I enjoy watching those videos - envious because if I spent that long cleaning my car, missus would kill me.
I bought some Meguirs Gold Spray wax the other day, easy and quick with great results.

I use a rotary polisher from tool station with adjustable speed i will look for a link and post it. Yes there are different grades of mop head and compound.

Always start with the softest compound and if that doesnt work move onto more afressive grades. Garys scratch on the rear left all came out with a mild scratch remover and white mop head.

Hi

I carefully removed the bonnets lettering , but as I thought the backing has been left behind , don’t want to push my luck by trying to scrape the glue off

May i ask what’s the best thing to remove it with plse



Also gave it one coat of the meguiars bumper trim cleaner , well pleased as it’s taken most of the grey out , also cleaned my door trims and dashboard with it, couldn’t believe the amount of grime that came off

Many thks Thumbs Up

Just did all my lettering a few weeks ago (from silver to black).

Used a bit of heat, meths, a small plastic scraper, some elbow grease & patience.

It is a laborious job. Confused

I wouldn't put white spirit near it in case it reacts with the paint.

Thks , indeed well pleased with the results

Awesome job as ever you’ve done there, D3 just needs a different grill Whistle

Also wondered if some of the adhesive removers are any good , see that rubber wheel is £17 and thought would I ever use it again

Something like this

Thks as always Thumbs Up

You need a rubber wheel or similar look at tool station. The foam stops any chemical from working so not worth it

I would just use the white spirit you have..

If you're concerned at all, try a little bit first.
The paint on these discos is quite hardwearing.
