    Saying hello

    Hi guys, just signed up and thought I`d say hello from cold and wet Scotland.

    I`m very much a weekend detailer, having recently graduated from the school of dishwashing liquid and old t-shirts!

    Don`t expect many posts for a while though, there`s enough reading in here to keep me going for weeks!

    Dave

    Edit:
    Forgot to say, I drive a `93 BMW 540i in Calypso Red Mettalic.

    Mainly Meguiar`s nowadays, before that it was Autoglym and before that TurtleWax!

    I`ve got the Deep Crystal 1, 2 and 3
    Clear Coat Body Scrub
    Scratch-X

    Gold Class Wax
    NXT Wax
    Endurance Wheel Gloss
    NXT Protectant
    Gold Class Trim Detailer

    I must confess to using coloured polish on the roof though!
    **Dave goes to stand in the corner, looking embaressed**

    I`ve got loads of etched spots through the clear coat on the roof and coloured polish is the best I`ve found at hiding them until I can get someone to give the roof a paint.

    Thanks Jeff,
    I`d love to say that my attempt at wet sanding came out as good as his....................
    but I would be lying!!!!


    My etching is right through the clearcoat and I`m through to the base colour before the marks are gone.
    The only remedy for that is a repaint unfortunately!
