Today I did some detailing...

After a fallow period of cars I could be bothered detailing I am back baby.....
Was in good nick after a long search for one that was low milage and without the interior trim issues that plague the 997. Some stone chips on the font but nothing worth getting resprayed about. Minimal dents. Clear bra intact on sills and arches.
This weekend I gave it a good prewash to remove any old protection. Good wash and clay and sealant. I will work on the panels one by one to remove the swirls. No too bad for a black car, previous owner was not a big washer of the car so not too many swirls. Interior is pristine. Will update as I get the paint in shape.0 -

Over the last two days I done a bit with the e39 that I just bought.
- De-tarred.
- Clayed.
I gave it a good run with an orange Hexlogic pad and Menzerna FG300, that's my most potent mashup. I tried lesser but was getting nowhere really.
I had time constraints so I will visit it again, it's 90% better!
I done a couple of passes on a black Hexlogic and with Menzerna SF4000.
Maybe this is overkill on my paint but I am always afraid of leaving a haze from the previous cutting pad.
Anyway, I sealed it with Collinite 845 as usual and here is the result!
NCT is tomorrow and I cannot see a reason it won't pass!0 -

She looks fairly clean!
Mines a 525i, with 131k on it, black on black!
Yeah, they are going for small money - thats the problem....kind of in two minds to change until you see what you'd get for it!
I honestly felt like I was robbing the man to be honest, broke his heart to let it go!
All your posting and I don't think I ever seen a photo of it Curran

Fitzgeme, that car is stunning. Congratulations and best of luck with her.
I didn't want to post without adding some detailing chat, and almost forgot I did this today. Some prick a while back hit my mother's car in a car park and she came back to find it like this with no details left behind. Really pissed me off people doing crap like that. Here's how it was left:
Only got around to it today with the DA and it's like 99% back to how it was. The scratch is gone and there is only a slight dimple left on the wheel arch. She's delighted now as it was annoying her more than she was letting on I'd say. Iv no after picture but will take one next time I get a chance.0 -

It's been a long time since I was in here. The GTI certainly hasn't gotten half the love I spent on the E90, but I've enjoyed not worrying about it half as much , at least to an extent. I reckon the car has never been properly corrected in its life, so not worried too much about proper technique for the meantime until that happens. I did go over it recently with SRP, a couple of coats of AG HD and have been keeping on top of it since with Auto Finesse's Glisten. It's far from perfect, but has good gloss the panels are straight which is most important. I am looking forward to seeing it full corrected though...
