Hi guys, Another guy here needing some Facebook help :) Started my little company earlier this year, it's going ok, but more likes is always helpful! Thanks, Daz, Delta Detailing, Airdrie, Scotland. Car detailing studio offering bespoke car care, paintwork correction and scratch repair...

Not sure if you can get this in the USA, but Bilt Hamber Hydra Wax or Micro fine are excellent.

I'll also give a shout to Menzerna FG400. As long as you don't set your machine to top speed and over-polish, it dusts little and finishes really sharp. On hard paint German cars I ususally can leave the finish as it's glossy and full of clarity.

I have to say bud, that was more than a few strokes to do that with 3000 grit. From wet sanding and using a paint thickness guage whilst doing it, you get an idea how far you can go, and you've went far! To fully fix that damage will need a re-spray sadly.

I'm not sure how strong this Tarminator stuff is, but here I use Autosmart Tardis. Spray it on, pressure wash it off after a few mins, a few goes of that then wash the car as normal, any tar left is usually very soft now and just washes off, then treat to a clay bar to leave it silky smooth...

Paintwork is protected with Bilt Hamber Finis Wax which is a truly excellent product that has excellent durability. Lasts a good 6 months on a daily driver here in Scotland which is great considering the terrible weather we have here. Most waxes and sealants no matter the price, last around...

Just a learning curve for you mate. If you had fully and completely inspected the car with the correct type of lighting you would have noticed the strange brush marks and could have shown the customer whilst they were there. When anyone brings a car to me, the first thing I do is inspect it...

I would recommend Menzerna FG400, great product, will remove the sanding marks and leave a near mirror finish with the correct pad.

No matter if its wax, sealant or a coating, you want to keep it as clean as possibly without claying or using strong chemicals. A car washed frequently with a decent product will stay clean and mostly un-contaminated.

Most likely just a light polish to remove swirls mate, you want to touch the paint as little as possible, and remove as little as possible any time you do have to work in it. Consider using a coating from Gtechniq or similar once you fix the paint this time, then your car will be protected for...

No set standards in this industry. The best thing is only use someone who's work you have seen and who has also been recommended. Pretty much all my work these days is referrals from other customers. Also pays to keep your garage/van clean and tidy, presents a good image.

Looks great buddy :) And yeah there is always something.

Have you bought a decent guage? Cheap guages are not reliable, I only use a Defelsko guage as after using quite a few, this one is reliable. As for thickness, no two cars are the same, even when from the same manufacturer. It takes experience, once you have measured a load of cars and in a...

I've been using Gtechniq EXO and find it brilliant and very durable. Although it will be interesting to see how it survives a Scottish winter with lots of salt on the roads and low/freezing temperatures.
