You want full paintwork correction to make the paint look better than new.


I'd never use T-Cut, it wouldn't cut it with me :shock: I only ever use top products. T-cut will make a rough car look better but it will never leave the finish that using a range of professinal products and techniques will.

You can't do it in an Hour - I just spent 3 days working on an Audi Q7 (inside included) It takes make me 2 days to do most cars excluding the interior.


I suppose it all depends on how fussy people are, I need everything to be perfect, as do most of my customers.






Good to see you are still keeping up the work on the 4G.

Yeah, I do detailing and Paint correction, Perfect Image

Thanks, I try to keep it in top shape, although if its been on a Saturday it will normally be a bit dirty by then.


I want a professional finish wot cleanin stuff do u recommend?
THB its hard to get a professional finish without using lots of products and a proper machine polisher would be needed as would multi-stage polishes. Its nor cheap, my eqipment and products come to about £400

The best you can do by hand is really to clean it, de-tar it, clay it and then use something like AutoGlym SRP (or possibly a finishing polish, but you have to really work it in, which is hard work) followed by a Wax.

The 4G is actually quite an awkward car to do, the rear and the lower half all have small areas and awkward angles.



If you want I could do you a good price on paint correction saying as your a fellow 4G owner.
