What a bugger paint to polish. As I live in Belgium, the PC is not available so I bought a rotary polisher from FLEX, http://www.flex-tools.de/en/prod/detail.php?id=182. I actually mailed to PC and they gave me this company that also sells in Europe (and has 220 v tools...) I used the DAS...

Here in Belgium, the PC7424 is not available. But the local bodyshop has a sort of look-a-like... It's just that when turning the machine on, with the pad an all in place at 1000 rpm or so, you just can hold the pad and it doesn't move, only oscilliating. Is this also with the PC, or will...

Live from the country of waffles and beer, also french fries, chocolate and crazy clubs !!! Are there some fellow Belgians online here ? Wally

Just a stupid tought... : If you have a rotary polisher, why can't you put the pad a litlle out of center, then you have a dual action (rotary and orbital) movement for free.... Or am I wrong here...

I found some rotary polishers here, they all have a thread of 14MM on the axle. What sort of backing plate and pads do I have to order then (In US size...)

I'm looking for a PC here in Belgium, but most people fall down as soon as I speak about polishing cars so no luck here. Is there any shop/memeber that is able to send me over the right PC with velcro pads and so ? Thanks in advance...

Every time I clean my wheels (and there is a LOT of dust.... especially after a track-day, :D ), I use MC2 wheel cleaner. It's an orange based degreaser and it works pretty well. No chemical residu, discolourisation or ruined finish. But it will strip off the wax, so what's best used to...

Hi all, I read this forum now for quite a while, but it was time that post a thread from my own. Detailing in Belgium is not very known, people use their car to drive from A to B without taking care of it. Most cars here are scattered with road grime, scratches, dents and bruses. Only a...

What do you guy's do when a dashboard panel has lights scratches ? Or a roof-liner or black/chrome window liner that has minor scratches or water spots on it ? Also stone chips and litlle scufs that are occuring on the car ? Are there any special tricks to cover them up ? Not all damage...

Finally it's getting warmer in Europe, time to unpack the goods and start cleaning. I got a Master collection from Swissol as a Christmas present from the girl and here is the result. It's all hand-work, no pc or respray's :p Starting with clay-bar, cleaning fluid and finally Samurai...

What do you guys think of Swissol. Appearantly, it looks very expensive but in the truth it isn't !!!! I ordered a set a while ago and frmo then off, I washed/cleaned/waxed my car 3 times, did the neighboors car and another one, that means 5 in total and the kit looks like it's just been...

After the wetsanding, do you really need a machine polisher do bring back the gloss ? Or can you do it with "hand-force"? I don't like machine polishers because I'm afraid to ruin the paintwork... Wally

How can you remove scratches in the plastics of a dashboard. With my car, a Subaru Impreza, I have some scratches around the centre console, where the hand-brake is. Some people told me to use the plastic side of a srcewdriver and rub until the scratch dissapear, :o How do the...

Hello folks, Looks like I found the right place to ask the right questions about car detailing. Driving around in my Impreza, mostly on circuit, takes it's toll on the car. Altough under the bonnet it's already "prepared" to take the abuse, I'm now in the right place to maintain the shiny...
