This is another Krankies detail - both Bryan and me working on this one with Dave's (the owner) help too! :thumb: The car on arrival was very clean: Closer inspection of the paint however revealed swirling which was robbing the finish of a good gloss, so the task in hand was to...

Well, decided to try out the rotary polisher for the first time yesterday evening... Wasn't sure what to expect from it, wondering if it would be this fire breathing monster that was going to burn the paint as soon as look at it!! :lol: :lol: So, I watched the Machine Polishing DVD by Brazo...

The first test panel to try my new Makita out on... Picked it up from a local bodyshop, they just gave it to me as they were chucking it out. Probably cause of the dent on the front part of the door... Still, the back two thirds of the door and the lower part are all okay...

Well after spending much time mastering the pC and getting 110% happy with it, I decided to move up onto the rotary polisher and learn to use that too. Its arrived from Screwfix Direct today - my Makita 9227CB. :D And with some of my new Menzerna products (Power Gloss...

My dad's going to a funeral on Wednesday, asked if I could tidy his car up for him... Two months ago, this car had the fully monty of Menzerna products (with the exception of Power Gloss) applied by me to remove very sever car-wash swirls, and underneath the mud the paint was still looking...

There was a mini-detailing meet held in Dundee, Bonnie Scotland today - a very small meeting with four of us, and a car to detail - but it was a great day, and is always nice to meet up with fellow detailers and share tips. The start of the day consisted of a demonstration by and AutoGlym...

Posted this in the Click & Brag section too, thought that it may be worth enterring into the monthly competition for June - nothing ventured, nothing gained! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the full write up...

This is the full write up of the red Toyota Starlett that was delivered to me on Monday and the owner has just recently picked up. She seemed pretty pleased with the results too, which makes me a happy detailer! :) Anyways, down to the detail. First off some before pictures. The car's...

Just thought I'd introduce myself in the UK part of the forum too, I'm Dave from Dundee, up in Scotland - those who frequent Detailing World or Meguiars (UK and USA ones) will likely already know me quite well! Decided to pop over to Autopia too. :)

Thought I'd introduce myself - new guy on the forum, but not new to detailing. Been detailing cars for a while now, worked with a PC7424 for a good while too. Not a pro, just a happy ameture who enjoys detailing his own car (a star silver Vauxhall Astra 1.8 SRi 16v, 2003) and cars of friends...

Three days to get this car from a swirled mess to looking sharp - it had a new engine after a snapped timing belt, so decided to attempt to give the car like new paintwork to go with if for a good friend... Enjoy! Day 1 Arrived in the early evening to begin work on my good friend's Audi A4...
