Hi guys Spent all day today at our warehouse detailing dad's F40 The car is in really good condition, hand built italian quirks aside, so it didnt need much work. Also, since it doesnt have a clear coat and was painted by hand, i didnt want to use too harsh an abbrassive in fear of...

Hi guys Had my front and rear bumpers painted, so thought it'd be a good excuse to go over the whole car I borrowed my detailer's Festool ETS 150/5 and used the white and black CCS pads with Menz PO85RD. I then applied the Swissol Light cleaner fluid with the black CCS pad and topped with...

Hi guys I've been using the Z9 and Z10 on the light ecru (off white) nappa leather on my M3 The previous owner must have used a harsh cleaner on the front seat bases because when i wet the seats you can see areas where the dye is starting to come off/flake Strangely when the leather...

Hi guys I bought two Lake Country CCS pads from ProperAutoCare - one black and one white and the base/underneath section is blue. Ive used the black pad about 4 times now and it seems to be linting on the very edge Is it something im doing wrong? edit* just read the blue base is...

Hi guys Been meaning to add these pics for a while. I got my hands on some Pinnacle Souveran Spray Wax and am quite impressed with the finish vs other spray waxes like ocw and aw This is one spray of Spray Wax with 2 month old Z-AIO + multiple coats Z2-Pro underneath - my winter detail...

hi guys just added one of these to the collection and the paint needs some tlc. It has alot of swirls and light scratches in every panel, but im not sure what to use since the paint is non clear coated and looks pretty thin in some areas you can see the kevlar weave underneath the car only...

Hi guys Ive started to get some light scratches on my SMG gearknob and not sure what to use to remove them. They are very light, you cant feel them Material feels like chrome plated plastic - unless someone knows otherwise???? The gearknob has a clear round section on top that ive been...

Hi guys I had my first attempt at using an RO last weekend. I used the Zaino AIO on a very soft finishing pad and ive put some buff marks in some panels The problem is i didnt notice the buff marks and layered 3 coats of Z2-Pro Is there anyway of removing the Zaino so i can polish the...

Fellow Aussies what RO are you guys using? Im going to head down to Bunnings and take a look i was helping my mate with his detail yesterday and he was using the small Ozito upright RO and it was actually quite well balanced, but did feel like it wasnt heating the panel up enough to remove...

Hi guys Finally got around to taking pics of my new ride It's a late 05 build E46 M3 SMG Individual - color is LeMans blue with Light Ecru Nappa leather and black timber. When i saw this color combo i just fell in love with it, and being an Individual car, there isnt another out there in...

Hi guys Did my first Clearkote detail last weekend using RMG and CMW (see sig for pics). I really liked the potential of these products and wouldnt mind doing one big detail incorporating all the CK products Can someone help me understand where Yellow Moose and Vanilla Moose would fit in...

Hi guys Just got done giving dad's 430 some Clearkote lovin' (RMG + CMW) Ive been wanting to try these products for a while now having seen how good they look on members' cars here, so when i ordered some Einszett gear off Pakshak i thought id add them to my basket The 430 was...

Hi guys Received a new bottle of Z10 - thought id stock up since i was buying some other products I opened it up and the Z10 looks to have changed from white to a green/blue color. The odour is also softer. I thought id compare both products on my mums SLK (black leather) and both products...

Hi guys Ive been using QEW for a good month+ now and am really liking these water saving washes So i thought id try another product, the DP 4in1 I used the exact same process as i do with QEW Overall, i prefer the DP 4in1 for a few reasons; 1) I had concerns about QEW leaving...

Hi guys With our water restrictions (only allowed to use water for windscreen and headlights) ive really taken to using the QEW. So much easier and quicker than having to bucket wash late at night at my local high pressure machine wash Ive done about 7 full washes so far and have only now...

.......and i must say im converted - to a certain degree that is. I couldnt imagine using this wash method on my black car after weeks of road grime or getting caught in the wet - but then all id need to do is high pressure hose it down at the local carlovers before hand currently in Aus we...
