    Random orbit sander

    I know that most of you PC owners don't even look at any other equipment but for some of us (europeans) the pc is wery much out of reach. The PC does not have the required CE-approval and therefore it has not been converted to 230V/50Hz. Outruled for me. I have been looking for a suitable...

    Marring Swirls and a Rotary

    I have done a lot trying to remove the marring and swirls on my Indie Blue metallic Mini Cooper S. That's including scratchX by hand over the whole car and #9 using a cheap orbital polisher with a shoertnapped terry bonnet. Both have helped a little but nothing close to a swirlfree finish. The...

    Okay, as I mentioned in another thread that I detailed my sisters car yesterday. I asked her if she would wash my terry- and MF towels in return. I told not to use any fabric softener.

    The quest for a perfect shine

    Gold Class Paste wax really never impressed me that much and it really is not a wery long lasting product, even if that's not my priority. I didn't want to spend hundreds on expensive designer waxes like zymol and pinnacle. My garage is full of usefull polishes and cleaners anyway so I got a...

    Detailing advice
