Hi Guys,

There are few of us here, but primarily it will be myself Pierre posting. On occasion you may find David or Lukasz also posting but i usually get onto it first (bit more organised? haha!)

On a business side of things, Car Care Products itself offer detailing help and advice including product advice, this also includes anything from general how to clay your car, how to polish and correct paint to a simple which car wash or how should you be washing your car sort of thing.

All of us do detailing or have in the past and know all the products a little too well! This is a combination of our obsession with clean / detailing ourselves but also wanting to know what each product can do and what it offers before we recommend something to you guys/girls.

Sadly, we are all car enthusiasts as well and many of us still attend regular car gtg's, meets and shows with our own cars. We all drive German makes/models however David has jumped to the dark side and got himself an 86..... we are still unsure whether to banish him or not!

So if you guy need any help, shoot a message via PM email [email protected] or just hit us up with a call on 1300 006 007 any time and ask whatever it may be. And i do genuinely mean whatever, from cleaning your wheels, interior trim dressings to a wax or how to clay - we are here to help out!

But a big thanks for allowing us to jump on board and provide some support and help to everyone, and of course get the chance to check out some nice rides on here as well :)

Cheers!

Pierre

Hello,
I have a 2012 Opel Astra Sports (red) which I try to take relatively good care of. I find that the duco (sp) is quite soft and susceptible to the slightest mark/scratching. This is a problem. I use a wax on it but it clearly doesn't give me the hard coating I desire. Interested in what you would recommend from the local auto shop? or would you recommend a professional job on it to seal and secure it?? Many thanks.

Hey mate, sorry for the super late reply we have been beyond hectic lately!

Take a look how your maintenance is first as this could be the cause of some of the marring on the paint. How do you wash/dry/and what do you use to do so as well? (Sounds crazy i know)

Thanks. I wash using quality soap and plain water and with a special sponge for washing cars.
I've just bought some Mother's wax which looks great and may do the trick.

Could be a small part of the issue!

You definitely should be using a Microfibre or Lambswool Wash Mitt - Why? - simply because a sponge will drag any dirt over the surface and continue to do so until you rinse. Where a microfibre/or lambswool will capture any dirt into the center of the weave and avoid dragging it over the surface. The other issue as well is that a sponge is synthetic, the dirt sits on the surface always. This is the most common way to mar the paintwork.

This also is the same for a chamois. The synthetics are the worst, followed by the genuine 'skin' type ones as well. Same principle as above basically.

2 Buckets when you wash is another key factor - 1 for your pH Neutral Wash Shampoo and 1 for your fresh water to rinse, see here for more info (http://howto.carcareproducts.com.au/)

Sounds crazy, but this is the most comment way of damaging paintwork.

Thanks again for the response. So maybe its my Chammois which is the issue which I use to dry the car. So I can use a microfibre to dry the car?

I would definitely consider to change, you can go for a microfibre chamois or a waffle weave. Whichever you feel more comfortable with at the end of the day!
