dan_189 Posted 8December, 2017 Report Share Posted 8December, 2017 I recently bought the Meguires lambswool washing mitt to use with the two bucket method, seems to work quite well. Next expenditure will be a snow foam lance and a beginners detailing course for some additional hands on learning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thommo66 Posted 18December, 2017 Report Share Posted 18December, 2017 On similar thread I am looking for advice please following an encounter on Sunday travelling on Geelong/Melb road with a car in front of me that kicked up a big sheet of plaster board that some bas*%#d had obviously not tied down properly on their load and hit the front of my turbo. It shattered on impact with front grill mainly on right hand side of car as you can see from this photo. No real damage to the paint work and certainly no dents ( or dints if your'e a Kiwi ) ... but looks like it needs at very least to be buffed out after I have given it a good clean since. Hopefully nothing more but could be some minor chip damage as well. Any recommendations would be great with any similar experiences. I am Melb based. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavn Posted 19December, 2017 Report Share Posted 19December, 2017 I've used Dan from Dan's Garage Detailing (http://dansgaragedetailing.com) on a few occasions & been very happy with his work. Having said that, I know there's a pfa member with a detailing business (JB I'd guess from above). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a guy who does my stone chips and he is the hail damage and door dent removal guru but when I asked him about detailing he suggested for me to get a specialist. I have a few swirls and need some minor paint correction done (looks like the previous owner did not use the two bucket wash method), so a cut and polish is on the cards. Car looks perfect 99% of the time, but in certain sunlight I can see the paint problems so I want to have them sorted. This guys twin is what I am seeking. https://https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QW25dgHCA2M&feature=youtu.be/QW25dgHCA2M If the link did not work it is the guy from White Details in the UK (I want someone as good as him). If you are in the West Paul B is your man...........the shiniest mirror finish I have ever seen with my own eyes on this Lincoln Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
