 205 GTI. I do have some pics on a disc but they're huge so pretty much useless I'm afraid.

Exactly as it asks. I've now got the paint on my garage queen almost to a point I'm happy with and decided to try multiple coats of VMW. I've done 2 so far - easy as anything using the PC at around #4 (takes about 5 minutes to apply and 5 to buff off) and a relaxing way to end a detailing...

I sent some flyers around my neighbourhood and also GF's work and now have the following customer cars. Mercedes ML270 Audi A6 Avant Jaguar XJ8 (04 model) BMW 318 coupe & convertible BMW M3 convertible x 2 BMW X5 x 2 Bentley GT (yes, the new one!) I'm looking to stick with high end...

OK, for those who wonder if I even have a car, here's a couple of shots of my Peugeot 205 GTi taken at a recent club meeting. Was parked in the shade hence they aren't exactly brilliant and I'm far from happy with the finish on the car right now - still has some light swirls. Products used to...

Spent 8 hours on my car yesterday and not too happy with results; here's what I did. SSR3 applied with orange pad. Started at #2 to work product in, sped up to #5/5.5 and worked product right in then removed with MF DACP with white pad at #5.5. Worked in until it disappeared then remove...

Found some "Smart Price" white terry towels in Asda @ 89p each. Won't be using em for body but great for door shuts, wheels etc and cheap as chips.

Just be careful when your GF/BF or whoever sees you log on:D http://www.thebesthandjob.com/index.php It's a new one for sure but try it and see what you think!

OK, I've decided to have a break from buying more detailing supplies for a while (like I'm going to keep that resolution!!!!) so Ican concentrate on my toy. 16 year old with non clearcoated non-metallic black paint. I'd like people's input on the sealant - not "the best" as that's likely to...

Managed to get hold of 3 office-style filing cupboards - they're about 4' high, 3'3" wide and about a foor and a 1/2 deep with 3 shelves. GF's office were binning them so I stepped in. I'm keeping 2 for definite - anyone interested in the third? Sounds ideal for product storage. Will try to...

I've been asked to detail the following. 2001 Merceces ML270 CDi in metallic red 2002 Porsche 996 C4S in non metallic black Neither has any major paint faults. The Merc was previously cleaned by a detailer weekly but he damaged it whilst parking and then turned out to have no insurance...

If this is in the wrong place then sorry in advance! I'm headinh up north to see some clients next week and will be staying overnight on the 5 February at Cleckheaton Travel Inn. Think there's a few autopians up that way so if you'd like to meet up and talk cars & stuff then it'd be great...

I think I must be stupid as I tried to search for the following with no luck! What am I doing wrong here? 1. Klasse/AG comparison - ie are they basically the same product? 2. Bill North's Klasse application procedure I ask this as 1) I can get AG easily in the UK but not Klasse so can I...
