My last full detail and protection application was done back in April, it still looks as good as it did then after i wash it and throw on some QD :) Only thing that makes the car look dirty is the wheels, that should stop once i get them done in a darker colour :)

I use 3 or 4 pea size drops on a scouring sponge but use the soft side obviously!

megs ultimate tyre gel is pretty good

Jeez £110 a wheel is expensive, TWS will do the same job for £300 if you barter them down! Done in a day too the finish is immaculate only need to look at their Facebook page to see the results they do all sorts from the exotic stuff to old school projects!

Just make sure they do a proper job and do the whole wheel as opposed to just the face! Im not getting mine done yet unfortunately probably be late in the year if not next year! :(

For anyone who's interested, two and a half months down the line after doing this after a wash the paintwork still looks near enough as good as it did then, that collinite is seriously good protection!

Yeah they where TWS's tester rims, AMG merc ones! The black is a standard powder coat and then the fleck is applied by hand. Are you localish to ellesmere port mate (i remember talking to you the other month) as thats where they are based and they can do it all in a day for about £300-£350...

Im going to get mine done smoked chrome from the wheel specialist, its done by hand where the base coat is black then a silver flecked paint is applied by hand to the face, its basically gunmetal/anthracite but a little bit different! This is what it looks like against the car!

Yeah id guess around £300-500 at a body shop for what i can see there! No a dual action polisher isn't a machine polisher which can make things worse, from what I've read on dual action polishers you can't go wrong! Its also worth remembering that SRP and the likes are polishers that only fill...

My advice would be to ditch the pressure washer lance and snow foam, its not necessary for the home detailer (IMO) anyway & get a duel action polisher kit from CYC, the menzerna one is a good buy here: DAS-6 PRO Dual Action Polisher - Menzerna Intro. Kit - Clean Your Car Hope that helps, The...

What do we reckon then is this worth getting? I've a few deep chips that id like to sort without spending a fortune, you can't stop stone chips on a car that's being driven daily but something to tidy up what's there would be nice!

Suprised you missed this with it being at the top of the page.. http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/detailing/215062-my-ice-silver-s3-detail-including-autofinesse-triple-aio-collinite-476s-review.html The pictures paint a thousand words, there are better products out there for sure but for a grand...

They look an awful lot better yeah! haha

Same as me when the car got reversed into! How was he about paying?

A 6 month old A3 though.. i wouldn't even be bothering, id be already booked in for a full detail mate and be giving him the quote to repair the damage, i know their your neighbours but its his mistake and he should do the honourable thing! I see where your coming from but if I'm honest id...

I'd be showing him what he's done then giving him the bill for a full wash, decontaminate & detail!! Some just people just cease to amaze me!

After proper paint prep, I.e a full wash, decontamination and then polish. Apply a good sealant or wax or both in that order, never the other way around. A good quality quick detailer will suffice to keep your finish looking good after washes untill more sealant or wax is required, remeber the...

Few more pics after todays clean, I used the Gliptone leather cleaner and conditioner to get the buckets looking as they should, highly recommended as the cleaner also fills any small cracks and wear marks :) I Used TRIX on the wheels after a weak bilberry wash, my god it stinks, literally and...

Wax is a last stage product and as far as I'm aware you don't apply it with machine? You polish with a DA/machine or by hand then apply your wax. A good wax will last a minimum of 3 months unless you go for something that's designed for longer lasting protection such as collinite. You don't...

Bang on, sorry, i need to change that! haha
