Today's detail for Bryan and I, a 2002 Range Rover Vogue in metallic black. When we arrived, the car looked really clean, having been very recently washed by the owner. :) However, it did seem to look rather greyish than black: And this is why the car looked like this...

Today's detail, involving all of Stu, Bryan and myself throughout the day was a rather cracking BMW E46 330d in a mid-blue metallic. Very nice car, and the colour really suited it IMHO. The detail was originally meant to be Bryan and myself... but then Bryan landed jury duty, so Stu came...

Today's detail for Bryan and I was a Le Mans Blue (lovely colour) BMW 320d, on an 06 plate. It was clear that this car had been well cared for, but the swirls on the paint were bugging the owner, so today's challenge was to remove them and refine the finish of the car so that the owner could...

Today's detail for Bryan and I was to give this old girl of a car a good tidy up and restore the gloss to the finish. 1991, and near 140k miles, its not a new car but the aim was to get her looking as good as possible for the owner! :) Bryan washed and clayed the car ready for machine...

PDF DA Polishing Guide Above is a link to a pdf formatted guide to Dual Action Polishing. This is a beta version of the document, so I appreciate all feedback on mistakes and suggestions for improvement throughout please. :) Nevertheless, I hope that this document proves a useful...

Perhaps I am strange... But I derive just as much pleasure out of detailing an everyday little supermini as I do out of detailing a supercar. In fact, the beauty of a little supermini is making a Fiesta stand out in the crowd is a little harder than a Lambo, which stands out anyway (whether or...

A friend of mine who works in the same research group as me, Tom, has a little Vauxhall Corsa 1.0 Comfort. Smart wee car, hardy and drives well - but Tom told me that the pinkness to the paint was really annoying him... :doublesho A red Vauxhall going pink?! Surely not!! :lol: :lol...

And when I say soft... I mean butter soft! The detail for Bryan and I for the past two days has been a dark blue metallic Honda Accord i-CDTi, three years old and regularly washed I believe by a local valeting company. The car on arrival was certainly not too shocking looking either, but...

I've been in a but of detailing time out for the past few weeks over the winter period to step back and think about ways to improve my detailing and also to prepare a set of new dtailing guides and spend some time on my Physics book (for schools)... Took a wee break from writing detailing...

This is something I've been putting off for far too long - Zaino products. For those that know me, you'll know I'm a big fan of my wax finishes for an LSP- not expensive waxes, cheaper waxes deliver pretty much just the same (IMHO) with the odd exception (Swissvax Best of Show). They do...

Then most recent detail from Bryan and myself (Stu was working during this one, alas) was a 21 years old Zinnobar Red BMW M535i belonging to a good friend of Bryan. A car from my youth this one as my neighbour had one when I was young, I've been lookiong forard to this detail - a car that, for...

The first detail of the year for Bryan, Stu and myself, and a great car to kick off with: Lexus IS200 in what is for me the ultimate colour to detail, solid black. Bryan and Stu prepared this car last night by washing and claying so it was ready to start machine polishing this morning...

As 2007 draws to a cold and dark close, the car looking like its been dragged backwards through a hedge, I decided to leaf through the pics of detailing from this year and compose a summary thread of the highlights of my year in detailing - both detailing cars, and attending and demonstrating at...

Today's detail was a low mileage and well cared for Citroen Xsara Picasso. Bryan and Stu worked last night to prep the car ready for machine polishing - washing and claying the car ready for today's work. The paintwork was not bad on this car - it was a well cared for example for sure, and...

Today's detail was a new shape Honda Civic Type R in one of my favourite colours on all cars: Honda Nighthawk Black, with a cracking dark blue flake in the black paint. The car arrived looking very clean, despite the weather - pouring rain. Bryan set about the wheels and arches with...

Todays detail was for Bryan and myself, a British Racing Green Jaguar XKR. Bryan made an early start on the car with Stu to get it washed, clayed, arches and wheels washed and arches dressed all before I arrived! (At 9am)... The car looked good from afar, too... But come up close, and...

A smart little Honda S2000 to detail today. :) The car arrived already looking pretty clean, the car obviiously has been well cared for. While Bryan set to the wheels and arches, Stu and I set about washing the car to remove the light coating of dirt on the paintwork. With the paintwork...

This summer I went for my first holiday to America - to visit my girlfriend who I met at university in St Andrews, who stays in the Lehigh Valley, PA. I had an awsome time, really enjoyed my first time on the other side of the pond - though I think the company also had a lot to do with that as...

Another week, another Mercedes! :lol: Toady's detail was carried on primarily by Stu and myself on a six year old Mercedes CL 500, in metallic black. While I washed the bodywork, Stu set about the arches which where full of mud, cleaning them thoroughly before dressing with Meguiars All...

I've been wondering lately about how long it actually takes to do a full detail on a car. Speaking as the enthusiast detailer that I am, with no business time pressures to consider, I have sat back and considered the amount of work that goes into a full exterior only detail - from the washing...
