S.hunt Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I've been hearing a lot about cars being detailing and paint restoration, making it look showroom quality. I would like to do the same thing myself but I just don't know where to begin. The only thing I have is DA polisher. I want to get rid of as many scratches I can that are on the car and also restore is paintwork and remove the holograms that is also on the paintwork. What do people recommend? I keep looking into all different types of detailing brands and I just get confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autobrite Direct has masses of stuff, the 'correct it' range is good to get rid of swirls/holograms, personally I use 'brilliance' 'carbanuba' 'project 32' on my mk2 amongst others. https://www.autobritedirect.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.hunt Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 Are these are fairly easy product to use? I have a DA polisher (challenge x from Argos) would you recommend a different type of pad to use? or will using the ones that came with it be sufficient enough? I only ask as because this polisher was on the budget side, so I am assuming that the pads will be of budget quality and wouldn't want it to cause more harm.

Russ Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Not sure of which pads to use but I'd guess the AD website would tell you. I put mine on by hand as my paintwork is ok. I reckon when I bought the car from uncle arnold 2 years ago they'd gone over it with a DA beforehand as it was spotless & gleaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.hunt Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 Great thanks for the advice. I will have to bite the bullet and get something done soon before the bad weather comes round. Thanks again Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
