  2. Machine Polishing
    Hi, I'm looking to machine polish my new BMW in the next couple of months. I've had a brief look at the paint work using a torch and haven't seen many, if any, swirls or defects. I'm going to put down some Cquartz 3.0 UK so think it would benefit from a polish before hand. So I wanted to ask...
  3. Projects and Restorations
    It's been a while, but I thought I'd somewhat document what I've been up to since my last thread. Long story short, my other E30 had a lot of rust; I debated what to do with it for a while, in the end I sent it to have new arches and a new rear panel welded on. Unfortunately, the company that...
  4. Projects and Restorations
    Quick back story before I get onto the '36, long time lurker of this forum and many others. However, last few cars I've had have been 2 Fiesta ST's, 1 x ST150 then 1 x ST180, were never really project thread worthy as I didn't do loads. The ST150 had a few mountune bits, lowering springs etc...

  6. Detailing Chat
    Hi, Car is BMW F30 with rather thin and hard paint (Melbourne Red). Paint is factory on all panels in average condition. Have managed to shine it up a bit with one step quick polishing but still have deeper scratches. Used rather soft 4CR foam pads (green and light blue). (Pic in attachment...
  7. Interior & Glass
    When I bought my BMW Z4 in January there was, what looked like, dirt on the passenger seat. It hadn't been valeted very well. I tried to clean it off but it doesnt budge and it seems to be spreading. I think it may be a mould of some sort and really don't know what to do. Any advice would be...

  9. Pre-wash stages: Washing, Drying, Clay & Detailing
    I had the Hydrosilex Recharge delivered a couple of weeks ago, and today was really the first chance that I have had to try it out. There are two ways to apply it. 1. Wet - Wash the car, then spray over the panel and use either a hose or pressure washer to rinse the panel off. 2. Dry -...
  10. The Motoring Zone
    So, having owned and loved three AMG Mercs, I thought it was time for a change. I had a shortlist of two (very different!) cars within my price bracket: Maserati GT, and BMW M6. Don't ask me how I came to arrive at that - but after months of agonising searching on Autotrader and watching YouTube...

  12. Interior & Glass
    Purchased some gloss black interior trim for my dad's E92 M3, and I was wondering if there's any product like ceramic coat that would help provide resistance to scratches when being cleaned. As my mum's car has the same gloss black plastic trim and over time (through others not using my nice...
  13. Projects and Restorations
    About time I started this thread, I've had the car a couple of months now - still not driven it, but we'll get to that. I'll start at the beginning. I had been toying of the idea of buying a new daily, I've never been that interested in Clios and with my 106 still not completed, I wanted...
  14. Interior & Glass
    I'm asking this out of interest not for advice as I already know lol. Just seem to be getting a lot of them lately. Today's car is a 2013 Mini Countryman caked in it. Baby wipes didn't touch it, apc helped but this time it was citrus pre wash/bug remover. Straight onto an M4 (I detail and...

  16. Polish/Cleaners/Compounds/Glaze
    I been trying to do some correction on a white bmw. I have a das pro da. I started with Chemical Guys orange pad with Meguiar's 205 which didn't do much. Then tried Meguiar's 105 which was little better but not enough. So I then tried Meguiar's xtra-cut microfibre pad with 105, was looking...
  17. Waxes, Sealants & Paint Protection
    Brought a car but it has never been detailed. So I polished the rear bumper and waxed it with Bilt Hamber Double Speed. It's a white bmw. So the part I waxed seems to get dirty than the parts that have not been polished or waxed. Any other products that would be better for the rest of the car.
  18. Waxes, Sealants & Paint Protection
    Hi, my white bmw gt is going in for a respray soon due to previous owner. Wanted to know what could I use to protect the new paint work ... The bodyshop said after dried, he will be polishing it with Meguiar's 205. Would Gtechniq exo or c1 be the best protection without being way to expensive...
  19. Interior & Glass

  20. Waxes, Sealants & Paint Protection
    I am thinking of getting a bottle of Kamikaze ISM. I have seen some great reviews and am leaning towards this product because of the ease of application (no VOC's etc), and the fact it looks great on a dark metallic colour (BMW Imperial Blue). As per the title, I have a bottle of EXO-v3 and I...
