Do your own Detailing

[ICER33]

hey everyone, i was just wondering if anyone would be interested in me posting up a sort of prescription in to how to take proper care of your cars paint and interior.

Being a detailer i have worked on cars from VB commodores to $450,000 SLK's and have picked a lot of tricks and knowledge along the way. i have been taught by people from Megiuars and Autogylm so i can tell you what works and what to steer clear of.

Give me some feed back because it will be in depth covering everything from making your engine bay look new, having your dash have the glow constantly, how to protect precious rims from that evil brake dust and have your paint absolutely spotless.

let us know :bond:

i havent washed my car since december last year and its black... so any tips you would have I would definately appreciate!

If you do a write up, just let one of the mods know and they will put it in the Tutorials section so its easy to find.

Yeah, it would be awesome...

I've pieced together a lot of information from reading the Show and Shine section on Offtopic.com, such as good products to use (alot of which seem to be a bit difficult to find here in Australia) etc etc

But i'd love a good start to finish, comprehensive tutorial style

[Greg]

Yes.

That would be really useful. Thanks for your offer

Come on .. Everyone is saying "yeah that'd be good.. someone post up something about it". Obviously it's going to take someone who has experience to talk about a DIY, and since you are a Car Detailer ICER33 why don't you take a few minutes to put together a little DIY diddy describing the tricks you have learnt in the business?

Would be greatly appreciated !!

that would be great to get handy tips to help keep our cars looking like they should.

Go for it mate

Would like some tips on keeping chromies protected against brake dust.

My rears are spotless but fronts dont look to flash, any tips on getting a good shine back?

[arm85]

yeah that would be really handy, especially if it had how to bring back a showroom finish not just keep it, for us lazy blokes who forget to clean it every now and again!

[ICER33]

yeah sweet then.

few people seem keen so i will get on to it and hopefully post it up tomorrow night. it will be quite extensive so i will try my hardest.
