After seeing a good write up in this month's Sprint, I am looking to get a detail done on my Griffith.

Any reccomendations on Detail My Ride?

Thanks

Do it your self or pay someone to do it?

I do all the polishing but not brave enough to use the machine with the likes of the G3 products the good detailers use yet i will be buying my own machine soon and having a go on my old volvo first before i go near the chim, but a good clay bar and good polish then wax can make your car really shine, this is a pic of mine after about 10 hours worth of deatiling myself. for a show last year.



Then just a pic of when it was only clean and washed





you can see the diffrence it can make the best one i have seen in age's is the LS cerb on here when it was at the PH show it is spotless after its detail, there was a thread running a few weeks ago on it.

Good info on it here too

Really nice stuff to work with. I've been using it for over two years now and it's all I use now. Seriously recommend the Supernatural wax, looks expensive but if you apply it with your fingers it goes on brilliantly.

Well waiting on bad weather offshore and E-bay makes for a sore wallet, Bought up some dodo jucie products should be waiting at home for me when i get back in a couple of weeks or so, Spent a lot of time on Detailing world too really good fourm now thinking about getting a DA and get serious polishing, think i have OCD. laugh


I must be sad i cant wait to clean and polish the car biggrin
