For a bit of fun, hi Autopians, just wondering if you were stuck on a desert island and had to detail a Veyron but were only allowed 3 products for the bodywork (which is swirl city), what would they be?! Obviously you are allowed your choice of machine polisher, interested to see the results...

Hi, I am valeting my friends helicopter on Tuesday and need to machine out some deep scratches left from a engagement ring on the inside of the plexiglass. I'm good at sorting them on cars as I do this for a living but have not attempted it on a helicopter! Any information would be greatly...

I've been using a purified water filter for rinsing off the cars I valet everyday, and although I am really pleased with the results, it is becoming not very cost effective. Does anybody have a solution to produce cheap purified water so I can keep my business costs down and maximise my profits...

Hi, just wondering if anybody has any ideas on removing coffee stains from grey mercedes leather on a new CLS AMG! I have tried IPA and some other leather cleaners but have had no luck, any tips would be appreciated! Thanks, Stu.:bigups

Worked a 2007 Mustang Convertible in red today, the car was covered with heavy swirls, and scratches from a cat on the bonnet and boot/trunk. I used Menz Power Finish on a Sonus White 4 inch and literally nothing happened. Worked the same panel again and very little change. So, I brought out...

Hi, just wondering what Autopians would recommend to remove unwanted transfers from a vehicle. They've been on the car about 4 months, any ideas what is best to use to get the transfers off without removing the laquer with it! Hoping its going to be quite an easy job, just never had to remove...

Hi Autopians, just doing a quick survey to see what everyone's favourite weapon of choice is when doing a simple wash on their/clients vehicles. I personally prefer a lambs wool mitt, but would be very interested in hearing what you guys prefer! Look forward to any responses, Stu. :brit...

Can anyone let me know if they think Menzerna Final Finish polish has any fillers in it? I'm having a disagreement with a friend who says it does, but I can't see how as I always do a IPA wipedown or Menzerna Top Inspection after any passes, and have never seen any swirls, holograms or...

Some pics of the Aston DBS I did today, worked with Menzerna Final Finish with rotary, Sonus White pad, IPA'd, then Swissvax Cleaner and Wax, beautiful car, she came up great. Aston Martin Paint seems to be one of the very best to work with. I didn't take any before shots as it was very cloudy...

Just a few pics of the Vantage I worked with Menzerna Final Finish and my rotary using a Sonus white 4 inch pad, they really are fantastic pads to work with, soft but effective. I used very little pressure to remove the swirls and scratches and never went over 1500rpm. To finish the car I used...

Worked a C4S yesterday, did full correction on it, was suffering from 6 months of poor hand and machine washing. I washed it in Dodo Supernatural, clay bar'd it then I used my rotary with a Sonus 4 inch white pad and Menzerna Final Finish and was amazed how well the car came up. After an IPA...

Hi, I spent 2 hours using a machine polisher to remove some deep scratches from a 2004 Mercedes SL bootlid using Meguiars Ultimate Compound, and under the garage lights the results were fantastic. However when I pulled the car out into the sunlight today the boot is covered with swirlmarks...
