Gave her a quick polish yesterday with Autoglym ultra deep shine for dark cars..
Looks shiny
I though your Leon was black? Or is it just the light that makes it look a bit gray?The LCR-lip looks really good, did you check the price for it at Møller?

Thanks! It is shiny, but im not all happy with the result. Ordered a clay bar kit the other day and going to do the whole car in the upcoming weekend. Mye piggstøv
My car is pitch black, so it's just the grey clouds in the sky thats playing tricks with you
Yup, I ordered it from Johnsen Bil (Local VAG dealer) for 480NOK. Affordable and just made the car look stunning, really..

Oh, why not? Are you struggling with swirls?
A clay bay might do the job for the dust. I would recommend you try out CarPro Iron-X or Bilt-hamber Korrosol also, they work really great against metal particles and brake dust and would go further into the paint than the clay bar.
When I polished my Leon last year I pre-washed it with Prickbort, Surfex and Iron-X before I gave it a good wash, and I found almost nothing with the clay bar. But the clay bar might give you a few spots/marks, so you would probably have to polish it again
Nice, much cheaper than ebay. Yes it does

Well, first of all I did it by hand.. Stood for HOURS, almost lost my hands
And there was some spots I want to do it better, and some spots I missed (starting to get a bit sloppy after doing it by hand for hours) ..I'm going to give her a good clean and go over it with the clay bar.. The thought of polishing again just..... Well, I might call a guy in the neighborhood of mine who "professionally" polish cars. He only uses Megiuars products, and always gets a smashing result, the downside is he has the car for 2-3 days.
What do you reckon is a fair price for a complete polish with sealant for a Leon?

Haha
I know the feeling. Been there, done that. That's why I bought a polishing machine and was reading a lot on detailersclub.noWell, it depends on his experience, car size, how many steps/stages of polish, products and LSP (last step product, wax or sealer). A good wax could cost from anything to 200NOK for 500ml to 13 500NOK for 150ml.. You will normally get it really shiny and swirl-free with a 1-stage job. I really don't know what price they take, but some say minimum 4 000NOK (but they have done this a lot).
If you have high criteria, using a polishing machine is the way to give you a satisfied result. Then it gets really shiny and all swirls are gone.
I found this 50/50 picture of a 1-stage job on detailersclub.no, it's a -07 BMW X3. As you might see, left side is not polished jet
Fitted my coilovers today, as well as the polished inlet manifold with a phenolic gasket fitted aswell.
Sweet auto man!!
Haha

You didn't go to biltema to buy one i guess?
haha..Heard rumours that this guy only charge you about 1500NOK for the job. He loves doing it, so for him, it's just a hobby. As long as you cover the product he'll be happy
Yes, i've seen som pretty rip-off prices on some products..
That looks amazing! Guess when I move to a place this summer with my own garage i will invest in a DA polishing machine
Contain yerselves buddy
Its an easy job, you dont even need to jack up the car or remove the wheels to do it.You didn't go to biltema to buy one i guess?

No, I didn't, but the one from Biltema would probably do the work too, but the motor might be a bit weak if you have to much pressure, but that is only necessary if your paint is really hard. I bought the Rupes machine since its a popular and recommended machine and according to Rupes them self, the pressure should only be the machine it self. So I don't have to focus this much on pressure when I'm new into this game.
Hope the rumours are correct, because that was a really nice price
The light reflection makes it a bit worse then what it really is, but it is a huge difference between before and after.
Did a dv relocate, anyone able to enlighten me if the noise is meant to flutter post doing this?
