:D http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/ind...showtopic=56752

As suggested by Steviewevie I joined www.detailingworld.co.uk and put the above thread up in one of their forums and wondered, will I get anything back? Within a minute the first emails started landing and within 48 hours I got more information back than I could possibly assimilate. This really is a total understatement & I have to admit, it was quite intimidating at first with all the different types of preparation, cleaning, polishing, finishing & LSP products being recommended. I've learnt more about the different techniques & product applications for keeping your paint work beautiful than I ever thought possible. Yesterday I went to a local detailing meet in Berkshire with the guys and can only say I learnt more about car cleaning, polishes, waxes, sealants, glazes and LSP's than I ever realised existed a few weeks back.

In conclusion, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this site to anyone who has an open mind and is searching for a brilliant unblemished finish to their pride and joy. You will probably get a head ache and wonder what you have let yourself in for but the journey is a good one and the road ahead will soon become clearer. If you hadn’t guessed, I am already addicted and can’t wait, my weapons of choice have been ordered tonight and I can’t wait to put my new found knowledge to the test. The good thing is (like the LOC ) I haven’t met any kind of protectionism what so ever on idea's and the members are more than willing to help as and when you need them. I have even had offers from members to come to my home and help me with my first detail. The good news is I have a 'donar car' (1976 bright orange TR7) being delivered Monday or Tuesday to practice upon and if I can make that shine there shouldnt be any doubts about my beautiful LS.

For what its worth, I hope this helps someone, my weapons of choice are :-

Meguiars G220 (its heavier than the Kestrel and balanced ) :)

Paintwork : Valet Pro PH Neautral Snow / 2BM Wash with Meg's Shampoo plus / DoDo juice gentle clay / Meg's 83 & 80 machined with G220 & cleaned between each pass with Meg's Last Touch / Zaino AIO / followed by alternate layers of Zaino Z5 & Z6 / Repeat / Repeat / DoDo Juice Banana Armour or Collinite 476s & Zaino Z8 Grand Finale Spray Seal.

Stand back, look smug and then realise you forgot the Wheels & Tyres.

alloys : Bilberry wheel cleaner / Wheel Wax / Opti-seal clear sealent.

Rubber : Meguiars Hot Shine

Great news ! :D

I too have found the folks on detailing World incredibly helpful, all too-willing to answer my "stupid" questions. I've also seen members offering to come round and help others, as you say there's a similar attitude to LOC there in helping each other out. Never been to one of their meets but I'm sure if I did I'd end up buying even more detailing products ! :lol:

Hi Mike,

I'm looking to get one of these DA's and I think it's going to be the G220 for me too! Where did you get it from in the end?? I'm being tempted to get it from Polished Bliss as they seem to know their stuff very well.

Can't wait to see your results on the '460...keep us posted B)

Ta,

Noman
