"Amateur" Detailer

About 18 months ago, my missus bought me a clay bar kit...

And this has extended from that! I don't class myself as a professional, I do this as a hobby. This is my latest throw about

Looking good!!

I wish I had the patience for detailing cars. Mine have always been used so much that I couldn't keep on top of it as much as I would like. If I spent a day cleaning it then within a week it's usually back to square one so it becomes neglected over time.

Did you do this by hand or DA? Looks good either way.

Once the (very) localised snow cleared up to let you get on with it

- it polished up nicely.

Thanks people, if anyone is about I’m happy to give UKMOC cars a “quick” clean (this one took me 9 hours - that’s very quick for a professional detailer).

DA mate, I used a DAS-6 PRO, with green CG hexlogic quantum pads and a single pass using Scholl Concepts Black compound, then sealed with Fusso 99 and waxed with CG Butter Wet Wax. I have a cheap rotary but I’m not brave enough to use that

That’s after a full wash and decontaminate & clay.
