nice , i love dark colours , but thats the detailer in me

, cant beat the shine you get from black paint

 

[jerry3167]

True m8, you cant beat the shine from a good black, my Civic Type-R (below) was nighthawk black!
As featured in BANZAI magazine 07 Bluewater Meet I organised!

My Drivers seat with "car porn brands"

JDM style

Car park Tescos Purley

 

[Rich Note]

Very nice. Did you have fun on the bends when the power came on?

 

[jerry3167]

Yes, very much so m8!
I should also point out that my CTR was tuned by CPL RACING in sheerness, who own the worlds fastest Turbo CTR at 650BHP and a santa pod run of 10.05

My CTR waslowered on Eibach springs, JDM Thicker ARB, Torque damper, Front and rear Tower strut bars, Lower tie-bar, Spoon 4-pot calipers, Jackson Racing Manifold, Full Spoon N1 exhaust system



PS..a pic of my missus in the driving seat.

i went slightly different this time , i got a nightshade qq , looks black all winter but in the summer sun you see the purpleish tones ,

still get agreat shine from it

ive flat sanded mine to remove a lot of the nissan orange peel

 

[jerry3167]

Mmm..very nice that shine, did you claybar it etc? I have a full "Snow foam" Kit.

 

[craigfishin]

yeh , im a detailer

it was wet sanded when i first got it and every 3 months it gets the works

jet wash
snow foam
washed with ph neutral shampoo using a wookie mitt
clayed
rotary machine polisher to remove swirls
da machined polisher to finish the prep
ipa wipedown
rims de-ironised then sealed
plastics coated and sealed
then 2 coats of nano sealent (my current prefered finish)
or 2 coats of wax (swissvax shield is my favourite)
all glass has g-techniq's g1/2/4 on them , great stuff , when travelling over 40mph theres no need for wipers

heres mine in action

[TUBE]0XQrWhUCI-Q[/TUBE]




after 3 months the bonnet ends up pretty much like this due to using detailing sprays to keep shiny inbetween so it gets the rotary treatment

but after a couple of hours with the rotary polisher it ends up like this

and as for kit

, dont get me started

heres my mobile kit

sorry , its a passion of mine and i get carried away sometimes

happy to help if anyone has any questions on products technique's ect as ive pretty much tried them all over the years

OMFG...thats a shed load of stuff, Ive got a fair bit of kit Race Glaze, Poorboys, Do-do juice stuff but your gear is awesome!!

Maybe you could do some work on my NOTE?

Just looking at the G-techniq site and ordering some goodies, cheers!!Edited by: jerry3167

 

[flash22]

do you have a reflectometer then your a true nut, do you polish the lights aswell- silly question of course you do rofl
do you have any gold buckets ??

 

[Rich Note]

Jerry - I would have liked to take it out on a track.

Craigfishin - WOW and WOW We will all have to come around

I bet you could not make mine look as good

 

[craigfishin]

business is quiet this time of year so im happy to help if your passing guys

, i could have your notes looking like new

flash: yes headlights are rotary polished to shine like the paint work

i use 10,000,000 candle luminem torches for swirl spotting and a paint detective depth gauge to see how much paint i have to work with

g-techniq's do some great stuff , all expensive but with them you get what you pay for

poorboys touchless wheel wash is my favourite product of all time

it gets bloody expensive , my kit averages at any one time at about £3000 but i have to have everything to cover any situation and any car paint

wax's are the biggest expense for good quality ones , i have around 5/7 pots at any one time to suit different situations and colours but for example my swissvax shield costs £130 a pot

detailing is addictive , hard work but when you see the finished article its all worth it , the average detail i do takes 5/7 hrs without stopping , its hard to have breaks as most products are timed on the car so while one is working you put on another so you are going non stop , but i love it

By the way, did I ever tell you about my acting career? Here is a photo of me with none other than Mr ADAM WEST!!!

This was taken in 1966, and Mr West was a very nice man, in fact he gave me buns to eat and a ride in the Batmobile afterwards! (TRUE)
