just read this thread on 106 owners club

Would anyone be interested in having their cars machine polished?

Rinse
Clean wheels
Wash car with AG shampoo
Rinse
Clay
Machine polish 1-3 stages depending on how bad your car is
Glaze
Tyre / Trim Gel
Then a coat of Chemical Guys XXX Hardcore wax


I'm going to have to up the price alitte depending on how bad your car is really as it will take me longer to correct & use more materials.

For that price i would ditch the glaze, just no point using a glaze, would want a better wax/sealent used (z2,swissvax) etc doesnt say what the car will be washed with, mitt or sponge or 2 bucket method. hasnt said how the car is dried .

Oh right so let's just get lots of grit and rub it all over somebody else car erm no!! Wether it's being machine polished or not why make more scratches, if that's the way you look at it then I wouldn't even let you lay one finger on my car tbh.

Why would anyone bother detailing a car for £25??? Seems pointless to me personally.

I love doing it...........however when you look at the time it takes, the products you use (pads, polish, sealant, waxes etc etc etc etc etc) i wouldnt even bother for £25

Maybe i just use more expensive products.....or maybe in just not that desperate for £25 lol
