Hope you're okay Roy? Happy to give you a hand if you pop it over to me. Russ.

Cheers :) I'm not much of a Leon fan really, but it looks great with the BTCC kit on

This was my first detail of 2012, and what a challenge it was! This car recently went into a local main dealer for some warranty work and came out a little worse for wear after being attacked with TFR and a gritty sponge, so today saw me remove their 'hard work' and also address most of the...

Few more cheeky pics including a preview of the new AF bits: Untitled by RussZS, on Flickr Untitled by RussZS, on Flickr Untitled by RussZS, on Flickr Untitled by RussZS, on Flickr

Will do Arran :) Roy, I'll have a bit of AF stock soon so let me know if you ever need any bits...

Should be pretty soon and uses a nice type of solvent so spreads very easily and is very easy to remove! Priced VERY competitively too!

James from Auto Finesse very kindly asked me along to help along with prep'ing a few cars and setting up shop for the AutoSport International Show. I managed to grab a couple of pics of some cars on display, some we quickly cleaned (very strict restriction on water in place!!) and some of the...

G101 is great on wheels. I generally have 10:1 and 4:1 mixed up ready to go - then use whichever one depending on how dirty the wheels in question are. You can email me anytime btw or ask away on my Facebook Page: http://www.facebook.com/MidlandsCarCare

Bilberry is too expensive - look at AutoSmart Smart Wheels which is about £15 for 5L and is much better than Bilberry.

It'll probably streak when it rains... but let us know how you get on. Megs Gold Class Trim Detailer is probably the best bet from Halfords. Auto Finesse Revive is a good choice for when you next order.

The clay is lifting bonded contamination from your paintwork. This contamination then moulds itself into the clay itself so it therefore lifted, or at worst flush with, the flat surface making contact with your paint. To minimise risk, you should fold your claybar to keep the active surface as...

Thanks all!! Liam - that's a very kind offer! I was planning to go to Australia in 2012... so you never know! James - look forward to it :) Russ

Awesome photos!! What did you both use?

No problem. Sorry for not replying sooner, I've not been at a PC much this week I'm afraid and you wouldn't believe how many PM's I get per week... (across a lot of forums) Russ.

Cheers :) The problem with Aston Martin is that they often use sanding machines, which can result in pig tailing when a grain of dirt gets on the panel then between the panel and the disc on the machine. It's all too easily done and not easy to rectify. Working by hand is harder and takes far...

Yes I think I will tbh. I need a few more under my belt for friends and family first, to be completely happy with what I'm doing before charging, but I certainly will. It will take a realistic 50 hours to get perfect so won't be cheap, but Kelly charges £3000 to do an M3, but tbh after...

I thought the same too Jase but now its been explained to me it makes sense. If you can imagine that the orange peel is just a load of uneven bumps with high and low spots, like a valley of hills. The bottom of the hills is where the even layer of clearcoat is (and always has been - at the...

It was Kelly who taught me yes, then we did it together. DSC01949 by RussZS, on Flickr I had Roy from Pro Valeting, who is one the best in the country, give us a hand too which was pretty cool! DSC02061 by RussZS, on Flickr (Kelly is on the right) Russ.

DSC01955 by RussZS, on Flickr Luckily, I was being trained by the best so it turned out rather well. I have 1000 pics to sort through and 30 hours hours went into it, removing all of the orange peel from my cars clearcoat, making it as flat so therefore reflective as possible...
