I have a DVD , "how to use a DA for showcar results" basically shows how to use it, technique and so on, but not fully into paint correction, worth whatching if you need a guide to using one etc

Vadim, lets book on a 3 hour course, locally, or near to us in Ascot - guy from Magic detail showed me last year but I could do with going again, think he charges about £50 and he shows you how to do it - want me to make the call and arrange and see when etc???


Hi Nick,
Apologies for somewhat late reply. good idea actually, I am totally up for that. Please let me know if you find any anything about it. Vadim A.

Thanks to everyone for their help, just placed my order on Elite Car Care for all the things recommended including some new fancy wash buckets and after speaking to Alex who was really helpful added some Zaino Quick Detailer to make it look even shinier.
Perhaps we should organise a local members detailing GTG on my car park at work Thumbs Up


Think I will be booking my car into Chris P's Car Wash...Derbyshire's FInest.....If only to see what this snow thing is all about ! Smile

Just be advised that snop foam loosens the dirt on the car, and makes it easier to clean, but it does not remove the need to wash the car after being rinsed off. It will remove grit form the car and dirt that could cause scrathes to the bodywork whilst washing - but the 2 bucket method helps too

Birds attacking their reflections in my car paint/window.

I've got a really interesting problem now.
My house is in the middle of a small wood with lots of bird life as we feed them.
We have for some time had a problem with male blackbirds attacking our house windows because they see their reflections and think that it is a competing male.
Now my new car is on the drive every morning the area around the drivers mirror is absolutely filthy from their wings and poo as it looks as if they are seeing their reflections in the polished black paint and mirror,never had that problem with my grey car.
Anybody out their an ornithologist who can help with some advice,I've thought about buying a plastic decoy owl or hawk from the gun shop and sitting it on the roof?????? MY2011 HSE Santorini/Ivory/Piano Black/Privacy Glass/TV .Sadly gone.
