Good work on the CTR Joe but you really do look like a Homosexual Mancunion. :lol:

Thanks Scouse, it was a hot day

 

[Rcb]

You sunburnt Joe? My neck and arms are red as ****!

 

[Rcb]

Absolutely typical, a bird came along and **** on my car, now this was no ordinary bird, judging from it's **** this bird must have been the size of a flying tank!! I have no pics of the incident, but do have pics after a very quick hose down

And a quick vid, need a decent video recorder, the sound has come out crap!

Great work there Joe.

I hear your drive is where all the cool Type-R's end up at some point

 

[ImportR]

impressive work there mate...i'll have to pull my finger out and try detailing my NHB....swirls all over it

 

[^Joe]

:lol: cheers

You can park yours on my drive anytime

 

[Extreme Detailing]

Good work Joe, pity you are not near to me I could do with some help on some of my projects.

 

[ALCTR]

just curious to know how you got rid of those swirls mate??
ive got a few on mine but struggling to get rid
be really grateful if you could give me a tip!!!

 

[^Joe]

Do you have a machine polisher? And the skills? Not a jibe, just a question.
Or are you working by hand?

 

[rossy t]

great work joe. from memory i think you charge very reasonable fees for this kind of work too. if ever i get a car that i care about in the future your services could be called upon.

 

[^Joe]

cheers mate

 

[ALCTR]

i have a machine polisher but i havent used it yet! i have the basic understanding of how to use it though, any tip you have would be gratfully appreciated! however if im likely to cause damage by doing that then i can do it by hand.
i have alot of autoglym products but once again, im not entirely sure which to apply or what exactly to use?

if only you lived closer then i would be hoping to acquire your services as the job you done before is immaculate haha

 

[^Joe]

Which machine polisher, and pads mate?

 

[ALCTR]

its just one from halfords mate, not sure what pads i have because im at work just now but ill double check tonight when i get back and let you know!

 

[^Joe]

Those small rotary things won't successfully remove swirls without marring the paint, and propably causing more damage.

You need a decent rotary, or DA polisher. Kingdom tools, cleanyourcar, i4detailing etc all sell them.

If working by hand, Autoglym SRP will do a fairly good job of filling the swirls, but it is only temporary.
