In 1997 I had a contract valeting ex Strathclyde Council, Renault Masters, in white. Part of the deal was t-cutting the paint that had seen nothing but soap and water for years. Now I'm old I won't be doing that again but I do want to start an hobby/retirement business doing paint restoration. Things have moved on so much that I'm starting from the beginning again and your videos are excellent tutorials.

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thanks Rob. Happy to help. I try to focus more on the business strategies as I think they are area's that don't get much coverage

Hello it's called "yum wheels"

[@cerealkiller4248]

Back in the early 90’s I had a red 88 205CTi, within a few months the paint started to oxidise and turn that ugly pink colour. Not knowing I bought a T Cut and tried to polish it out but no joy. A few months later it was booked in for an interior valet ( not really needed I was a bit anal about my cars back then ) and when I went to collect it later that day the guy commented on the paint. I explained the T Cut I’d tried and ultimately failed to rectify the damage. I’ve never forgotten what came next, he got some AutoGlym polish and poured a bit on the bonnet, picked up his polisher and made a circular motion about 2 foot in diameter. After 30 secs he stopped, got a rag and wiped away the excess polish to leave a hugely glossy patch on my bonnet. I was gobsmacked, immediately told him to do the whole car. It came back like a brand new car, inside and out. It had covered 37k miles by then but looked showroom standard. I remember going to look at a Vauxhall Calibre in it and the salesman was drooling over it asking me to sell it. You did an amazing job, this Corsa looks a great first car for someone who I bet was thrilled to receive it.

Hi buddy new to the Channel I have a question I have a year old Skoda Octavia in brilliant silver I'm the first owner and I've looked after the paintwork I keep it waxed washed no marks on it the car is still in showroom condition I only do about 3000 miles a year ear but the car lives outside but my question to you is is in August just before the winter starts I always prep my older cars for a Polish and a good ceramic or waxing but I've never clay bar a car I do and polish by hand when I reach that date would it be necessary to clay bar it or could I get away with just polishing it then obviously decontaminate it with ISO profile and then start my waxing ceramic coating graphene coating please advice is it necessary to clay bar a car or can I get away with just hand polishing

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Clay barring will cause marring marks so in a perfect world you should use a machine polisher. Compound by hand is good but can only get you so far. 2 coats of turtle wax ceramic spray will see you through winter

Any tips for starting on machine polishing? Want to try but all a bit daunting incase I ruin the Paintwork, what products do I use on the pads? What's the difference in the colours of the pads etc?? If anyone can pm me with info?

1 product? Nu Finish or Simonize wax with ceramic. I have been washing cars sincce 1956 when my Father had a garage built with floor drains and hot water. This was in Northern Ohio, and yes I did wash his cars year round. Back then it was Dupont 33 car wash, Westley's Bleech Wite whitewall cleaner, and Blue Coral wax. Now I fake clay, seal with nu finish and use ceramic detailer as needed, but I now live in Southwest Florida.

Wow that's a long time. Bet you got some great pictures from the past. Would of loved to see what it was like back then doing this job before we had all the new products
