Hi Guys. I was contacted by this customer for a CQuartz Finest coating for his car. Went to view it and as it was full of swirls a 2 day detail was booked. On the day as you can see the swirls were pretty bad, so out with the Rupes and wool. Being German paint I broke out the Scholl S2 and...

Hi Chaps. Well here is my car in May starting to detail the Sorento and getting the paint corrected. As you may or not know most cars I did on full corrections got wet sanded. Seems pointless to me taking off all that clear to remove swirls if you don't at least take off the peaks of the peel...

Hi Chaps. This car owned by a friend of mine and was new to him, as you can see the paint was in a real mess. He had only got the car and was quite shocked by the condition. So a deal was struck for free haircuts for life as he owns a chain of barber shops if I look after his cars, seems fair to...

Finally finished Rod the BMW with 3 coats of Zaino Z2. As you may or may not know another part of my business is the buying and selling of BMW and Mercedes cars. Usually picked up at the local auction, turned around with a machine polish and sold. Plus I do prefer older cars, usually my daily...

Hi. I do a fair amount of orange peel removal here in the UK by wet sanding. My question is how do I check for the flatness in the panel without having to keep polishing back to panel first; I am sure there is a logical answer??? Thanks guys Steve

Not a full on detail, more of just a deep clean valet. Just showing what a difference a good claying session can do to a neglected car. The car is a 10 year old red Golf. Well after launching the Mirror Finish Express Valet Service we can respond to urgent calls out of the back of a fully...
