[WildCards]

So, no before and after shots then?

[Nick Mann]

That sodding wii was picking on me!

Rich's VR4 did look super dooper shiney after the two polishing freaks did their freaky polishing! It was a bit scary at times, listening to them talk about polishing compounds using only codes...

I f anyone wants to lavish some polishing loving to their cars, I know who they ought to go to......

[Nice But]

Nice job, what polishes/sealants/whatevers did you use Don?

[richy rich]

Thank you very much for the hard hard work you and K put in to my car Don, it was looking so good this morning until I drove home and it p1ssed it down all the way home. It still looks good but not as good as this morning but the wax was working it magic and beading the rain off as I drove, Ive just got to keep it clean until it is sold.

Have some rep & id recommend you to anybody that wants there car detailed.

Aye, joking aside, i've never seen Richy's car looking so good, you've made it look mint again Don. Well done mate, and I hope Xanadu (Olivia Neutron Bomb?) takes off astronomically!

Nice job, what polishes/sealants/whatevers did you use Don?

process was..

Presoak with foam, Meguiars wheel Brightener 4:1 multiple times on the alloys.

Whole lower car soaked in Autosmart Tardis Tar remover.

Vinyl sticker glue removed with WD40

Washed with some of K's stuff.

Clayed with Sonus Green Clay mostly usings Megs Last Touch as a Lube.

Polished By Porter Cable using cutting pads and Meguiars #83 Cleaner/Polish.

All Vinyl and Rubber dressed with some Wierd Vinyl dressing I had laying around.

Single coat of Collinite #845 Double coat wax.


I think thats it..... To give some idea of time... Me and Kieren started about 11:45 and finished at 18:30ish with half an hour for lunch.

Xanadu Detailing is only a hobby for the time being. I'm having to fit it in between the wife working weekends most of the time so finding time to play with cars aint that easy.


Now I just need to lavish the same attention on my own Galant Ideally before Japfest

[miller]

Don that looks amazing! Gotta get ya on a session on mine before JAE!

Looks like fun was had! Sorry i missed out on a trip over!


Mike

[Nice But]

Thanks Don. It looks superb, I need to have a go at mine before Japfest as well.

Did my MX5 the other day, for an 18 year old she came up well.

[AncientOfMu]

I saw your thread on Detailing world . Looks like you have got to grips with your polisher quickly

The MX is looking mint btw

[White Lightning]

Great job again there Don and Kieran

(and the first pic I have seen of the 6G from the outside as a bonus!)

[Kieran]

What a great weekend!

It's always good to have the Mob descend on KieranCorp Towers and having another VR-4 to attack with a polisher was an added bonus!!

I must give a plug for Don here.... If you want a shiny car - You go see Don! His range of products is stunning and it's certainly given me some useful pointers - My new 6G has proven quite resistant to my current Sonus polishes. The paint is considerably tougher than the stuff on the 8G. However, ten minutes with some Menzerna ninja muck-mangling compound that I wouldn't have dared try and hey presto - No more swirlage!!

Thanks to Richy for sorting out my cack-handed welding on my Coupe and fabricating some more repair panels, and to Nick for trusting me to drive his legnum whilst he mapped it! That was fun!!

[shaun1978]

[Wodjno]
