Having been in receipt of the relatively newly stocked KESTRAL DAS-6 Dual Action Polisher, I thought I'd share with you my experiences....
You can pick your choice of which pads and polish products you want... personally I went for the Sonus pads and Menzerna Products (polishes).
I actually...
I have been reading a bit on here about claying and how it can help with a deeper shine to the polished surface.
My question is, if my car has been treated with Star Guard, what effect will claying have on my paintwork finish?
The colour of my car is Trabertein Beige.
Looking forward to...
As some of you may know, my W210 Cdi went through something of an arch and bumper refurb in the form of new wings and a full front bumper respray.
Unfortunately this meant that the already tired car looked even more so compared to the new paint.
So this morning I took a quick drive into...
Hi
Does anyone have a detailing guide for cleaning the car interior?

Hi All,

Right so the W124 has a whole bunch of components exposed, my car has maybe 250,000 miles on it, and the engine bay is filthy.. i know i should cover the obvious with plastic (alternator, distributor cap) but plastic won't mess it up? and also how would i cover the spark plugs?
Is there a kit that a novice can purchase to use for reasonable cost?
My car was detailed just before I purchased it a couple of months ago, it's never looked as good sinse!
There is almost to much advice on here with dual action polishers, US products etc.
I would like some kind of kit...
After alot of thought and consideration I have booked my car in with these guys in about 4 weeks time to get full paint correction and a full detail. I know the detailers are not cheap and I thought it would be a waste of money but I have seen his work on several of my friends cars and the...

My car went in for a "proper" cleaning and polishing using a company I have used on my previous C Class as well (full details further down the page).
As last time, James (the guy doing the work) has excelled himself again in the level of achievement on my car. In fact, I think it looks better...

Well after an afternoon getting to grips with a clay bar I have certainly seen the light in terms of cleaning a car properly. I have however now unearthed a couple of other problems that I was after some advice on how to deal with the following issues (see pics!)
- There seems to be a...
Hi All,
Finally managed to get some pics after 2 1/2 days of detailing!
I think that you will agree that Alex L from southcoastdetailing did a great job.
Thanks Alex.
Oh and thanks again to BarryH for his help too.
