    complete newbie to detaling, need some advice please

    Best tar remover i find is autosmart tardis, and iron x is good for iron contaminents. In my opinion, by the time you buy all the kit to ie: polisher, polishes, pads, isopropyl alcohol etc, you may aswell get a pro to get it done properly and then spend time learning about sealants, waxes and...

    De-badging

    Autoglym intensive glue and tar remover is good for getting rid of the left over glue. Pop some on and leave for a few minutes and wipe with a microfibre cloth, repeat if necessary.

    Albi blue 197

    I must admit I was a bit tentative at first with giving the car some round the corners, but after a few days I feel a lot more confident and back to normal cornering speed I was before.

    Albi blue 197
