detailing

Hi all, Really want to detail my SL but am not sure where to start so thought may well pay someone to do it and see how it is done.... However I think it has some issues that need to go to the body shop first... Is there anyone I should talk to in the area who would advise me what to...

Hi, I have recently picked up a new car and I know the previous owner used Zaino AIO and then put a layer of R222 Carnuba wax over it. I have been using Car-lack 68 AIO and sealant for years and have always found this to be very good given the protection and the ease of application. I...

Hi - two bits of advice please. I'm hoping to refurb all my wheels and get the car properly detailed sometime in the spring. First of all, how much should I budget on spending to get the detailing done? There is just no way I'm going to manage taking it on myself right now, just too much...

And I did try, but after 2hours of washing, waxing and making sure I didn't miss a bit I threw in the towl. Cleaner but not perfect Nice reflections I had lost the will to live by this point but I did wax the exhausts so they should be easier to clean And I did the same to the...

I first found the detailingworld forum 2 ½ years ago, and have used it (and recommended others to it) many times since. It saddens me that my this post, instead of being a celebration of what I have learnt and achieved as a result, is instead a report of my very bad experience with a “detailer”...

Here's a quick question for all those who professionally detail cars, or just those who have a go at detailing their own. What drying aids do you use and why? Now by drying aids I mean to help the water bead and dry the car. Normally I spray a quick detailer - meg's last touch or speed...

How much would it cost to detail a W221 S Class LWB and where would i be able to get it done around in West London?

I have a very nice customer who had a quite ordinary E320 Coupe (W124). He has spent some considerable funds on bringing it back to a very high standard. One of the tasks we undertook was a complete respray. The spray company (in Blackpool) did not exactly do an outstanding job and have since...

Not quite an MB, but thought I would share it with you guys anyhow! Got delivered last monday. Within 5 days of delivery the seats were re trimmed to match the ferrari california seats, new alloys and tyres, coilovers and windows tinted. Its a top of the range caddy 2.0 140ps with only sat nav...

Today I gave the Elite Detailer Team a call to place an order (had to do it online) and was given all the advice and guidance I could ask for. Such a helpful bloke! I hope he see's this as I'm grateful. So after our chat finding out what results I want and budget I've firstly decided to go...

Hi there all, Last week I found some time to give my baby a good clean: First I rinsed it down with a hose, washed it with maguires shampoo (not quite got to the two bucket method yet!), Dried with a good microfibre (one of my best ever buys, dries the car in seconds), Clayed with...

While I'm getting some mechanical issues sorted with my MB my mind has started moving to the interior....... Everything is in good nick but I've got grey cloth seats and to be honest they are showing their 10 year age and the best way I can describe them is "grubby", no tears or worn bits just...

OK, you people on your Island have a habit of spending hours cleaning and shining your cars. That is nice indeed as a clan and shiny car is always a pleasure to see. Now in this country of mountains, banks and chocolate, we don't have the same habit in cleaning and shining our cars (apart from a...
