Today's detail saw Bryan and I take another trip to see Jim to detail his recently acquired Mercedes CLK. Bry nactually went up for a few hours yesterday to wash and clay the car, clean the hood, arches, wheels and tyres - so this write up starts from after that stage so no before pics I'm...

Got a great weekend of detailing related projects planned! :) Tomorrow I'll be up at 6am, load up the car and off to a detail a Mercedes CLK which is about an hour away from where I live. Should get home around 6pm, then its reload the car with detailing gear for a day of...

The varied talk of polishes on detailing forums has got me thinking a lot recently about products and there comparative qualities... And I'm pretty much coming to the conclusion that as far as polishes go, there are a great many out there more than capable of delivering superb results *if* the...

First detail for me and Bryan since I got back from holiday in America, and what a great car to kick off with! :) We've detailed this 911 GT3 before, last year and since then the owner has kept it looking absolutely spot on. A recent trip to the bodyshop and the whole car was machine...

Well - its finest hour for me anyway! This deatil was the one where an old favourite polish, Meguiars #83 Dual Action Cleaner Polish, cane into its own with me... no fussiness as there was with the cerami-clear Menz, it just performed and performed damn well. So - down to the detail. A...

It was one of these days for the Menzerna polishes again - flashing instantly on spreding, clumping up, and just generally nor smoothly breaking down and being a nuiscance to get to finish properly... So, on today's detail (will write it up when its completed tomorrow), I decided to revisit...

This week, I fly out for the first time in my life to America, for my first holiday in six years (and also my first flight, which I'm more than a little nervous about!). But I'm seriously looking forward to a holiday, and visiting part of a huge country I've never seen before in my life. :)...

Decided to take my car for a little spin along West Sands at St Andrews as it was a nice evening... car has just had two layers of Optimum Opti-Seal (love this product, so easy and quick to use) put on over the top of two layers of Dodo Purple Haze wax - as OS can be used over a wax I've used...

Todays detail was a 2001 Honda Civic in solid dark blue that Stu's girlfriend recently bought, and it was in need of a bit of a detail... You see, the dealer machine polished the bonnet as a good will jesture: :rolleyes: The rest of the car was looking pretty good for six years old...

Todays detail was on my dad's car... He picked this Astra 1.4LS Estate up the same day I picked up the S60, and its paint always looked a little tired so today, the Dundee Detailing Team (complete with new member, Bryan's son Stu :thumb: ) set about giving the red paint the finish it...

Been meaning to try the Dodo Purple Haze wax out for a little while now, finally got a dryish weekend to get a couple of layers on the S60... As the car is black, I used Meguiars #7 Show Car Glaze on the car before the wax to give a nice deep wettness to the paint - its an old school product...

Not normally a huge fan of detailing interiors, Bryan is better at them... :) But I decided to tidy up the S60's interior as its just such a nice place to be, its even nicer when its clean! :lol: So, the leather was cleaned using Z Leather Cleaner and then conditioned using Z Treat...

Thought I'd post an update of my carnuaba wax collection which has grown a little since I last posted it a couple of months ago! :lol: So what do we have now..... :D Zymol Concours; Glasur; Creame Victoria Wax Concours; Collectors; Cruising Swissvax...

Yes - two of them! :thumb: Took a trip back to Jim's (Renmure) today to detail his friend's Ferrari 355, in rosso corsa as well... also, with the help of Jim, we topped up the Best Of Show on his car as well, two months after its detail. So, on with the show so to speak! :) Bryan...

A little test here of three light sources for spotting swilrs and other defects in paint work, to show a comparison of the different lights. The contenders: > Brinkmann Dual Xenon: infamous in detailing, widely considered to be *the* light for swilrs! > 3M Sun Gun: less well known in...

Todays main detail for Bryan and me was this rather stunning Lotus Exige - I'm a big fan of this type of no nonsense, track car! :) On arrival, the car: While I was sortig out a little damage on the Boxster, Bryan washed the wheels and arches on the Exige, and then Bryan slaims...

A detail for Bryan and me today, down to near Dunfermline for a very nice little Porsche Boxster. Alas, having arrived in Dunfermline after an hours drive we realised we had no transformer for the PC, and no camera!! :eek: So - Bryan's son Stu (expect to see a little more of Stu on the...

Bryan and I set to work on my new car today, bringing up to the standard I want for my car to be in. This full detail will take days over the bext few weeks to complete as we have time here and there (engine bay, interior, wheels, paint, plastics, rubbers, lights etc etc... everything on this...

Todays detail for Bryan and I was Swifty's (Criag's) new car - a jasper green Auid S8, which arrived already looking pretty good... But in the sunlight the dreaded swilrs were there and there was a milky effect to the aluminium trim letting the side down a bit. So onto work... First...

Todays detail for Bryan and I was a Ferrari F355 GTB, owned by Jim. Bryan had been delayed on his return from a trip to Irmscher in Germany so I headed up to Jim's early to get started, arriving just before 9am. A cup of coffee and a run through of the plan for the day and it was out to get...
