Awsome thread, wish I had seen a bit sooner as I have been fighting an ongoing war with my GF's BMW's shitty paint. Spent 4 hours last weekend on just the meguirs step one deep cleaner. Every microfiber cloth or polishing pad i used would turn black, paint is starting to shine more though. and Jason I think for your tires most tire shines work pretty well at cleaning and keeping a wet look, The one with the plastic tire handle is the one i use most and it seems to work pretty well

 

I think you'll be pleased with it, I certainly liked the new look it gave as well as protected the surface. It works excellent as an engine bay dressing, here it is on my S4 before I sold it with 55k miles.



Those rubber pieces at the ends of the bi-pipes were stained from something, I could never get those to clean up. Should have done the upgraded hose kit hehe.

ADubyaD - Thanks for the positive feedback. If you have any questions, let me know.

George, Ive got a pesky stain on my Y pipe. Im not sure what it is, but it might be oil and some dust in it. Is it okay to try to use some rubbing alcohol or some engine degreaser on a paper towel?

 

Yep, a degreaser and a towel (doesn't have to be microfiber) should work just fine. Paper towel may tear on you pretty easily but you can certainly give it a shot. Let me know how you make out.

the work is awesome for the right car $£000000000000000 but a silly concept for the average car but its a business so well done ( or your punters have been well done or deserve it) well done

 

George, I have a question on polishing the interior trim pieces around my geat shift... it really just looks dull and could use soemthign to shine it up... probably from people putting things on it and such for the last few years..

Kyle - is there any chance you could take a picture or dig up a picture of the piece you are referring to? I want to make sure I recommend the proper products / procedures for the specific area you are referring to. Sometimes people have different trim pieces, I remember the S4 had the wood option, carbon fiber option and another one if I'm not mistaken, not to mention aftermarket trim pieces.

wow - clean engine bay = [sm=hail.gif]

Thanks again for the advise George!

Here it is... the camera on my phone was set to B&W but if you need color I'll go back out and get one, It is the pieces that looks like wood... but I believe is actually plastic... (judging by another scratch somewhere else on it) it is just dull and needs polished somehow to restore that gloss to it like most fo the other pieces that are on the doos and dash are like.

 

George, Thanks so much for recomending those products! I recieved them yesterday morning and great packing by the way!

I washed my car with the Poorboy's super suds and my new sheepskin wash mit and let me tell you! This stuff is awesome just the wash made my car shine alot and the waffle weave drying cloth is amazing, i never had to once ring it out!

I will be waxing and all that good stuff this weekend! I cant wait, so far i am soo pleased with this stuff! Oh yea, the Poorboy tire shine is awesome too!

Best 210.00 i spent on my car yet!

Thanks!
