I have a good friend that over a period of years has restored / modified a MKI golf. The car has a 16v and some fancy wheels / suspension etc, it’s now time for a FULL repaint. The car will be having a good paint job (from an expensive specialist painter with a long waiting list / good rep...

Well after one of my wash mitts died I started to look around for a recommended replacement – that lead me to a lot of threads were people had mentioned / complained that they fall to bits after a very short period of time ? That’s news to me … :? I guess how they last comes down to how you...

Well I had been looking around for some new buckets (I asked on here) and my research found loads of threads about 'loose' and floating grit guards (mines never floated ?). I ended up with two chemical guys (UK) buckets and when they came, guess what ? My old grit guard was a piss poor fit...

I bought my grit guard eight years ago and have always used it in a white industrial hand wash bucket - fitted great :D Eight years down the line and the bucket is shot but the grit guard is still A1, any ideas for sourcing a nice new bucket ? I know Megs have a version, but it's a really...

For these wheels : That won't screw up the (fragile ?) clear laquer, the zinc plated calipers and the chrome / plated wheel nuts. Please bear in mind I am in the UK and some of the stuff used / recomended on here probably wont be freely available, maybe megs wheel brightener ? (my...

Is it a good idea or not ? Are modern side mirrors even glass anymore - they feel warmer / a bit more like plastic ? Cheers, WD :)

Anyone using one ? If so what model and where from ? My whish list would be : · Small · Light · Good quality · Good price (but quality is more important) I am not to bothered about having a large reservoir (Big is not always better â€Â¦) as the...

Hi guys, I detailed this car for a friend that had just had it painted (donâ€â„¢t worry I waited the 60 day period !). The paint job wasnâ€â„¢t the best quality but he seems happy with it and it was noticeably cheaper than the going rate. The cars a 93 with 130k on it...

Hi Guys, I thought you might be interested in a Porsche GT3 I detailed on Saturday. The car was a freebie for a friendâ€â„¢s dad as it will be the â€ËœCover Carâ€â„¢ for my portfolio. The process / products were : Wash (GC), Clay (Megs), #80 (Sonus Green), NXT...

Hi Guys, I have two details coming up but have never worked on cars from any of the manufactures. What are the below paint types like to work on ? Also what would your combination recommendation be ? I currently have #83, #80, #9, NXT, #16, #26 & S100. For both cars I was thinking #83 (if...

Hi guys, I currently have the Sonus pad set and need to order some new pads. Before I invest more money in â€ËœVelcroâ€â„¢ pads I was wondering about switching to the â€ËœEdgeâ€â„¢ pad system : http://www.superiorcarcare.net/6-inch-edge2000-pads.html...

I thought I would start a thread to list any useful tips that help you detailing and that may help others (and me!). For example, to get into the corners and down to the bottom of a windscreen (wind shield ?!) I use a mf folded over the end of a plastic cooking spatula. Or that I save the...

Are there any good detailing supply shops in the tourist areas around Daytona, Miami, Ft laud or the Keys. Itâ€â„¢s just that I will be going soon and it would be nice to save some money and bring some supplies back to the UK with me. I am particularly interested in the stockists...

I have a bottle of the above from the Megs consumer range, whatâ€â„¢s the nearest equivalent from the Pro range ? Thanks in advance for any replies. WD :xyxthumbs

I am looking at buying these two products and just wanted a bit of advice. Do any of them contain fillers (I think #9 does) ? If they do does Megs do an equivalent that does not ? If possible would like to stick with Megs products as they are relatively easy to get hold of in the UK. I ask...
