Belongs to a neighbour that we play football together. He has the detailing bug and I help him nurture it :). As seen in these 2 pics the general condition of the paint was quite well in terms of gloss. Nice pearly chocolate brown with quite healthy 110-140 mil measurements everywhere. These...

The project Prep Polishing Glaze Result after using Glasur Thanks for looking!

You may or may not have heard about the current situation in GR. Basically the government decided in one night to shut down the state owned media (both TV and radio). The pretence is to save money and reinstate an agile private owned successor. This constitutes a blatant violation of the...

Thanks to a great guy, I was able to get my hands on the LT 2x32oz system, which I managed to put on my 2 front seats yesterday. I applied it following the LT site instructions, more or less to the letter, and let RO sit for 24h, before I applied PC. In process... ... and...

Hello guys, I am thinking of getting a DSLR aiming at nice/creative detailing pics. Money wise I can only do entry level for now and my research so far has led me to these 2 models. Feedback from people who have shoot with either or both of these is more than welcome. Apart from the stock...

Background My first paid detail! Colleague’s 2007 Avensis 2nd hand. Silver ash (I think), DD, kept outside, washed in car washes perhaps once every 4-6 months (no info on previous owner’s regime). I promised a thorough wash (including Iron-X) / clay / 1-step polish / glaze / sealing. Nothing...

I think this one is difficult to pass. I am ordering mine asap. Also the kits seem great value. GLASUR GLAZE, ZYMOL, Cleaning Products | TCs Garage

As I understand it, there have been historicaly on Autopia (and everywhere else :) ) interesting debates about rotary vs DA or which tool is the best over another etc. etc. Unless my search was flawed, I cannot find an actual accurate account of what is out there and used the most. Perhaps...

Hi everyone, I was thinking the other day that, like myself, others may be past or active modelers/hobbyists (cars/planes/ figures etc etc.). This, for me at least, is because of the similarities in both fields (attention to detail, art&science, hard work, gadgets involved, admiration of the...

A friend's car is left with spots of transport wax on the wheels after dewaxing from the dealer. Time has passed, so he thinks he can't take it back for free of charge cleaning (well he may try during the next service). He has already tried 'solventy' products (like I have read here) with...

A question to the pros who grace this forum with their work and valuable advice. Would anyone be interested in coming over to Greece to teach on a seminar (perhaps a couple of days?) the eager members of the GR detailing community or anyone interested enough in the art of detailing? I...

This is a WIP thread with more comments and pics to come. Apologies for the long write up. A little background first. September 2008 VW EOS in metallic wheat beige. 39K miles mostly in the city. Car sits outside. New hood, front bumber and left fender as a result of a crash with a...

I am thinking of buying for a friend a pair of driving gloves and those wheelskins deerskin ones look interesting. Anyone using them? Feedback? Alternatives? How do they feel in hot/sunny conditions? Thanks in advance.
