What with the weather improving ( be it only significantly ) and the detailing bug almost kicking in again I thought it might be nice to offer up a previous couple of works undertaken just recently. Firstly, we have a Range Rover sport which had been abused with car automated washes...

Secondly, we have a mk5 Volkswagen golf R32 which had seen the local car washes over the cold months. This one certainly portrays what you get for your money both from the car wash ( shocking ) and from me...

Enjoy and c & c welcome. :thumbsup:
 
Good work on the RRS mate, as a recently departed owner I know how tough they are to get right with the paint being so soft. Look on detailing world and there is a full fat range rover which was worked on, it was hideous ....I will try and find the post.

Scott is there anything you can recommend for white paint? I know poorboys do a light car polish, is this any good? Still using 476 after the SRP which looks good, but always after that next new thing.....

Thanks
 
I seriously hope the weather will be getting better soon as I've had my Z4 for 6ish weeks now and its rained "every" day :( WTF?
I use the MET office app on the iphone and for some bizarre reason they see fit to try and forecast 5 days ahead? Why the hell would they do that as it changes on a daily basis? The idea of a forecast is to give you an idea of what "will" happen not revisit it every day.

Mind you with their ability to completely "Arse" up the forecast over a few days I have no doubt they can tell me what the weather will be like in 50 years time because of global warming! :P

Oops, thread hijack, sorry chaps, you were saying?

Once washed / dried / de-tarred / clayed, try serious performance paint cleanser. Its a simple cleanser with a lot to give. Used it on my white astra van and the areas I worked on looked crisp where as the unworked areas actually looked grey in comparison. SP paint cleanser gives a real creaking clean and fresh finish, followed by poorboys white diamond or chenical guys ez creme glaze and it will look real nice.

:lol: at wheelie. Couldnt be any closer to the truth. Use it myself to help plan my days / weeks and it seldom rarley is spot on.
 
Thanks Scott, will order some today.....can't wait. The car looks good now, want it gleaming for the summer....
