Thanks for the thread BobbyG. lots of great information.

Hey guys. Ok so the only cars I have detailed so far have been mine and a few cars belonging to family. Much more of a weekend warrior. However, I have recently had a work colleague ask for me to detail his BMW 3 Series. Full machine polish, the works basically. He has asked how much to get...

Hi, yeah the car was washed and Clayed before attempting the swirl removal, I had the machine set to speed setting 5 and was using about 15-20lbs of pressure, completed 6 passes (3 horizontal-3 Vertical) Cheers.

Hey guys, so I used the Wolfgang twins to remove the swirls from my car, after doing a test spot with the Total Swirl Remover and the finishing glaze, using the Megs G220V2 and a CCS orange foam pad it became clear I was going to need to use a more aggressive system. My question is if I use...

Providing we get some dry weather this weekend I am going to be giving it another go. I went back and checked the machine to see what speed setting I was using and it was on speed 2. I'm assuming this would not have helped matters?

I'm using the 7" pad from Meguiars at the moment. I have purchased some Lake Country CCS 5.5" but haven't tried that out yet. These are all great coments, thank you guys.

Hey guys, ok so today was the first time I used my Meguiars G220 v2. What can I say, it's harder than I thought. This is the first time I have ever used a machine, I was only applying a wax but wanted to give it a go. I found that the machine "got away from me" it felt like it was pulling me...

The glass doesnt have many defects, its more a case of removing Road Film. Light waterspots, road spray etc.

I’m going to be polishing my windscreen with Detailers Pro High Performance Glass Restorer and I’m wondering what foam pad would be best to apply this with using a DA polisher? Many Thanks Jay

Hi guys, Can anyone tell me when certain clay needs to be used? Ultra Fine, Medium and Aggressive. When should an Aggressive clay be used and so on. Many Thanks Jay

Hey guys, I am going to be a performing a full paint restoration for the first time and would like a little bit of advise. I am fine with washing, claying, compounding and polishing but would like to ask is there any benefit from applying a paint sealant and then a wax Now I would always...

I did recently put up a post about CG so i think I'll CG Fabric Clean a go. Thanks guys.

Hey Guys, I’m in the market for something to clean fabric seats with. I’ve seen a lot of spot cleaners but i need something that’s safe enough to use on the all the cars fabric interior (roof, seats, carpets). The fabric inside the car is in good condition (with the exception of one little...

Thanks for your replys. Got to say that Chemical Guys Thread linked on to this thread was very informative. I may try a couple of bits out and see how it goes but from what people have written on the other thread I can see myself continuing to use alternative products. But we'll see how it goes.

Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen. So i have had experiance using a few brands now (Megs,Wolfgang,Autoglym etc) but I would like your opinions on Chemical Guys. I have watched a lot of their videos on YouTube and it looks good but i dont know if its just hype around an inferior product...

You're a star, thank you mike. Can the Swirl Remover be used on RIDS with a heavier cutting pad or would you recommend a more aggressive product for them? Many Thanks Jay P.S. just purchased your book and very excited to take delivery of it.

Hey Guys and Girls, looking for some advice. My car has Swirls all over it, im not really sure as to what swirl remover to use. I can see that the Wolfgang Swirl Remover 3.0 is a pretty aggressive compound and the Meguiars Swirl Remover is less aggressive. Do you have any advice on what...

Ill make sure I post some pictures tomorrow. Thanks again for the help.
