Main MB dealer did Star Guard paint protection on the car as part of the purchase deal.
When I finally uplifted my car, and 2 days later in sunshine, I see all the polisher swirl marks all over the car, not happy, but the dealer did not inspire confidence.
I am reluctant to let the same people...
This has always been on the things to do list when I first bought my car, so with this lovely weather I have decided to get it over and done with. I found the polishing technique is only a short term solution and I wanted a more permanent solution, without paying a visit to the MB parts...
Hi guys need you lots opinion on something?, what's the best things bringing the chrome back shinny and protecting it from getting really dirty again? I.e exhaust pipes
Having been plied with a gourmet meal and copious amounts of alcohol, it appears I "volunteered" to detail my next door neighbour's new-to-him 8-month old Kia Sportage or should that be "Sportard" :D
The Phantom Black metallic paint was in surprisingly good condition with evidence of only...
What is best to use to buff my car to a shine, a sheep's wool mitt or microfiber cloths, will the mitts hold more micro dirt coursing more swirling than a cloth, and is it best to have two cloths or mitts and use both hands to buff and shine.
Ho and one more thing should the cloths be well...
Hey there,
I am relatively a new car owner. Young, unexperienced. I am struggling to understand how car polishing services work. Spent some time on the internet and made it even more difficult for myself, so I will try to explain what I want. What I understand, and maybe someone can help me...
Does anyone know the best method for polishing the lip on my alloy wheels. I have a 1997 SL320 R129. The main part of the wheels are what I would call standard finish, the edges however are polished. These are looking a little tired but not that bad.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Hi
I know this question has been posted many times, but can anyone recommend a good polish for a metallic obsidian black CLK? for protection and shine for the winter as my car is left outside.
Received the triple pack of Menzerna polishes and the pads I ordered today Menzerna 250ml Polish Sample Kit - Elite Car Care and decided to hit the car with the rotary. Bloody brilliant stuff, only used the two of the polishes so far on the bonnet, roof and boot lid, but the results are...
I have a couple of rear lights that look terrible. One of them is almost white, looks like it's clouded over. I guess this is caused by UV damage?
Where should I start with getting them back to clear red?
Any suggestions on polishing uncoated mild steel (mirror finished)?
There are a few spots of surface rust, so I was thinking of taking a slightly abrasive paste (like brillo) to remove that... but how do I prevent them from coming back?
Oil isn't really an option as it leaves a sticky...
Spend around 3 hours on my baby.
All by hand.
Clayed, masked scratches with turtle chipstick.
Two coats using turtle magic (great stuff) nasty swirl marks gone

Hey,
I wonder if someone can offer some expert advice here.
Quick version: My dad has a dark blue Lexus and there was an accident with a pillar. Anyway, he's built out the damage, sanded it, primed it and now painted it with the colour & clear coat over the top (not sure how many coats)...
Well, the weather was perfect last weekend to get stuck into detailing the beastie however, it was too perfect. By the time I washed, IronX'd, de-tar'd and clayed the car the panels were very toasty and that was in the shade! :rolleyes:
So I packed in my hopes of getting the DA out and...
