I think I'll need a bigger pallet sized fridge then

I agree it is very informative thread too

Mike, it might be worth breaking it down a little bit, for the newbies to detailing ie a quick guide as in what order to do first and maybe the products you recommend so long as its not all named items from your mates garage next door called Elite but must point out that Elite do sell all the products you use We wouldn't want any direct advertising without a sponsorship arrangement with Martin's approval first now would we.

Snowfoam
Rinse
Degrease
Wash
Etc etc

No problem at all!

I was kind of trying to get a sub forum for detailing.

Then it can have stickys(all made by me) on what methods, what order, what products etc. maybe do product reviews as a lot of top brands send me things way before they come out for me to review. Then can show some work and then the rest of you guys can show your hard work too:)

I think it's a win win idea and the site will definitely benifit from it.

Though elite car care is a totally different company we would definitely become the 2 sponsors for this 'detailing' sub forum.

You would then get discount codes and be the first to know of new products. You guys would love it, all I got to do is wait for a reply from this websites MOD.

It also depends on the price;)

Cheers
Mike Always clean.

Discount codes?? I had better wait until you get aproval before putting in an order for a snowfoamer then!

Sounds like a great plan that this forum has been asking for for ages ive just ordered some gtec items from elite yesterday. So i would benefit from a sponsorship deal in the future shoud one be agreed. Come on Martin crack on

hope it does come off, as there have been a few detailers join in the past, look to see what the crack is on membership and nothing then happens
