I'm about to detail a 2010 Mini & want to use RMG / YMW /CMW. I seem to remember that Clearkote products do not stain plastic trim, can anyone confirm this? thanks Mick

Just ordered a new Mini in pepper white. I have never detailed a white car before & am looking for advice on how to bling this tricky colour. I'll be polishing with Megs 205 initialy & have the following glazes /AOIs/ LSPs in my arsenal; RMG VMG megs #7 PB BH Poli-seal blackfire...

Hey guys I have a Mazda MX5 in copper red mica which is proving to be a bit of a pain. In the sunlight the colour look superb, lots of oranges & sparkle but in the shadow it looks really flat & the darker red shade looks very uninspiring. I've tried a few things on the paint, OS, 845...

Guys I'd be grateful if you could take a look at this & tell me if it's a paint burn; http://usera.imagecave.com/Macko1968/burn.JPG Thanks Mick

Folks I'm looking for a supplier of Edge 4 inch pads, the ones that dont need a BP, & will ship to the UK. The only source I can find in the UK seems to have stopped shipping peoples orders out, mine included. Google turns up 1000s of hits but none of any use. Grateful for any pointers...

Over on Detailing World one of the posters is fortunate enough to live & work in Monaco. He has kindly started posting pictures of the cars to be found around the tiny principality. Enjoy; Cars on the streets of Monaco! - Detailing World

My car currently has a couple of coats of #16 on it but Santa is bringing some RMG & CMW. The paint is 98% swirl free, just a few very fine ones only visible under a halogen. If I apply the RMG with the PC will it remove the old wax or will I need to go over the car with a paint work cleaner...

I'm a member of the RX8 Owners Cub Forum in the UK & it's driving me mad. Every day I see posts from know it all types gleefully advising people to do things that will ruin their paintwork. Today's gem is how to remove bugs from the front end & the suggestions include; Rub them with a...

One thing I've had zilch success with is getting cars smelling fresh again. No matter what product I use it just seems to mingle with the smell already in there. One thing I've considered is a fogger like this one; eBay.co.uk: FOGGER DEODORISER KIT, REMOTE +1Ltr FLUID CAR VALETING (item...

I'm doing a car on Saturday that is currently Zaino'd & the guy wants Zymol Concours putting on. 1) Will HD Cleanse be sufficient to remove the Zaino? The car is swirl free so no polishing should be needed. 2) Any suitable shampoos to use after it's done or any that he should avoid...

I'm fancying giving Zaino a whirl on my new RX8. The trouble is the prices in the UK are obscene, the equivalent of $55 for Z5 :eek: . Do you folks know of a US supplier that ships to the UK ? thanks in advance Mick

One thing my armoury lacks is a wet/dry vac for cleaning carpets and seats. I'd be interested to know what you folks use & recommend for this job ?

Okay so a friend calls me up & asks if I can wash & wax her car for her. I explain that it will probably need claying, polish & a glaze but she's not having it. The car is an 18 month old Honda Civic with a plenty of swirls & scratches so I wasn't expecting great results. I washed it with...

Only joking :bigups Can anyone tell me how long I need to let Werkstatt Acrylic Jet Trigger cure before appying further coats ?

A couple of weeks back I was bemoaning my experiece with Megs products, in particular how #16 killed the flake on a Civic I detailed. Today I had enough time to give my car a couple of coats of wax to see me through until the Christmas holidays. Looking round the garage the only paste wax I...

Do you folks ever get the feeling a particular brand doesn't like you ? Meguiars hates me. I've tried loads of their stuff and been very unhappy with all of it. Today I was doing a Honda Civic & everything was going swimmingly, that was until I decided to break out a tin of Megs 16 paste...

I'm looking for some advice from the pros about starting to earn money from detailing. I'm relatively new to the game, I only got a PC 2 weeks ago. That said, I've done my car & a couple of family member's & they all came out looking 100% better, I even managed to de-swirl my mother's Civic...

Might be a dumb question, can I apply Zaino Z2 with a PC ? The only UK supplier I can find refers to application by hand, no mention of the PC. :help:

I got myself a Gilmour gun last week & finally got a chance to use it today. Hmmmmm, not sure if I have a problem with mine but about 80% of the water I put through it just comes flooding back out the bottom of the handle. I get a very low pressure output from the nozzle. I ended up...

I've tried a few out, decidedly underwhelmed with P21s & the Megs stuff. Poorboys Super Slick & Suds is pretty impressive but I found it left my paint looking a bit washed out. I'm currently using Pinnacle which lathers up nicely & leaves my paint looking very rich & glossy.
