Class job! It's really satisfying isn't it. I've only done one before. Thanks for sharing mate.

Just a little quick wash today & polish/wax

 

Used EZ wash n wax shampoo (Red bottle smells lovely)

 

EZ quick detail spray while drying with towel (Red bottle, again smells lovely)

 

Smartwax polish/wax

 

A.P.E wax (easy to apply left to cure for 5mins & smells lovely)

That's a great turnaround. What products did you use please.

There an old Toyota that parks near my office in a similar condition. I often think it would be a bit of a wheeze just to polish a panel a day I the lunchbreak [emoji4] to see if the owner notices . [emoji33]

Just used meguiers da system and microfibre pads

Went around to a good mates house today to give him a lift with his cars........ Well, when I say a lift, I mean he left me to it while I gave him some tips.

So a full decon on his 166k miles A6 followed by a Polish with Britemax AIO Max. Big thanks to my mate Shaun for that sample, a decent All In One that can be used with a rotary to excellent effect! The A6 was a bit of a grey mess. Back to black now. Protected with Dodo Juice Supernatural Hybrid Nano.

And His 6 month old A1. Lifeshine applied from new, so a decent wash and then a layer of Angelwax The Fifth Element to finish. Love this colour!!

Fun day had! Got a great T-Shirt sun tqn now too. Haha.

This is our bmw after a day spent cleaning, not had it that long and was in a terrible state, usual routine foam with tfr mix,2bm, clay, de iron and de tar used autosmart red 7, autosmart tar and glue. With bilt hamber clay. I polished the car using scholl s17 on a orange hex pad followed by and wipe down using car chem ipa.first time using scholl products have to say they are awesome will defently be buying some more. After s17 I e m used s40 which again is brilliant, once wiped down again then sealed using chemical guys jetseal on a finishing pad via das6 pro, then 2 coats of britemax vantage wax, wheels sealed in tdg rasberry wheel seal first time using this, seemed to work fine but not sure how long will last but really nice to use. Anyways couple pics. Cheers

Looks amazing Sean. You can't beat white when it's done well, and you've got it bang on there mate!

Quick practice with the DA this aft......

A stock up on some EZ Car Care bits from a joint order with Stephen. Thanks a lot for that buddy!

A general tidy up of the garage stock too!

The only thing I've cleaned today are the shelves! The rain has been appaling!

Not a problem mate -  we got a decent haul from the eBay clearance store from EZ.

Those offers do seem to have dried up for now...... so best make that little lot last a while!

Reflection shots from the two clean black cars. The sun was the devil this morning! Clarity QD to the rescue!!

Superb job, there is an old Honda prelude parked up not far from me that is in exactly the same state, I would love to have a shot at it.

Got round to cleaning the vrs properly today usual method kkd foam, britemax shampoo, red 7 autosmart tardis and a clay. Hit it with my new favourites scholl s17 and s40 with chemical guys hexlogic pads, sealed with chemical guys jetseal and a layer of autofinnese essence and britemax vantage, pretty happy with how she turned it.

Stunning Sean, absolutely loving that!

Cheers pal, falling back in love with it again, thought about selling up but when I see her like this it changes my mind.

Cheers ste. Rather happy with her

I finally got round to having a bash at this 2003 Audi TT in metallic black.

 

I decided to experiment with my recent Scholl S20 purchase and used an orange CG Hex pad as the green pads, recommended for a one step process, just didn't do the job well at all.

 

The paintwork was in a horrendous condition, with lots of scuffs, chips and deep scratches....these became more apparent after a full decon.

 

Overall I was pleased with the outcome.

Gave the daily dirty derv it's weekly clean before it get tooooooooo hot.

Gave the Monte a good going over before a trip to Waxstock tomorrow. Powermaxed TFR, Bilt Hamber Autofoam, 2BM with Meguiars Gold Class, Auto Finesse Oblitarate and Iron X decon, BMD Adonis Pre-Wax Cleanser and finished off with BMD Sirius Dark. Wheels cleaned with ValetPro Bilberry and Megs APC for tyres and arches. Iron X used then Autobrite Cherry Glaze topped off with Collinite 845. Tyres got 2 coats of Gtechniq T1.
