Headed to Ben's yesterday; well his Parents' place as paintwork correction/swirl removal was his birthday prezzy from them :thumb: Car was washed & clayed so pure correction required. As before & after shots show, lots of swirling and scratches but I managed to correct virtually all defects...

Managed to get my sunroof replaced Thursday evening by my good friend Miles - quick jaunt to Ringwood cross country :D and £35 later, new roof, oil & filter change and new gearbox mount and we're sorted. Just now needed to fix the paint damage where all the glass collapsed/smashed...

Travelled up to London yesterday to meet George and his SL350. '03 car with less than 4000 miles on it. Never waxed, just handwashed. Car was fairly clean but paint was dull & lifeless. Process was to polish & finish using the Makita and a mix of Menzerna & Meguiars polishes. LSP Collinite...

Decided we'd take the 205 out to blow the cobwebs away today - beautiful sunny day so gave Lou's Clio a quick wash/QD then pulled the Pug out and a quick going over with Carbon, dressed tyres and trim, cleaned glass:- As swirl free as I can get her :) Who's that ugly git? :D...

I've not been here in ages :( as I have a new job, new cars and been involved in a new detailing forum over here in the UK. The new daily driver - 05 Vauxhall Vectra SRi CDTi. 1900cc turbodiesel averages 49mpg so ideal for my 1000 mile a week routine. My partner's new daily drive...

Have done some searching here, Meguiars UK and Google without much success! Has anyone bought a foam gun in the UK? any good? where from? etc etc The only one I could find was over £100 which is IMHO plain silly - Gilmour (the popular US brand) retail for $60 or less so as usual we're...

Another job via the owners' forum here in the UK. 1990 Peugeot 205 GTi 1.9 with a recent 16 valve conversion (160+ bhp in a car weighing less than 1000kgs ;) ). Car in reasonable shape with some light swirling noticeable esp to horizontal panels. Process SSR2.5 via PC/DAS orange/DAS green...

2 from today. First up the Focus. Not been washed in 2 years apart from automated car washes.... Could do with a full machine polish but owner only wanted it cleaned, so process Wash - Sonax Gloss Wheels - Sonax R2000 VMW Hand Glaze by hand Menzerna FMJ by hand Collinite Marques d'...

Funny old day really. Had a Mondeo booked and a "small" scratch repair. Quick wash on the Ford and the owner then disappeared before I could get any shots! The scratch turned out to be, well, you judge..... Turns out the owner (who also runs the black Crossfire I've cleaned a couple of...

As it says really lads - anyone able to help? Can trade products if required Cheers :brit

First attempt but I have a few really annoying chips plus a deep scratch to the tailgate. Process this far has been to clean the chip using meths on a Q Tip then apply multiple layers of paint (8 from memory) really thinly - luckily the Halfords touch up kit has a pen applicator ideal for the...

First up the parents' new car - 05 Vauxhall Meriva 1.4 16v Life in the same shade of silver as my Astra. They picked it up Friday and is has 76 miles now on the clock. They left it with me today having declined the £300 lifetime protection treatment offered by the garage... Process...

I've spent a lot of time on customer cars recently and not been able to do much with my Peugeot 205. Plus, the engine died and replacement only just in but she's now 99.9% finished (not counting the "to be refurbed" wheels and a few other winter projects) so yesterday I gave her some TLC, having...

http://www.pakshak.com/micropak-united-kingdom-distributor.html Told you not to place your order just yet, didn't I :grinno: John @ C&S is a top bloke to deal with and I put this suggestion to him not that long ago, as I'd previously had some discussion with Ranney as regards becoming a...
