detailer

After much regret I have decided to put my 2005 Renault Clio 182 Trophy #083 up for sale. The reason for this sorry state of affairs is due to me needing a car with a decent size boot for transporting the latest family acquisition our cocker spaniel! This is my third Clio Sport and without...

With our second child due in September, we had to rationalise our cars. First the wife's Civic EP3 Type-R Premier went to be replaced by a 5 door MK5 Golf R32, now my Trophy is being replaced by a Megane RS DCi175. I've owned the car for just over 3.5years covering 44,000 brilliant miles, it...

Heres the write up of the detailing session my good friend Olly (Snow Shine) carried out for me. After having him work on my EK9 before and seeing the results along with his various other clients I knew the car was in safe hands. I really can't recommend him enough and if you're on the South...

Not been on since selling #427 Might get another for next year or possibly another V6.....just can't keep away from them. Just to let you all know I have now left the army after 17 years and set up full time as a detailer working in Ashford. It's going to be very slow, and hope to build up...

Just a quick wash and wax

Anyone used a good detailer in the Midlands (Birmingham, Solihull, Warwickshire area)? I've been thinking about getting a pro detail and sealant to enjoy over the next few years.

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...

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 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...

Has anyone had problems with the paint on the trophy fading due to the sun, ?

My girlfriend is about to purchase a new car, well, used but around the age of my Trophy. I have told her that she has to start looking after this one and it has surfaced the discussion regarding car care. My car was Permaguarded by duffer987 and for the last 2 and a bit years under my wing, I...

Hi Guys, Have decided 263 needs a good detailing as the swirls inflicted on her from the last owners misdeminours are really starting to annoy me! I don't really have an idea what to look for when choosing a detailing company, anybody got any suggestions for ones in Lincolnshire? Cheers Ollie

I used to have a red Fiat Coupe 20VT a few years back. Really fun little thing, didn't handle well but looked good and went pretty quick. BUT: it turned completely pink over two years as the pigment in the paint oxidised (or whatever it does). It was an R-reg and this was in 2002. So I'm...

Can anyone recommend a good detailing firm in the Sevenoaks (west Kent) area? Would rather use someone that has been recommended. Found Valet-Tech in Dunton Green, but has anyone used them at all? 415 needs a good clean, as does the WRX

Had the Trophy cleaned, machine polished and waxed today, it started raining about 2mins after it was finished, crap british weather. Hopefully the rain will stop soon and i can give it a quick wash and take it somewhere to get some decent pics.

Admittedly, I'm being very picky here, but the normal process of wear on the front seats due the seat belt has become irritating over the last couple of weeks. Also on the upper section of the seats, where your shoulders rest, has become slightly worn. Are there any products that can be used...

I have owned a few clio's in the past and have always taken it to the same Renault Specialist near where I live. He has been a Renault specialist for nearly 15 years and he is very clued up on anything French to be honest. Anyway, I've had an oil change from him on the Trophy a few thousand...
