I sprayed almost the whole car with Strovels - Alfasol Extra(tar&glue remover) let it dwell for almost 10min, then I hit it with the Kärcher preassur washer and after that I sprayed Strovels -...
This car came to my friend, who is a professional detailer and I helped him with the boot, left rear fender and left back door. As you can se the paint was in a realy bad shape, it must have been living in a swirlowash machine.
And to make it worse, this had a rock hard clear. Well I gathered...
Hi,
I wonder if anyone have mixed this two in one bottle(50/50 or someting like that) and therfore got away with only one coat instead of two? For an example, compare it with ZFX and Z2.
Think I must order some Duragloss, do you know if Duragloss ships to Europe? I have mailed them but no...
This car was pretty swirled up as you can see on the pictures.
One good thing is that Toyotas clears are pretty soft :xyxthumbs so you can
correct them without using the rotary. I only used the Top tool with a polishing and finishing pads.
1. Degreased the car first with a tar remover...

Btw: Live in Sweden.
This car was pretty swirled, I only have a couple of pictures from the trunk, and the whole car looked like that. On the hood someone has sanded two spots but didn´t use a compound to take away the scratches :shocked
This pictures shows the wetsand damage, they hade the sizes of...
Can anyone tell me anything about this product? How is the cleaning abilities, it´s says it will remove light oxidation and hairline scratches.Is it easy to work with?
Very slick? Beads or sheets water? Poor or good durability?
And finaly what colour does it have?
Thanks!
I gave a friend of mine a little help to detail this red Volvo with plenty of oxid. Anyone know when Volvo started to use clearcoats on this cars, 97-98?
Not so much shine here...just oxid.

To the right you can see how happy the...
This car belongs to a good friend of mine. He´s not a autopian and a nice car
like this needs to be detailed once in a while. So I detailed the car for him.
BTW this is some kind of special edition called "DTM" (Deutsche Touring masterschaft)

As many know, PPG makes or did make the ceramic clear coats for Mercedes. But they also makes the SPP1001 Dry Use Polish special for very hard clear coats like Mercedes, Volvo and so on. I am going to order a 32oz bottle but is their anyone with experience from this product? I am sick and tired...
I am very interested of Automagics 10QT Paint sealant and I wonder if someone have tested it? Is it good or just crap? Easy to apply and buff off and so on. You know, just everything about it.

And where to buy it online? I...
I just bought myself a new rotary, a Flex L3403 VRG and I must say it´s a superb machine! Very light only ~4lbs(1,9kg) and powerful(1300watt). Will never again use a heavy and bulky polisher. And I cant understand them who uses a Dewalt 849 polisher all day long. Thats a lot of weight...
Has anyone tried their products? I have only tested a few of them and I am amazed! Their dressings like Hy-Lyte and PBR are awsome. They got so many detailing products, the catalouge is ~40pages.

In another tread it was a discussion about that Menzerna PO85RD will be discontinued. I don´t say it´s a lie. But who told you this? As PO85RD is my favourite fine polish I don´t want this to be discontinued. Anyway I mailed Michael Welker, Order Processing Manager, Menzerna Germany and...
I was reading in the cyclo catalog about their sealant
http://www.cyclotoolmakers.com/Cyclo_catalog_200505.pdf
And I wonder if anyone has tried this sealant? If so, how is the durability? Applicaton, slickness and so on. They say it last very long, 12-18 months. Is this worth trying?
The paint wasn´t so bad but. It was still soft, not like all the other BMW paints. They are usualy very hard, but not this one. I must say that I love PO85RD, its one of the best fine polishes in the world. Or am I alone to think this?
Interior:
Vacum and a few sprays with the NU car smell...
