Over the past few weekends i have been working on getting my car ready for a few shows due in the coming weeks.The cars arches have never been cleaned so thought i would start with them.Using Megs APC diluted aprox 4/1, then on wit a power washer, some more Meg APC and then a cotton terry towel...

Had my car out for a while a few weeks ago ( off road due to winter conditions here). I was really bored so thought i would give her a little mid winter detail while she was in the garage. Here are a few shots that i quite like..Car is a 1995 and some of you guys will know that Skylines are...

Im in one of those experimenting moods at the moment, looking for a nice deep but also wet look to my paint.The problem i have is the car is SILVER( nightmare ). Over the past few months i have been trying various combos etc like--Vannila mouse, EXP,Nattys--GEPC and P21S, SSR1 and PO85RD.I do...

Im looking at using Menzerna PO85RD for the first time.I will use a polishing pad...This will get rid of the minor swirls..Here is my question---can i use SSR1 on a finishing pad after this as i like the effect SSR1 has.I will be going over with EX-P and Nattys afterwards...So is it worth going...

What speed should i be using the Menzerna on my PC 7424.I know it would be even better with a rotary but i only have the PC at the moment.Im using the Edge DA pads--what pad would be best suited to the Menzerna considering my paint has little or no spider ebbing or hazing etc..

Idont know if i have posted these pics before of my cars, here goes anyway.. Mitsubishi FTO, bought as standard and heavily modified by myself.. Paint is PPG Harlequin Green to Purple Let me know your thoughts on either car..Cheers... My new car is this Nissan Skyline R33 GTR...

Have a look at a pic of my Skyline R33 GTR.Im striving for the same sort of finish as i had last year but cant seem to get it again even after using the same products--WHY. I stripped the wax back using some Megs all purpose cleaner dilluted with 20 parts water.I then used some SSR1 on a...

Do you guys dampen your pads when using to apply wax/sealants with the pc.I have The Edge pads and like to keep them damp when applying sealants etc. I usually dampen the pads about 3-4 times doing a full family sized car. So do you guys do the same and what benefits do you see.

Has anyone been using the above pads. I have bought a full set and an extra fine polishing pad. First impressions are of very good quality.Still not tried them yet but very simple on/off, just press a button and turn the pad over and start using the other side ( double sided pads ). These must...

Folks im trying to get the best possible finish on my R33 GTR Skyline. Im trying to get a deeper wetter look to the car. It pretty good at the moment but im seeking better. My current routine is basically VM, EX-Px2 and Nattys x2. I use Bold N Bright on the tyres now.This gives my a very nice...

A friend has asked me to purchase a Porter Cable 7424 and some pads after he saw mine in action.I told him to search for the best price but has asked me to do it for him.Basically im trying to find him a 7424,a mixture of Edge DA 2000 pads, a few bonnets, quick release adaptor for the Edge...

Hi folks. I joined a little while ago but havent posted yet as i was doing the siting back and reading routine but i think its time i contributed to this forum. I come from rainy, wet, damp and cold Scotland and at the moment i drive a Nissan Skyline GTR V-spec model with around 400bhp but...

Whats better--the 7336sp porter cable or 7424.About to buy and am not sure which one would best suited to my needs.Anyone with strong opinions on either of these. Need to know if its easy to get pads backing plates etc for both or is one more popular than the other.

Have detailed my car last weekend but as the wifes car is undergoing a rebuild its been in the garage where my car usually redides.We have has terrible rain, wind etc and reorts of heavy mud slides all over Scotland ( to give you an idea of the poor weather ). My question is--can i use VM, EX...

I have just picked up a 1995 Nissan Skyline GTR V-Spec. The car is very clean for its age and no real mars at all, no swirls although i suspec that any marks were taken out buy the garage i bought the car from.I have been using various items to clean it today. Unfortunately the weather took a...
