ECLIPSE AUTO VALET

thats the advantage of good forums at least you get a good cross section of advice . but for the cheap companys all they do is make the likes of me and nick and others have to justify our prices , which if im ever compared to these people i just tell them to go ahead , my prices are for my level of skill and time , its funny but in other businesses if something is cheap most people dont think they get value for money and would rather pay more

£22.50p each , time they pay the tax /NI/ fuel to get to you , cant see them making a living , didnt they not clay the car , if it was filthy and neglected , would of needed it in my opinion. but i am a fussy sod

personally £45 way to cheap for a full valet , £70 ish would be more like it for that if it was me doing it youd get pre soak snow foam washed TBM sheepkin mitt alloys cleaned (non acidic) tyres dressed dried clayed sealant option on wax interior vac all trim cleaned and dressed mats cleaned any smallish stains removed , but the likes of dog hair or heavy soiling would be extra glass in and out rough time taken 4 hours with quality detailing products hope this will give you a better idea , and if he can do all that for £45 good luck to him

always do mine by hand in the sink , bit of washing up liquid and warm water , rinse with clean water squeeze out i normally place one at a time in a towel and press down hard to get out as much water as poss then just leave to dry. then every couple of jobs ill soak them in a bucket with a proper pad cleaning product dont want to contradict any reply really , but as a point each bit of your detailing gear should be kept and washed separately. i spend ages after a full detail getting all the drying towels ,mfs, pads, washed, all separatlely

yes it was, sills were a bit fiddly as so low down but the rest was a breeze

thanks steve , whos doing the paint job ?

thanks paul nice to have an easy one for a change , great work on the TT

hi guys here you go steve mate. not to many befores as it was P ing down , car was not to bad just slightly dirty. ok citrus degreaser and tfr all round lower panels arches and wheels , snowfoamed , jetted off , then washed tbm sonax gloss shampoo , once washed, dried using cobra guzzler towels and moved inside for claying , paint was very clean , then set up for machining condition was ok just slight swirling , so no heavy compounding needed on this thank god . dodo lime prime , and 3m ultrafina did the trick , a few scratches i foumd and a bit of bird etching , 3m fast cut + sorted them out . sealant was duragloss 111 followed by sonax premium carnauba wax pics of finished car thanks for looking peter

not that interesting lol , its just a product that helps making washing the car easier by loosening contaminates that build up on the car , then when after the pre wash and snow foam , your not going at the paintwork to hard with the mitt to get it clean , and as the nissan paint is soft your less chance of marking the paintwork in the wash stage

sorry Traffic Film Remover , Pressure Washer. tyre shine only on the outside of the tyres not on the tread

i use a mix of tfr and degreaser when i do the pre wash , pump spray , that helps loosen the crap , then PW up under the arches , sometimes ill get a jack and lift the corner to get better access , small brushes and a bit of patience , once its clean my tyres shine is duel purpose and acts as an arch dressing

good try , but finish it off , wheel arches tyre shine all adds to doing a job properly especially if your charging

ive got both in my van as i need something stronger for the cars that have never had the alloys cleaned but no need to worry about damaging them as mostare foooked to start with . but for anything decent its non acidic everytime, dont forget you can dilute it down

this is what you need , good garden centre should have them , external thread tap connector http://www.raygrahams.com/catalog/produ ... ucts_id=66
