    750BHP Nissan R35 GTR - Zaino Top Up and Protection Film Correction

    I recently detailed this Nissan R35 GTR here: http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=253296 It has since had a protection film added to it to protect its front end from stone chips but the owner wasn't happy with some of the marks in the film so asked me to take a look at...

    Sneak peek - new Auto Finesse 'Glaze' and 'DA Sealant'...

    James very kindly sent me some samples of a couple of forthcoming products, a new Glaze for darker colours, and a sealant best applied via DA. A fellow DW Member asked me if I could give his Jeep a quick spruce up this evening, so we literally spent around 2 hours washing it down then going...

    New £40 Wax 'champion'...?

    Thanks all :) This car has since been into Audi for new brakes and they TFR'd it, so the CR has died! I had it back in tonight briefly to pop some more protection on to it - this time using the new Britemax Vantage wax. I'm impressed to say the least! DSC04464 by RussZS, on Flickr...

    Liquid Yellow RenaultSport Clio V6 - Crystal Rock/Zaino Z2 Enhancement Detail!

    I've been looking forward to this one for a LONG time! The owner, a DW member, contacted me late last year to get booked in for one of my ever popular single day Enhancement Details. The car itself is a huge personal favourite of mine - I've loved the V6 ever since it was released on Ph1...

    Correction Detail - BMW 1M

    Well today was supposed to see me getting my hands on an Oyster Grey RenaultSport Megane 250, but there was a change of plan as a new car was being put in its slot by my customer. All I was told was that it was German and 1 of only 450 in Europe... surely not... a 1M!!! It was love at...

    Enhancement Detail - 380bhp Ford Sierra Cossie

    I've been looking forward to this one for a while - ever since I met the owner late last year at a photoshoot. This beast is running about 380bhp and is in superb condition, but was suffering from severe fallout and quite a lot of swirling and hologramming so it was booked in for an MCC...

    Seat Leon FR TDI BTCC Correction Detail Round 1 - Auto Finesse Desire and Mercury...

    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...

    AutoSport International - Auto Finesse Sneak Peek...

    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...

    It's a bit worrying when you start wet sanding your car...

    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...

    VW Mk6 Golf R in White presented in Auto Finesse DESIRE

    It sure is getting nippy out there, but at least the snow hasn't descended upon the Midlands just yet, unlike this time last year! This morning saw me travelling across to Norton Canes, near Cannock, Staffs, to cleanse and protect this sexy Golf R in Candy White ahead of its imminent sale...

    Correction Detail - Mk2 Octavia vRS in Black Magic

    Unfortunately this isn't a full write up (yet) as I have misplaced the memory card with the first part of the detail on (washing stages), so I only have a few pics of the correction work and a few quick 'afters' to show people how Desire looks on black. Please excuse the current state of my...

    Enhancement Detail - Megane R26.R with Zaino!

    Today saw me travel to a sunny but chilly Shrewsbury to Lee@BespokeCarCare's unit, to meet my mate Dale and spend some time giving his recently acquired R26.R some love ahead of it being put to bed for Winter. The aim of the day was to restore a bit of life into the paint and lay down some...

    Ford Fiesta Super Sport 1.3 - Enhancement Detail finished with Auto Finesse Spirit

    Today saw me travel to a very cold Cradley Heath to restore a bit of life into the paint on this very rare, Fiesta Super Sport 1300. The car itself is in superb condition, but has been re-painted quite recently and was covered in holograms and swirl marks. It's being exhibited at the Classic...

    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

    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...
