Hahaha.... they’re not ‘new found’... I’ve been farting about with my DA polisher for years...

One of my best mates is selling a Volvo XC60 and he’s asked for my help... It’s a bloody big beast, So I said I’d glaze it to hide the swirls rather than spend days polishing them out, then put a decent coat of wax over the topOle gits rule wrote: ↑Sun Mar 28, 2021 5:42 pmSorry, I am number one in that queBoltz wrote: ↑Sun Mar 28, 2021 5:06 pmI wonder if I drop my Zed at TruBlu’s he will give it the once over for me with his new found detailing skillsOle gits rule wrote: ↑Sun Mar 28, 2021 4:16 pm It is one of the cleanest looking cars I have ever seen, it would be a tight call between you and true blue, wish I could spend the time detailing mine to that extent
It’s ‘temporary’ but ideal if you want to make a car (particularly a metallic black one like his Volvo is) look freshly polished

We have a black Mitshibishi Outlander as the family car, it takes a lot of effort to keep it clean and thats just the outside, kids football is starting again so there goes the clean interior

We have a DS3 Crossback which is tiny compared to an XC or Outlander and that takes a day to get clean, mind SWMBO does not exactly keep the inside clean and we live up a dirt track so it does not take much to get dirty with a little bit of rain

He’s doing the ‘clean’ part the day before, then dropping it in Friday morning. It’ll be a quick wipe down, followed by glaze via DA - 2 coats, and a hand application of wax. Few hours topsOle gits rule wrote: ↑Sun Mar 28, 2021 10:25 pmDam man he must be a good mate as that's a big bus to detail, you want to start up a business you could make a fortuneTrue-Blue wrote: ↑Sun Mar 28, 2021 6:15 pmOne of my best mates is selling a Volvo XC60 and he’s asked for my help...

It’s literally a spruce up to look good for sale

He’s one of my best mates.... and helped me move house in an emergency when we didn’t complete until 4.55, having had the first lorry load ready to go the night before! Stress

I have been there and done that 3 times in five years and stress is a bloody understatement, next time I move will be my last that's is for certain, I despise it with vengeance.

I feel like an excited school kid, although it will be a long day Friday, 3 hours or so on a Train past Manchester then a 4 & half hour drive back home, which I'm actually really looking forward too, shame the weather will most likely be too cold for the top to be down.

If its cold, get the roof down, heated seats on if it has them and crank the heater up ad it will be toasty in that cabinJay-Jay wrote: ↑Wed Apr 14, 2021 9:21 pm I feel like an excited school kid, although it will be a long day Friday, 3 hours or so on a Train past Manchester then a 4 & half hour drive back home, which I'm actually really looking forward too, shame the weather will most likely be too cold for the top to be down.
