I saw this thread on Detailing World http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=246929 and was guided by steve to his man detailing dave. Big thanks to saintsteve :happy2:
My car has been well looked after , but was lacking a real deep shine and was in need of a machine polish to bring the paint back to life and to try to remove some minor swirls. So it was off to see detailing dave so he could work his magic for me.
Look here for the detailing world thread http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=258686

After the engine was cleaned , AG silicone tyre dressing was sprayed on. This goes on as a foam,but after 30mins or so the foam had gone to leave a lovely glossy finish. I'm amazed at how new it looks. :happy2:

Does this Dave chap do detailing for a living or in his spare time? Would be interested in getting my paintwork (swirls and stone chips) sorted out. :happy2:

A couple of beading pics. Not the best quality but you get the idea. Poorboys wax is something I had never tried before , but after seeing how easy it is to use and the lovely glossy finish it leaves I will be buying some for sure :happy2:

Just been looking at some of your stuff over on Detailing World and the GTI's on here and WOW that's impressive mate. Would love you to have a go on my Tornado Red ED30. Covered in all sorts of swirls and no matter how hard I try she is just not at her best. From a distance (in a dusky light) she looks perrrrrfect but close up :sad1:
Good work fella :happy2:

So yesterday saw me return to the garage where dreams come true. Not for more sausage rolls , but to paint my rusty hubs and dust covers and to fill some stone chips plus remove what we think are cat scratches on the bonet.
The bonet though will have to wait as we need some wool pads because the foam pads wouldn't remove them , so thats a job for another day.
So it was off with the wheels and on with the Hammerite....
The sh*te under my arche's was terrible. Must have been carrying 1/2 tonne of crap around under there :surprised:

No more rusty hubs and tired looking dust covers.
Next job is the bonet and to paint the brake calipers.....
Thanks again to Dave for your help :happy2:

I love it. Looking very nice.
I'm ashamed my cars filthy but there are things that need doing on my car before i treat it to a detail.
