haha mate, I'm going to introduce you to a 3 letter word known as 'tar'. absolute pain in the f**king arse! haha. you have no idea how easy you have it :drool:

out of interest, which products have you used to get a shine like that?

Oh, I have plenty of tar spots, you just can't see em :laugh:

Actually it really could do with claying, lots of tar spots on lower areas.

Detailing wise I keep it really simple.  These pics were taken after just a good wash and wax, using Dodo Juice Supernatural Hybrid, which I find gives great mirror shine.    For a deeper glossy look, I sometimes opt for Colloinite 915 or Chemical Guys Butter Wet Wax for super wet look, but I'm a product tart so will try anything once.


You'll love this.....................I haven't yet personally washed my car since picking her up from new in Aug 2010..............let the abuse commence......... :cry:

 :shocked:  so which mug cleans it then?

Booth your car looks stunning, great effort  :cool:

Waxed our car this morning and I can only dream of reflection shots like that with Candy White, looked good but the black is on another level.

Thanks guys  :smiley:

It goes into body shop for repairs and wheel alignment tommorow so will be without it for a week  :cry:   

Let's hope it comes back looking as good as it went in!
