| Re: Ultimate Detail? That is awesome. I have seen it before but still watched it again. I wonder what he would charge for at Octy vRS.

| Re: Ultimate Detail? I noticed him using a sponge and liberally sweeping the paintwork with it, which unless I am mistaken, is a primary cause of swirl marks. However, I guess if you're then using a mechanical polisher to polish them all out immediately afterwards it wouldn't matter too much, although I can't but help thinking how many of his washes would be needed before the paint is worn away?

| Re: Ultimate Detail? I think he uses a clay sponge? Like they said though the products he uses cost a fortune and sometimes it takes a couple of days to do a full detail like that

| Re: Ultimate Detail? i think its a zymol sponge which has a tighter structure than normal sponges and is quite soft. Havent a clue as to why it wont cause swirls though  Detailing World
