Show Us Your Reflection Shots

After your suggestion as well as watching Jon's video (Forensic Detailing) I was thinking S30 Gold with orange pads. I am doing another friends Astra over the weekend (he is paying me ) and I get to keep the stuff . Say what mate (on the products).

Would love rotary but a bit scared

As always go with the least aggressive compound and pad first
A Astra good luck with that lol Vauxhalls clear coat is even softer than ford's lol so it should correct easily

Could not resist. Got the DA out again and just waxed it. This time Chemical Guys butter wax went on better than last week effort.

Washed the S4 after almost a month and 2-ish weeks after Oxford Audi effed up the boot

I find the end result therapeutic, same as gardening

And in case you were wondering what have Oxford Audi done to the S4, below is the difference and it took them one wash to make the boot look like that:

Boot (it's dull, different colour and has spiderweb rather than swirl marks all over it)

Drove the car in the rain yesterday and in a bit of it this morning and man she still shines. Not a single bit of water mark on the paint or dust - down to the wash, isn't it.

. The car was washed Tuesday last week. To be honest, I wasn't expecting it to be clean at all as there was light drizzle when I left for work in the morning. I was really surprised as well as pleased to see how clean it was when I left for lunch break. Saves me some time from giving it another wash this week, which I was planning to

Very, very nice mate. Love that blue and looks like the detailing was spot on as always

Just a regular wash today and dried using Autoglym Aqua Wax.

Also a nice scratch left by the neighbour’s gardener which I need to find a body shop for.

Neglected the car for the past 4-6weeks.
Two Bucket wash with Bilt Hamber Auto Wash
Microfibre dry
PB Blackhole (by hand)
CarPro Reload
Megs gel for tyres

I need to invest in a DA because the swirls are giving me nightmares. PB does a good job of masking them but I feel like a fraud by covering them up lol.

Your fault for selling the pro plus to tashfeen.
Gutted I missed that.

In all seriousness. I’m probably going to be using it a handful of times then per year (zero intentions of doing other peoples cars).

Scrap that, i’ll probably practice on my brothers lease car and once I’ve got my technique down/ruined his paint, will move onto the A3.

What would you plump for? entry level DAS6 / pro / pro plus.

The Pro plus with the 15mm throw mate as l had, great machine the minus point well for me it was, it's slightly noisy at higher speeds so ear plugs recommend or you’ll get the old ringing in your shell likes
