With a bit of work a bit of paint correction is possible and the results are stunning

Agreed, getting the paintwork to look it’s best it takes a lot of time/effort, so I can understand why ‘good’ detailing companies charge a lot of money. The vehicle still looks really good, although could do with some more wax to top it up.

I purchase most of my car cleaning stuff from Cleanyourcar.co.uk, and the unit on this link is closest to model I have.

Alongside some Chemical Guys Hexlogic pads and V polish.

Wow dgarside that is very shiny!!! Always fancied a DA polisher but there’s so many at different prices it’s hard to decide!
Would you know if chemical guys do a decent plastic restorer and if it’s any good? I’m after something to remove a few marks from the roof rack plastic trim

Ive Used a couple which worked well, one on my windscreen bottom/cowl and the other on general trim.

https://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/gtechniq-c4...m-restorer - i used on windscreen and worked well. Will need doing again soon, doesn’t last forever on badly faded plastic.

https://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/chemical-guys-new-look-trim-gel - i used recently and worked well on general plastic trim.

Is that what you mean?

Darren.

Hi Darren
It’s more about the scratches hopefully you can see pictures below, I know what you mean about the windscreen cowl, I’ve some trim gel for that but also find carefully applied instant tyre dressing gets the colour back on that and the door trims

Truth be told, I’d missed the bottom half of the driver’s door & SWMBO had missed a third of the front passengers side. Whistle Whistle


You've polished away all the Disco shaped bits Laughing

Hmmmmmm yeah, I’ve got similar and one of the jobs I need to sort out. I would have thought a really fine polish might do the trick, but I’m just not sure when it comes to plastic. One thing I do know is that plastic will heat up much quicker than paint, so any polishing will need to be done carefully. I might do a bit of research and see what I can find out.

Doesn’t look as good as that now, had a few offroad days and knocked the front bumper over when fitting the hidden winch…. So a bit scratched in a few places now…. few days of paint repair coming up and a trip to the body shop for a few bits.

You've made me feel bad..... I didn't realise you were supposed to polish them!

Only joking! I have enough polishing products to bring a shine back to the Titanic!
