Amazing car, awesome video, and brillant detailing work! What does "HD cleansing" mean?

Hi guys.....

Firstly let me apologize as i keep talking about the z word and i forget that i am on a pinnacle etc forum.......I just forget ......

Unfortunatly most of my products are zymol and zaino etc as more common to me .....

Secondly the aquatouch drying towels are large towels that i use and not the more common waffles.....They are a bit like egyptian towels and soak up water but do not need wringing out......I do a whole car with 1 towel and that includes qd,ing but i do use only ro water so car pretty dry before toweling off....Paul introduced them to me and they are what he uses in his video of the Maserati........

LINKS TO COMPETITORS IS NOT ALLOWED : USE GOOGLE !!!


Secondly hd cleanse is the paintwork prewax application that is made by zymol and has to go on before applying wax........It is a chocolaty smelling product that strips the paintwork and then lays down oils to make the paintwork have a massive shine so is a cleaner and polish in one......Unfortunatly i dont think there is a better product out there and Paul uses it religiously.........

Thirdly i am now classed as Pauls gofer!!!! No seriously we have become very good friends both having the same passion as you guys and he now likes the fact that someone can take a half decent photo and as an artist i can capture his expressions in his work for all to view......

On the Bugatti detail i amassed over 700 photos all 5 meg each and whitled it down to 90 which after editing and uploading took me over 20 man hours.....I also like to get my facts on a vehicle before going with Paul and ask questions to learn about the vehicle in hand.......I feel it is more professional when dealing with a customer or client to speak their language rather than say " bet she flies mate!!!"

The information i loved most was the maclaren f1 info i just relish facts like that and still cant believe it to be honest....

I think Paul now understands me and what i get out of it aswell and he gives me advice and has lent me a orbital and products to play with........

To be honest the thing i like most is that he is a very genuine guy and gets so wrapped up that i sometimes struggle to see what he does.......

For instance on the Bugatti detail when polishing after the wet sanding section he described how the heat would affect the polish on the sanded section and with an increase of speed to watch out for a change of oil structure and then bam "did you see it as he stopped........erm NO!"......

That was it i saw nothing but he knew exactly when to stop and change pad and product.........Experience i suppose!!!!!

Anyway i feel at home here and will post or give justin the chance to post all of our work and mine.......

I expect you,ve all seen the vxr astra detail and although the details have just gone over 9 million hits now and the server keeps crashing where they are linked to there are now some spoof details going round all the forums so my write ups have really taken the forums by storm.....

sit down have a beer and a laugh....

Marc, I'm sorry mate, but that is probably one of the funniest things I've ever read! Loved it!!!

Whoever wrote it had a lot of time on their hands, but sure it as hell was well worth it! Thanks for sharing!

What an amazing car the Veyron is. Something that comes to mind is the possible damage the front end is open to at the speeds this car is capable of. I'm sure most of us have had a hard shell bug or a small pebble bounce
off the road and hit our windshield or our bumpers. Can you imagine the impact of a very small pebble at 100, 150 or 200 mph. This would have to hit
with a force resembling a .22 caliber bullet. What a heart breaker that would
be. I don't think they make a clear bra thick enough to help in those conditions. For that reason I will not be buying the Veyron, oh and yes the price.

I wonder if they give you one of those little bottles of touch-up paint with
purchase of the Veyron? At no charge I would hope. If so I may be forced
to rethink my decision to purchase.
