SOoooooo much hard work and effort. I'd be nervous to drive it anywhere! I'd put like 100 layers of wax over the top of it!

Post by: RussZS on 18 December 2011, 23:51: Yeah I need to get some wax on it tbh!

What do you think? Desire or Crystal Rock? I want to put C1 on it, but it's a bit too nippy...

Post by: scarr89 on 18 December 2011, 23:59: Oh sh!t, its your ride is it Russ? My days mate, hats off to ya. Really great work.

TBH never heard anything on those 2 waxes...I think I am nearer the bottom of the detailing ladder, ie DJ/megs :lipsrsealed:

However after a quick google will you be using this : http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/swissvax-crystal-rock.html, if so for 800 smackers I hope it would be like f**king rock once applied!

Post by: RussZS on 19 December 2011, 00:26: I will be offering it as a service, but not until I have a few more cars successfully under my belt!

I think Kelly charges £1500+, but I'll be a fair bit cheaper. It takes a good 5 days to do properly I'd say, depending on the size of car, severity and hardness of the clearcoat!

The training costs £500 per day!!

Post by: mumbles on 19 December 2011, 09:21: Amazing results mate! Looks great! :cool:

Was also surprised how much the compound removed compared to the sanding! :shocked:

The training looks well worth it for that price, especially if you can make the money back by only doing a couple of cars!

Haha indeed, my bum was twitching at that point, but I knew how good it'd look so was happy to carry on.

Post by: smiffy555 on 13 February 2012, 10:30: Just a quick question.

Is it safe to do this to cars that are 22yrs old? I ask because the paint itself is old and perhaps 'thin' after many years of abuse.....maybe a daft question but hey-ho?
