What have you done to your motor today?

Today i started the process of removing the rough crap that feels horrible when you rub your hand over the paint.
Im using a Clay bar, followed by T-cut to remove them little scraches, followed by a cream polish.
It took an hour just to do one panel, but the difference is just amazing, the rain even acts differently over the paint, but more importantly it feels and looks like glass. Thumbs Up

bring on the other 10 or so panels Rolling with laughter

It's a slippery slope Mr Holywood.
Don't check out www.detailingworld.co.uk, you'll have a garage full of products and an empty wallet before you can say, "what wax should I use"? Laughing

Anyway, good work on the clay bar, probably the single most thing that can dramatically improve a cars paint. Once you've used one, you'll wonder why you've not used them on all you previous cars. ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

I washed clayed washed polished and waxed last Saturday with a helpful hand took two of us 4 and half hours. It is a very slippery slow as pointed out by bean counter. I have a whole array of products and wouldn't even consider my self a good detailer. But it is always worth the effort on your pride and joy shinning back at you.

Great trip thanks mate, terrible rain on the drive down and back but the beast coped really well. Think the pics below speak for themselves - considering the weather we have been having we had 4 dry days and sun! Smile

New Zealand 2013 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Autobiography Santorini Black

Recently updated the Rear End of mine with later style Rear Lamps etc. amazed how much difference it makes. Not sure about the reflectors though, also want to get the black re-sprayed matt instead of satin. Not everyone's taste I'm sure but I quite like it.

Before


After



Cheers
