    Birdy Nam-Nam

    Today I got the biggest challenge in a long time: Old bird droppings. This was by far THE biggest dropping ever, on the roof of a brand new Bmw 525D Touring. I used the Flex VV-602, a Meg 8" wool pad, a Flex 8" wool pad with a combo of 3M Trizact compond and 3M Finesse-It polish. After going...

    Getting logged out without warning

    I have excessively trouble to stay at the forum website without being logged out when I'm about to write a comment. What is going on? No difference if I use IE7 or the latest Firefox. Any clues? I have tried to contact the webmaster twice so far and no answer-but you might have vacation. I have...

    Clay bars, your weapon of choice and why

    Friends, would you like to share your clay of choice and explain why you use it. At work i have had 3 different clays ie 3M, Clay Magic and a no-name clay bar which is a little softer. The latter is more flexible that the others so it's the choice right now since we can take a piece of it and...

    How to know when a scratch is too deep

    Friends, this might be out on a limb but I learned from a guy working with painting cars that if you have a deep scratch and want to know if you can polish it away (with a rotary), spray some liquid on it to determine what you can or cannot do. I use water, thing is if the scratch disappears...

    BMW M5 E39 years ago

    These photos are old, back to 2001 but the M5 came out nicely. It wasn't in too good shape but underneath the scratches and dirt was this car.

    My own car plus some

    My trusty Mazda 6...next car will be diesel fueled. The ones in the washing area are from the Carnauba Gold/Nano2K treatment. I polished for 4 hours straight the first time on this paint, it was so marred and scratched. Good thing with silver, not everything shows. The shots on the green...

    Beemer X5

    This baby saw a full master-treatment mush like the one the Skoda got. Same procedure except for the fact that I used the Flex 602 quite some. The Carnauba Gold gives a wicked gloss and topped with the Nano2K sealant it will last too. Again, sorry for the picture quality.

    Skoda Oktavia-year 2

    One of my very best friends drive this Skoda Octavia 1,9TDI. I put on a two-compound sealer when the car was new and now it was time to refresh the baby. Stuff used and process: Thorough wash-all with degreaser, tix degreaser, bug remover, wheel cleaner. Lots of schampoo, guys. Rinse with...

    How to get pics in right size

    How do I handle the size requirements of pictures here? I use my Nokia N73 cellphone for most of my pictures from work, it's not the worlds greatest but even with that baby the pictures are too big for uploading. All help is much appreciated! Daniel

    Deox wash

    Friends, when I started polishing 7 years ago my boss said "ONE wash, that's it" when we polished cars. I have memories of trying to remove deox/polish from all kinds of places on the car. Later after going to the internal detailing school, I have been doing deox wash after polishing ever since...

    New toy

    Today we invested in a Flex XC3401VRG at work and I love it! It's strong and powerful at low speed and you will have to have a strong set of wrists for this baby. We did an a-b test on a Peugeot Cab, polished one side with our Flex 602 and 3M Trizact 50077 Compound and the other side with this...

    Working Carnauba Gold

    Friends, I have ordered a bucket of Autosmart Carnauba Gold to my job. I know it will get a deep gloss but how should I best work with it. Is it best to work it in thin in the paint and then wipe it off with a machine? I never wax by hand these days. Any suggestions is much appreciated. Thanks!

    Bmw 525 M-Sport 2003 110 000 km:s

    This car is silver but I still did a double polish on it before deox-wash and waxing it. The pictures were taken in a hurry by my junior partner but the guy who is selling this was pleased and gave me extra cash to buy flowers for the Mrs.

    Long lasting sealants

    Friends, the Swedish climate is a bit extreme. Are you aware of a long lasting Sealant that will last minimum 12 months even if you use degreasers and tix degreasers when washing the car? Any information will be much appreciated. Daniel

    Bmw X5
