Default Baker21's Superb 'mini Detail' Before Usa Trip........

Completely forgot to post these pics up before I came out to the US but while I am sat here relaxing on holiday thought I would post up some pics of the Superb before I left it for a week........

Decided before I came away to give it a mini-detail to protect it from whatever weather the UK had to throw at it but from what my girlfriend says the weather has been great in the UK..............

Basically completed the following on the car:

Glimour Gun + Snow Foam then the 2BM consisting of Megs Gold Class Shampoo + Megs Buckets and Gritguards + Megs Wash Mitts;
Megs Wheel Brightner + EZ Wheel Brush + Megs Tyre Brush;
Cleaned all windows with Megs Glass Cleaner;
Coat of wax applied using a Megs Applicator Pad and I opted for Collinite 845;
Coat of CG Wet Wet Wet Wax using a Megs Applicator Pad;
Rim Wax using an Applicator Pad on the centre section of the wheels;
Brasso on the Mirror Polsihed Rims of the wheels;
Then dressed the tyres with Megs Tyre Shine and Applicator.











Only a quick clean really but have to say that the Collinite 845 works so well on my colour paintwork and beads for months...............

I have bought pretty much one of everything from the Zaino range including a few choice extras while I am out here so looking forward to getting back and trying some of these products on both my own car and my customers;







Some real bargains and some new bits and pieces that I am looking forward to trying out..............

Thanks mate and it sure does get dirty, it's my one and only car so it's my 'daily' and does get very dirty................try to keep on top of the cleaning as much as possible and when your into 'detailing' it's hard not to have a car to show potential customers how good theirs can look.............

I am a massive fan of getting some of these 'slogans' onto my T-Shirt when I am detailing cars:

"No, I don't want to do yours next"
"Yeah, I know I'll make it rain!"
"Yes, I know I'll rub the paint off"
"You cant beat a good hand job"
"Yes I do know I only cleaned it a few days ago!"
"Cleaning is for amatuers detailing is for the pro"
" I may not be perfect but im so damn close it scares me "
" Im not weird I'm gifted "
" I only do what the little voices tell me to do "
"Karate Kids' got nothing on me"
"Mr Miagee taught me well"
"I know it doesn't look dirty....."
"If your cat jumps on my car again...."
"What hosepipe ban?"
"Stop starring, come and get some tips"
'' No.....I'm not using a grinder on my paint!! ''

I'm loving the Mr Miagee one

One of my neighbours said "go on give it a good polish!!" when I was buffing the wax off my Sisters Micra.





Very well kept Superb and we have had some rain. In case you're wondering
