How to rubba dub tub your vee dub..

[Lukev85]

Meguiars quick wax. Its a spray on stuff and it gives a great long lasting shine

[The_Hawk]

which autoglym product are you using?

Bumper care on the bumpers (as of Saturday) which seems to be pretty good so far. Will see how it fares after we get some rain, or just over time.

Also the Polish, although which one I don't exactly recall, will have to have a look when I'm at home.

I have to agree with hawk, I used AutoGlym products (they were on the seat.co.uk website as the repalcement product) yeaterday to clean up my "new" cordy and couldn't be more happy with them (only thing is the price cost me about $100 on stuff) should last for ages though.

Car loked matt red before I got my hands on it, I used...

Bodywork Shampoo Conditioner with one of those noodle things, 2 buckets.
Super Resin Polish
Extra Gloss Protection

on the inside - Interior Shampoo

well it took me 6 hours all up, but i think its now spotless!

I'll post picks when I figure out how

Wow - that's amazing! Has anyone here in Melb got one of these polishing machines? I was thinging that I was going to do it by hand.

Neil, check out Final Inspection's forums. Some very good stuff there and I usually ask all my detailing questions there and get back some good answers. Final Inspection is a detailing company by the way.

With using a rotary machine, it'd definitely speed the polishing process up a lot as opposed to hand polishing, but results can be bad if you're not well-practised with one. I find that detailing is a whole other type of game and knowing your stuff like what pads to use, what polishing abrasive to use for certain scratches etc really goes a long way.

Anyway, on a side note, I just bought one of these:





More of an impulse buy when I was shopping around Haven't used it yet, but I'm sure I'll be doing a favour for my back!
