OK its been a long time since I posted on Autopia, but I thought I would share my new ride with you guys, and the detail I had to do to sort out some really quite bad swirls/spider webbing. I bought the car this weekend (Sat 24th) drove it all that day :) ... sunday gave it a wash, and today...

Hi, I was wondering if I could call on each of your experiences to help me grade my particular products abrasiveness ... I have based most of it on the thread here containing the chart with some of these products. However, several of these products are not there, and I would like to know how...

Hi, well I was detailing my car the other day, and I noticed that whenever I used one of any of my micro fibre cloths that they marred the car whilst removing the product. I also found my waffle weave cloths doing the same, all of these cloths are about 1 year old now, so my question is ...

Hi everyone, long time since I posted up here. I had a paying detail to do for the first time in a while, and was quite pleased with the results, I know how you guys like to look at shiny cars so here are a few pics. No befores, simply the afters I am afraid. Process, wash BMW shampoo ( I...

Hi everyone, its been a while! Anyway is anyone interested in buying my Makita? If you are it is boxed up (in it's original box) and I just need to learn from our post office how much the postage will be. Anyway, the unit to buy new would be £170.00 from screwfix...

Due to physical limitations, I am unable to continue with this venture that I was getting ready to do part-time, and it seems a waste to have this online business already setup and doing nothing. Therefore I have a fully setup detailing website presence that you could use for your business if...

Well, I have tried all sorts of products, I have Mothers, Optimum, Megs, you name it. However, today I detailed AXE, and I decided to simply use AIO, it looked fantastic when done. Then I considered a topper, and decided on SG. I can say, with all honesty my car looks better than I have ever...

OK well not quite a detail job, and I have to be honest detailing the Sagaris would probably be the most impossible task :) Well, on (Saturday 9th) I was lucky enough to visit Oulton Park, a race track in Cheshire in the UK. This was no ordinary track day though, it was in fact a TVR track...

Just wondering if anyone knows whether autogeek are having any problems at the moment, I am totally unable to contact them having made an order. There appears to be some kind of technical problem with their email software, anyone else noticed this ?

Hello everyone, I thought I would make a 56K version of this latest detail, the rest of the pictures (all 32 of them! are over in this thread http://autopia.org/forums/showthread.php?threadid=55828&perpage=12&pagenumber=1 ) as is the full story of the detal :) Straight to a couple of before...

My first experience with a Makita 9227 Well today I had a go with this superb tool, I tried switching it on yesterday for the first time, just to see how it felt, and at setting 3 (1500 RPM) I thought it felt smooth and not as intimidating as I thought it might be. Don't get me wrong, this...

OK I have had enough of struggling with swirl marks with the PC and Cyclo and I have decided that tomorrow I will buy a makita rotary - I would appreciate any tips, links, which pads to buy (it comes with a wool pad) etc. WIll I be able to use the pads I have already for the PC, and if so do I...

Hi, I just opened a new shrink wrapped pack of 3m Clay (blue in colour) and when I tried to tear a piece off I noticed it was difficult to do, and that in fact the piece actually 'snapped' off, almost brittle. I kneeded the piece and rolled it, and then flattened it, however it would not...

OK, well it was such a nice day today, that I thought I would treat AXE to a little known product that is Z2pro, I am sure one or two of you may have heard of this product right ? ;) So here are the pics of AXE treated with Z2Pro :) please excuse the...
