wax

Been meaning to get it done for ages, really pleased.

Due to a change in financial circumstances :( I'm taking the rather hard decision to suspend my insurance policy (a huge cost for me being 20) and lay #110 up until maybe spring or early summer next year. That way I'll be saved from renewing my insurance again in June as I can potentially...

I have always enjoyed washing/detailing my car and friends by means of just a wash, clay bar and then a wax. However 'gib172' put his dual action polisher up for sale on here and i thought ill take it the car cleaning a stage further and purchased it. Anyway here's my first attempt... Looked...

Gave the clio a clean today, looks as if the zymol wax is keeping a nice deep glossy shine Some may have seen when I had the timing done that I gave the sachs dampers a quick clean over, well I decided the full arch should be done, especially with the bad weather right around the corner, I felt...

Hi, Just after the best product/ways to remove soot build up on my exhaust. Im running a Yozzasport so its quite noticeable, it hasn't been on the car long and makes it look really old. Builds up quick too! Any good exhaust cleaners anyone know of? or is it just a load of elbow grease? Thanks.

What's the best way for removing spot welded flies and moths from the bumper and bonnet? Is there a product someone can recommend that loosens them up so i can get them off without scrubbing and risking putting surface marks on the paint. I've never known how to get them off properly and just...

Sold 283 in june after only 10days of advertising on here and pistonheads. So I then had a 3 month wait for this!!

I plan on doing an arch detail on the trophy soon and plan on giving the Sach's a scrub up aswell Is there anything I should be aware of before I set out? Also is there anything I can use to protect the seals etc from failing

Hello to the 55 plate Trophy on the way into Manchester this morning on the M602 :D

Briefly introduced myself in the newbies section last week. A week down on the ownership of No 427 and all is good. However someone has attempted to machine polish the car before me owning it and has made a right mess of the paint work, holograms and swirls all over the place. Marks left...

I know its a bit mad but over the weekend I had the t detailed by paul dalton aka miracle detail. I cant post any pics (to stupid with computers) but what a job. The t looks fantastic and the wax applied was his crystal rock. The t had paint correction as had water type marks that I could not...

Just picked it up yestersday, it involved a lift to the airport from my dad at an unholy hour, a flight from newcastle to gatwick, my mate picked me up from the airport and gave me a lift to brighton then i drove the 376 miles home in it! If you'd seen it up for sale you'll have seen it had...

Hi guys, Just wanted to get an idea of which would be best for the T. Have had a good look on detailing world but would appreciate some of your advice. Dont want to spend a fortune on wax or sealant and a clay bar but would be interested to see what products people are using and what they...

Sun was out this morning so took opportunity to take some pictures of the car.

Fe***ng feathery gitty gits!!! Rant.....rave.....moan..... Sorry guys, came home to find two almighty weapons grade taliban bird droppings on my car, one on the roof and one one the passenger wing, had a massive fight with them but won the end though not without sustaining damage. The one on...

hi everyone, just after some help/advice really with regards to cleaning. after the t was purchased it was taken to a professional valeter as I could not clean the car because it had traindust(?) all over. When it came back the results were good. it has since had quite an extensive clean and...

After what seems like a relatively short spell with the Trophy (13 months), I have decided to let her go to a new home. Reason for selling is that I now also have a 205 gti-6, so I need something a bit bigger and a bit more refined as there is no need to have 2 cars of similar performance and...

Has anyone thought about doing this to match the rest of the plastic interior?

after spending £100 last year on better gear, moving to meguirs, i've now discovered the internet's detailing world and spent another £100 on more clobber that you can't buy in Halfords! Bad on my finances but the T will benefit tremendously! Meguiars Lambswool Wash Mitt Eurow - Shag Pile...

Am wanting to spend a day on 007 in the next few weeks, a kind of 'spring clean' that i put all of my car through in Feb/March, especially now the roads seem a bit tidier after all the kacky weather. I valeted professionally for 6 years, but that was about 5 years ago now so i am a bit out of...

It was a lovely day today. So the car got a wash - but the new aqua dry is rubbish. I've always used Auto Glymm aqua dry but it seems to be made of a different material and they've put holes in it too. It's nowhere near as absorbent as it used to be requiring me to go over a panel 3 times and...

Are people worried about the corrosive damage all the grit is causing to there dampers? Seen as though they are spraying literally tons of pot ash. Doesn't it help if the dampers are covered in lots of grease after they are rebuilt? Grit damages all cars anyways doesn't it. Can't imagine that...
