This makes me feel guilty (red R32 detailed)

[gavs]

I'll be doing my wheels (all over...100%...inside and out) when I get home. I'm going to try and reduce the amount of brake dust by trying a wheel wax.

I did this last detail of my car, make sure you use synthetic wax tho, the natural stuff kinda washes off pretty quick

[FJ Steve]

Yup ... Synthetic. (The "Wheel Wax" variant....right?)

[D3bb4]

The carabuna wax however tis spelt doesn't wash off quick - so long as you use the paste. Paste waxes last up to around 6X longer. Takes longer to put on though, so most people don't bother.

Very nice find. Wish i had the time to do that!

Am curious about this 50/50 thing the guy did - is it the claybar that got rid of it? or machine polishing it?

And what was product used in engine bay? i want some!

I think i need some advice about cleaning car.... longest i've spent detailing it was about 3hrs.

D3bb4, talk to DMS_Dan about a cleaning day in Rozelle (if you're in sydney). He'll tell you about it. There's a few guys that host this information day where they teach you the best ways to prep, clean, detail etc your car, and they will give you vouchers for the products they use if you want to buy them. It's $40 for the day, well worth it IMO! I'm going to the first one after i get my licence back

I use the Zymol range of products. Not cheap by any means, but the finish is just unbelievable.

I want to clean my Arches and Engine bay like that..

and the door hinges etc!!!

what does he use... none of the names of things he said look like anything available in NZ

the other thing with mkIVs you should remove your wheel arch liners once in a while (well at least on the front any way) its scary how much leaves and buld up you get on the inside.. that just stay damn.. and im guessing in time would cause rusting..

99% of the finish is in the preperation

I agree, it doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg to get a great, shiny finish. If I could work out how to insert images off my computer i'd show what I mean
