I got the opportunity to polish a Toyota Vitz, dark blue, gorgeous in the shade. But in the sun, it’s very nicely filled with swirls and scratches.

Which APC are you guys using?

I've been using Adams APC at different dilution ratios, and it seems to work really well.

I also tried clean green, and it doesn't appear to work as well.

Just want to get an idea which ones are any good.]]>

Now, things are a bit worse...right off the showroom floor it picked up paint damage (chips) and one nasty scratch. It is coming back from a panel shop tomorrow and I want to clean her up since no one cares it's new but me. Hammerhead

Do I rush out and buy a Meg's DA polisher, halogen lamp, and all the other goodies? Or do I tackle this by hand? Have a large assortment of Meg's products having chatted to Greg at length 2 years ago...wow, time has flown by.

Most aggressive stuff I have is a Smooth Clay Kit and some Cleaner Wax...I also own a Karcher 5.68 but don't have a foam lance...yet. Have the usual collection like Nxt shampoo, Tech Wax, Quick Detail Spray, Quick Wax spray, Endurance Tyre Gel, glass cleaner, interior foam, interior quick detail spray, leather foam, etc etc.

Any tips would be appreciated...otherwise I pay one of the pros a visit. Clap

So after a long lay off with my shoulder I finally got back to some hard work
The car in question belongs to a BMWfanatic member and he asked me last year to detail his car .. So this weekend I eventually got around to it

White cars must be the most unrewarding cars and the most difficult to correct by a long shot. So I hope I did this car some justice

The car arrived just before 8am on Saturday. It was pretty grubby and had the performance stripes The owner requested that i remove the stripes

This was 20hrs worth of work and the interior was also cleaned and rejuvenated

Here are some before Pics

It's cyclone here in Mauritius. so I've got some time till the cyclone leaves our small island. I completed this ride on the 26th December last year but struggled to find some time to post.

This is my friend’s Toyota Camy, the one I partly detailed 8 months ago. My friend was on tour to Reunion Island, and it was the opportunity to work with his ride.

The passenger’s side remained to be polished. But ultimately the whole car got detailed.

So here we are:

Take a picture of your favourite part or panel of your car that, when she/he is all nice and clean, the reflections are just something special to you.

The rear quarter panel and the C-pillar. A curved surface that bends the reflections in such a way that just looks awesome to me.

So being a awesome day and a public holiday to make it even better
I decided i was going to wash my car and give the CG Black light a go

Needless to say it didnt just end with a wash and product application

I foamed the car down using my trusty foam lance and removed the lSP etc etc

[Image: IMG-20111216-00185.jpg]

I then felt the bonnet and it was pretty grubby to say the least
so I ended up claying the car down
washed and dried the car again and used the "light of truth" on the new girl

I sent these cruddy Blackberry pics off to Stax ( BIIIG Mistake )
he sends me a message back - " Why is that paint hazy?"
Now i know it wasnt great myself - The car has never been polished and i like it that way, On the other hand i was itching to give the paint some tlc to get the gloss back

so out came the Festool on a yellow 3m Pad and Menz FA
(After Pics)

Took me about 1hr to give the car a once over

So being a awesome day and a public holiday to make it even better
I decided i was going to wash my car and give the CG Black light a go

Needless to say it didnt just end with a wash and product application

I foamed the car down using my trusty foam lance and removed the lSP etc etc

I then felt the bonnet and it was pretty grubby to say the least
so I ended up claying the car down
washed and dried the car again and used the "light of truth" on the new girl

I sent these cruddy Blackberry pics off to Stax ( BIIIG Mistake )
he sends me a message back - " Why is that paint hazy?"
Now i know it wasnt great myself - The car has never been polished and i like it that way, On the other hand i was itching to give the paint some tlc to get the gloss back

so out came the Festool on a yellow 3m Pad and Menz FA

As I will be using this car Next week to the coast due to my accident on Monday, I decided it needs a good clean before then.

The paint is in fairly good condition (car has only 17K km's) so I wont be doing any paint correction (Also because I dont have the correct tools for this yet & My Bionic arms have not arrived yet).

I will start with the Usual, 2BM TDM wash, Engine spray down, Clay, then wash again, then I will apply Either colli #845 or #476 - Have not decided yet..Also might try the colli on the wheels

for the rubber door seals I will use 303 & for the Other Black bits I will use CG's All Guard O- New Car Shine Dressing and for the tires I will use Smart Dressing

Then on Thursday I will do the Interior.. Which will involve a wipe down with a weak APC solution & application of the CG's All Guard O- New Car Shine Dressing.

Pictures will follow tomorrow afternoon/evening]]>
