Well, yesterday we decided to climb Lochnagar in the Cairngorms. Allie is currently enjoying a few weeks at home in America, so it was me and two good friends from uni who set off up the mountain at 11am. Weather forecast was good, though as you'll see in this thread, the weather in the...

Again, videos for my guides revamp (ammeture, and some will require some editing), but for interest here too :) Another couple of videos, this time looking at rotary control away from the easy flat panels :) On this MG, we have trim pieces and a door handle "in the way", so careful choice of...

A thread created for DW as part of me revamping my guides over there, thought it may be interesting to folk here too... :) So, you've got all the gear, you know how to handle the machine polisher - but how do you choose what pad and polish combination to use to achieve correction on your...

Following the Hybrid LSP test, we have now decided to test two waxes from the boutique ranges in a head to head on an every day car to assess looks, water behaviour, durability and general application, feel etc of the wax. Unlike the Hyrbid test, I will name the products from the off and give...

Having been trying out Scholl S17+ recently, and seen its capability in short sets, I returned to Intensive Polish from Menzerna to see what it would do when used away from its traditional use and short-setted... IP, as will be shown in a future thread, is a very flexible polish with a variety...

For some time, Chemical Guys have sort of been forgotten about in terms of correction polishes for machine despite having some decent products in the range... the old Paint Correction products were lovely to use and forgiving, but were in my opinion plagued by the issues of lacking the cut of...

One of Scotland's most famous mountains, and an ideal first climb for those keen on climbing Munros: Schiehallion :) 1083m, it isn't a technical climb or particularly long so it was a good start for Allie's experiences climbing Munros. Pretty impressive really, Allie has a heart condition so...

Following Allie's baptism of fire onto the rotary polisher last month, this weekend presented an ideal opportunity to give Allie more goes with the rotary polisher on flat panels, and then begin to progress onto side panels... First of all, on the flat panels, Allie demonstrated a typical...

The standard rotary polishing method is based on what has been named the Zenith Point technique, where you start the machine at slow speed to spread the polish and then build to the working speed and work until the residue goes clear before dropping back down the speeds to refine. This has been...

The new Meguiars microfibre DA correction system is getting more and more air time now as the system is being used by more people and the same messages seem to be coming out - speed of correction and the movement of the level of correction capable in given times by DA. So we thought it was...

As with my other thread, snippets from guides which I am revamping which I hope members here will also find useful :) The two videos here were videos that Allie and myself made while working on a '70 MGB with the aim for them to become part of revamped machine polishing guides which are to...

I am currently revamping some detailing guides I wrote for a UK-based detailing forum which I am an active member of and as part of that I have been filming videos and writing snippets of different methods... I know there are very detailed guides already on this site but I thought this may be...

As part of revamping guides and making new videos to support them, a good friend agreed to lay on bacon rolls, coffee and then a good meal with wine and whisky in return for me polishing his 1970 MGB where I had a car to film videos of techniques etc on. Win win! :D So this writeup is just...

This is just a quick thread to give an initial flavour of the new Meguiars Microfibre DA correction system, which I will be testing over the coming weeks in a variety of different tests. :) So - my first introduction to microfibre being used with a DA for correction was with the Chemical...

Over the course of the summer holiday I am putting together some videos for some detailing processes and testing some new products and to do this I have needed a couple of willing car vounteers :D ... This is the first one, a 1976 MGB GT in solid white: Owner is a good friend and is...

The purpose of this little test by Gordon and myself was to try out some cutting compounds when applied using a middle of the road wool pad for application - testing the correction abilities for severe damage over a wide area. Wool has a reputation for aggressive correction and large paint...

"The Jewel of the Highlands" is what is written on the sign as you enter Plockton, on Scotland's west coast... It certainly is a beautiful little town and a great base for travelling round some truly stunning scenery that Scotland has to offer :) ... We didn't venture over to Skye on this...

So, I'm getting myself back into the way of testing detailing products :)... The next in the series of tests is on Swissvax Onyx. This is Swissvax's entry level wax, and when I originally bought it, it was priced to undercut its main rival in the market, Zymol Carbon. For a time, these two...

Videos: please note they have been speeded up, and the sound and picture don't quite allign! The DA (Dual Action) polisher is considered by many to be the machine to use if you are new to machine polishing, though as discussed elsewhere, this is not always the case - rather, you should try...

Because, just when you think all is going well... She'll turn on you!!! This attack was unprovoked! :doublesho:doublesho :lol::lol::lol::lol:
