Lots more pics via the blog here!>>> Clickety click click!

You must have a good job to fund all that.

I would love a garage... i sat staring out of the window at the horrible weather waiting for a break so i could clean my vrs, never happened though :(

Good job? Just try to work hard, and yes, the garage is fantastic - we were very lucky to get the house with it as many in the village don't have one. It used to house a 355 and 964 RS!

HUBBA HUBBA!

Need those products in my life!

My god thats clean:eek:

Top job:thumbup:

Ta muchly!

Next target - wheels off and cleaning properly and a couple of coatsof the magic Jetseal 109

PS Roll on a sunny weekend and we can get cracking on your car Steve!

OH HELL YEAH!

Cant wait!

Cheers!!!

Nice that, although mine looks like that after a quick 20 mins wash with a bog standard car wash shampoo:confused:

I swear by Diamondbrite Jewelultra, have given it 2 coats in 3 years and my car still looks showroom after a quick wash down.

I've used virtually all known applications over the years, nothing comesclose to Diamondbrite imho.

Nice garage tho':)

I was told Diamondbrite wasn't too clever on Black cars?

A very pleasant 4 hours spent this afternoon with some new products

I spent a while doing a rush clean the other day - getting the 3 month winter coat off!

The products you are using look great as do the results.

What do these products cost , where would you buy them from?

Is it recommended practice to do this sort of detailing in a garage rather than outside?

Many thanks

Carefree,

If you're car looks anything like mine after 20 mins with normal car wash I will take my hat off to you, and then eat it, with ketchup and then post the video on YouTube! :rofl:

Diamond Brite is well known as the biggest money maker in the car business. Cost to dealer - £15, cost to consumer £300. No thanks :thumbdwn: Saying that, sealants do work well, but you can get a good one for under £20.

The garage is going to be gutted soon and given a proper sorting out - need to hire a skip and clear all the rubbish in the roof and get it boarded

Olivereed,

Products range from a tenner to a bit more than that

I would look at Polished Bliss' site and also Clean Your Car - they have everything you need

looks awesome mate i would love just love a garage to do this at night time what ever the weather you lucky lucky man

Cheers clidge! It is very useful - tackling the Mrs' VRs tomorrow

i've got the stonechips too,and i've noticed the painting i've had done is a different colour when polished and in the sun,i could have cried when i first saw it last week,but now i'm just angry:mad:

Luckily there a is a great guy in Hull called Tim Disney (local Chips Away guy) and he does a superb job - just rung him and seeing him tomoz

There are plenty of little chips on the front of the car, but these three new ones are right bleeders! Hopefully they will be gone soon!

All those products seem to have made the tail lights & number plate disappear!

Like the metal flake shot.

He he! My mega photoshop skills (Well using Sketch on the Mac instead).

The flake really pings well with the Zymol

Wait until we do my car Jon, then see what stone chips are all about!

Thats what going up and down the A15 does for you!

Barstewards!
