    Quick machine polish - Clio 200 Front Diffuser

    ~I did that by hand as it was impossible to fit the machine into the space. It came up pretty well, but needed the mechanical action of the polisher ideally. I must invest in a Festool RAP80 for tighter areas..

    Quick machine polish - Clio 200 Front Diffuser

    I was asked to see what I could do regarding the condition of this gloss black front diffuser on his rather lovely Albi Blue Clio 200. I hadn't seen any pictures before I arrived, but this is what I was working with: DSC00787 by RussZS, on Flickr DSC00786 by RussZS, on Flickr...

    Butchered by a bodyshop... Nissan 350Z Enhancement

    Thanks all, very kind words :) Hi Adam, On wheels I use Autosmart Smart Wheels @ 4:1, then EZ Detail Brush and Swissvax Wheel brushes normally. Polish wise, I used a finishing polish and pad, which were enough to correct this very soft paint! Thanks, Russ.

    Butchered by a bodyshop... Nissan 350Z Enhancement

    The owner of this car originally came to see me a few weeks ago, a few days after parts of his car had been resprayed, concerned at the severity of the swirling and hologramming present on his 'fresh out of the bodyshop' paint! It was a pretty bright day, and I could see it was in a bit of a...

    Enhancement Detail - RenaultSport Clio 197 Cup in Glacier White

    I've just realised something - this is the 30th RenaultSport I've detailed over the past 3 years, so in familiar territory today with a Glacier White Clio 197 Cup. The car itself looked in great condition, but assessing the paintwork up close, there was a LOT of fallout evident and under...
