Nu Finish Car Wash.
The shine is unbelievable, I washed the car and 6 hours latter went to town and came out a store and for a second or 2 though my car was someone elses because the paint was just amazing and the metalic finish, wow.

How can you repair stone chips? I don't want to see a little crater glazed over with touch up paint, but a perfect, smooth, shiny look like you'd never know there was ever a stone chip.

Or am I dreaming? :p

Also a couple of small spots on the rear bumper where the paint has bubbled (altercation with a 4wd bull bar :( ) and is flaking slightly.

Btw I have a silver VS
Better off re-spraying the panel, otherwise for stone chips try dabbing touch up paint with a cotton bud or very small brush wait till dry then add more and finish with a buff

How does car detailing work? Do I just send my car to a car detailing service?
Are there any important questions to ask a detailer?
Please advise.
Thanks

Has anyone hosed there floor mats out then let air dry?

I was in training all week and the car park was just a dirt pad so even with me taking my work boots off and putting some thongs on and tapping them my floor mats are covered in mud and I was thinking of just hitting the drivers one with a hose and brush?

I'd hose it off, squirt some dish washing liquid over it...give it a good scrub then hose off. Hang it on the clothes line...done !!

Do it all the time. As above is good advice.
When you hose them, start at one end and work side to side and move up the mat.

Just go to a car wash and use soap setting on high power wash then rinse, then put them in your boot go home and put them out to dry.

Thanks all
I ended up spraying a bit of autoglym interior cleaner all over the mats then agitated with a stiff brush then vacuumed. They come up like new and smell good to lol
