  1. i love the ones with images on the top but i've always had them knicked. these are the first i've had that have never gone anywhere.
  2. companies need something to sponsor; something thats worthwhile putting a name to. start to build a reputation, then the sponsors will be easier to secure. you never know you might be lucky and get someoen to sponsor you now, but i think it unlikely. best of luck with the new hobby
  3. looks like i'm gonna get some black hole from poor boys then. don't know what they washed it with before me but i'm sure it involved sand paper and grit. i will eventually get it to prisitine, but it will take a couple of goes. the swirlx worked well, but just couldn't cope with the bonnet. will i need to remove all the wax again before putting the black hole on,

  15. totally agree, complete swirl removal is my primary goal, to be honest they are only really left on the bonnet, the rest of the car is almost clear.
  16. I got my S2k nearly 4 weeks ago, but i haven't had time till this weekend to really give it a full clean. the car has been really well maintained and washed on a regular basis; sadly the previous owner didn't know much about car care and the paint was very badly swirled; not only that but the garage i bought it from had given it a go over with a machine buffer, and i could see exaclty where they had been. so todays job was to try and restore the paint as much as possible and give the car back some shine. TIME TAKEN:6 Hours PRODUCTS USED AND THE ORDER USED: - Renovo vinyl roof cleaner sponged on - renovo vinyl roof protector sponged on - megs nxt car shampoo with lambs wool mit - megs claybar and DODO born slippy - megs swirl x - DODO lime and prime lite - DODO supernatural wax - DODO red mist - PIAA screen Cleaner - PIAA Screen Protectant - Megs tyre gel - poor boys leather care I tried to take some pictures to show how bad the swirls were and how dirty it had got. i had already done the roof before i rememebered the camera, so sadly you cant see the improvement the renovo made to the roof, but it is extrememly good stuff. the worst swirled areas on the car were the rear boot and the bonnet. as you can see there are some small wear patches on the roof, but on the whole doesn;t look bad for an 8 year old roof these pictures were all after the first wash and clay; as you can see the the paint still needs some work. .... the finished article with some reflection shots to show how clean the paint work is now. as you can see there is some swirling still left but alot less than before My new investment of PIAA wiper Blades; these things worked wonders with my Zed so i had to get them for the S2K, have also moved on from Rainex and have just put on my first coats of PIAA fluids. must admit it was far easier to apply and buff clean than the rainx. look forward to seeing how well it all works. ... overall i have been really impressed with the finish and it has made a mssive difference to the finish of the car. the boot has come up fantastic and there are no more swirls what so ever, the bonnet on the other hand is miles better but still needs some more work, i might have to go and see a professional to get it properly machine polished. but the swirls are alot better. the super natural wax is as always awesome, its the first time i've used to on a dark colour and was unsure how well it would work but have to say its payed for its self.
  17. the last one with the hat on was good, and the lost poster was spot on.
  18. in my old zed if you lifted the boot mat up it had a secret portal to narnia hidden there. is that normal?
  19. dodo redmist all the way
  20. i never say detailing, if any one asks i always say; i'm off to clean the car; as thats exactly what i'm doing
  21. when i had my zed it only got the full works i.e a clay and polish twice a year. the rest of the time was wash surface prep and wax. i do more than any polish car wash would do and i use far superior products. in my mind it fits the current "buzz" word of "detailing" as said above detailing is washing and cleaning a car while taking car of the small "details" at the end of the day regardless of how well or how much effort you put into it or what you choose to call it; it is just washing the car; nothing more; nothing less.
  22. shame to see another good soldier go to waste; touching tribute RIP
