make it easier to get the flies off when you stop to give your car a final once over, just minutes before the grand arrival at Haynes?

But there are no flies on Simon Alex

Ha ha Alex..
Err I had actually thought of doing just that with my "Showroom shine"..
God I am starting to turn into a geek! Can you believe i was looking on a "Detailing Forum" to see which polish got the best reviews..Not to mention Pre polish and Post Polish Polish ..

Wise man,,could not agree more,,,I would hate it if MB washed my car

Quite right Simon. Now imagine how it sounds with the Sport exhaust

BIG mistake - Simon is now 'phoning round'

 

[Dosco]

The horizontal surfaces will always take the greatest ''hammering'' from the elements and require double the attention of the vertical surfaces......road tar excepted.
Given that you have gone to the trouble of claying the car and it is six years old I would consider giving it a polish.
Skip the glaze coat but the seal coat is very worth while before waxing.
One really brilliant product is Chemical Guys New look Trim Gel.....brilliant for tyres but more importantly for ''trim'' generally......''Back to Black'' is rubbish by comparison and the results are longer lasting.

Car looks great.

But Simon said he was exhausted yesterday

Hi Roger..
I remember Malcolm commenting on my Red C270, saying "That would look far nicer if it was clayed"..
Actually I never clayed that car.. I wish I had now !

Now its done I think on reflection (lol) I enjoyed the process.

Sad really but it is a very satisfying job to perform and even more satisfying to the touch a bit like ones first date all smooth and soft to the touch...

 

[Alex M Grieve]

But Simon said he was exhausted yesterday

yesterday he was giving vent. Today he is baffled!

Clearly there are manifold problems?

As long as he can still 'puff' and 'blow' without 'backfiring' all will be well

 

[HelpThisDude]

What a shine
Nice going Simon.

 

[mandrake]

I used bilt hamber clay bar on mine. On eBay for 10.95 plus post, differs from all the other clay bars as the only lub required is water! Results are truly astonishing, just cheaper than buying the bar & the lube, it is well worth doing if you are even the least bit into your car, brings the paint alive!!

 

[BelfastCLK]

looks great - how often do you think you would need to do this?

 

[E320mark]

I did my car in august last year just after I bought it, I think it could do with being done once a year, well for me anyway, depends on mileage road condition etc

 

[television]

Never done mine yet, still as smooth as a babies bottom

 

[BelfastCLK]

My CLK is black and i have tried all sorts of polish to get a good glass-like polish - this may be the answer!
