Matty, YOU DA MAN!

I'm in the process of getting my car detailed. Not got to the stage of paint correction yet, but the car has been treated to some propper washing with some special products, has been clayed and then a quick polish (well kinda seemed quick to me as I wasn't doing it).

Mine is a Missano red and even after that it came out just stunning, that was nearly a full days cleaning etc, (a third was spent on the wheels though

poor wheels).

When it was done, I just stood looking at it with a warm glow inside. I'm biased cos I own a red, but when it is at its best it is such a stunning colour.

Soon it will have had the full treatment, clean, paint correction, polish, wax and seal. I WILL get some most excellent photos of it at that point and post here for all to see

And back to the main point, Mat, you're a top dude for offering to do all that

and these are big cars too

Mart

Mattler, I would definitely be up for this. I have all the gear but no idea

.

Would love to learn to polish my car. You can choose from doing to a Misano RS6 avant or others.

Based at the bottom of the M11 but would travel to you if that helps?

(I see you work offshore, do you travel out of Aberdeen)?

a rotary in the hands of a inexperienced operator could easily cause damage so as a beginner I would start by learning/using a DA such as http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/polishing ... d_525.html

Rotary polishers are almost a trade on their own, I have used them before but DA polishers are so much safer! The might take a lot longer and require a lot more passes but its worth it knowing that you cant ruin you paint. You would have to be extremely stupid to do damage with a DA polisher but I have seen someone do it before!!

Cheers Jay, I hear what your saying!
My cars paint is in pretty good nick so I think this would do the trick as i don't belive it needs a paint correction but just a really good polish.
