We had this lovely Range Rover Evoque in with us for some isolated scratch removal as well as receiving as single stage polish to unleash the colour, gloss and flake.

The car with only 3000 miles on it has one very careful owner but they knew there were a couple of issues which needed rectifying.

After thoroughly cleaning and decontaminating the Range Rover was pulled into our unit for inspection. We isolated the worst of the RDS (Random Deep Scratches).

The Evoque was then treat to a single stage polish to remove and reduce the other instances of marring. This resulted in a major increase from the colour with incredible depth and gloss from the paint.

We will be seeing the Range Rover Evoque again for a deeper correction but for now our client is very happy the extremely glossy and incredibly deep clarity the paintwork now shows.

We have changed one of the cars in the DWR fleet. We just picked up this brand new Mini Cooper S.

Its such a fun little car and the electric blue colour suits it so well!

To be fair to the dealers they haven’t done a bad job of prepping but once we have had it under the lights it will be looking even better!

Expect to see a lot more of our Mini Cooper S over the coming months!

We had this lovely little MX5 Mk4 stop by to get a quick service.
Photos were taken right after the wash stage and before any dressings were applied.

It is a great example of how the right products and techniques combined with experience, give great results.

We are always happy to try out new products and see how they perform. Shane of High Definition Detail sent us over some of his fallout remover Ferrous Ferric.

Ferrous Ferric is an IRON Fallout Remover Gel with superb clinging ability, quick reaction times & low scent.

A Gel Type Fallout Remover that will safely and effectively release IRON contaminants with ease, developed to cling on surfaces with a longer working time to capture IRON ferrous metals and IRON fallout particles indicating in an active colour change.

Ferrous Ferric is pH neutral and is safe to use on paint, wheels, glass and all other automotive surfaces.

For the first test of Ferrous Ferric. We are giving it a test on these rather heavily contaminated wheels.

The wheels where liberally sprayed with Ferrous Ferric. After a few short moments the reaction had started to take place.

You can very clearly see this working as the contamination turns purple.

Initially very impressed with how fast the reaction took place. Another small pleasantry is that HHD Ferrus Ferric does not smell as bad as other fallout removers. Any one who has used a fallout remover will know that if the product has even slightly less scent then its a bonus.

The product is thin enough to spray but the gel formula is thick enough that it clings to the surface brilliantly.

The only thing left to do now is rinse of the wheel and see how effective it is!

As you can see from the photos above.

It has performed brilliantly! Just with a rinse under pressure and you can see the contamination being simply washed away.

This is exactly what you want from a fallout remover.

We are very impressed that with such a fast reaction time that it still is effective. We have tried many fallout removers where they have that great “bleeding” effect but sadly they lack the power to do anything substantial other than look good.

This is not the case with HDD Ferrus Ferric.

Over all we are very impressed and will continue to use it.

We will soon be doing a test of HDD Ferrus Ferric vs paint work to see just how effective it as part of the decontamination process.

We thought today would be a good time to write a little review of Auto Finesse’s Revolution Wheel Soap.

An advanced deep cleaning wash solution designed to break down brake dust and road grime whilst being gentle to painted, polished, anodised and other specialist finishes. Also helps in maintaining the life span of wheel sealants.

To give Auto Finesse Revolution a fair test we chose to test it on the Land Rover Discovery which hasn’t been cleaned for around 4 weeks.

As you can see from the photo below, the wheels were ready for the a good clean!

Directions for use

Add 2 – 3 capfuls to a bucket of fresh cold or warm water.

Apply liberally to the surface with a brush.

Agitate to a lather.

Rinse thoroughly and dry.

We got our wheel bucket and added 3 cupfuls of Revolution to the bucket then filled it with fresh water.

Surprisingly it created quite a lot of suds and it has a pleasant fresh scent.

Using a combination of small brushes as well as our trusty wheel woollies we proceeded to agitate the wheels.

Making good use of the wheel woollies to reach the back of the wheels and not forgetting the rear of the spokes.

As we worked our way round the wheels, it easy to see dirt and grime being safely removed.

Once we were happy with the wash process we gave the wheel a thorough rinse.

As you can see from the photo above. Auto Finesse Revolution Wheel Soap certainly does exactly what its designed to do but not only that it does it to a very good standard.

Overall we are very impressed with the Revolution Wheel Soap from Auto Finesse. It will be staying in our kit for some more testing.

We need to test it against some really grubby wheels to see just how well it holds up over traditional wheel cleaners.

On unprotected wheels or wheels with little protection it it certainly has enough “bite” to give very good cleaning power.

On protected wheels I’m sure Auto Finesse Revolution Wheel Soap will perfect on its own, with its great cleaning abilities  without reducing the protection on the wheels.

We will however always use it with our wheels bucket to aid in the cleaning when using the brushes and wheel woollies. We would normally use a normal shampoo mix but having a dedicated wheel soap is only going to further enhance the cleaning power when used in combination with a wheel cleaner.

We often get ask what is the best product? What is our favourite product? Is Product X better than Product Y?

So we thought we write a little post showing just some of the products we used when we visited the Porsche 911 GT3 RS.

We are big fans of Gyeon Bathe+

Its not very often that we get a product and have to do a double take (and we are not the only ones who are impressed by it).

Based upon the same pH neutral formal as the regular version (Gyeon Bathe) but it is rich in SiO2 polymers. While providing impressive cleaning power it also leaves behind a temporary hydrophobic coating. This enhances the surface gloss while leaving a surface that repels water dirt & grime easily for several weeks.

The shampoo is lovely and slick and only a small amount is needed per bucket.

Even on the the first use on an unprotected car it gives crazy water behavior that’s simply a joy to see. But using it on well protected car it will only enhance and prolong the hydrophobic properties of the coating.

Gyeon Q2M Bathe+ can proudly call itself as the world’s first pH neutral shampoo containing SiO2.

The forward thinking from Russel behind SiRamik (You will have already seen the details we have done using the fantastic SiRamik SC15)

Its hard to find a dressing which seems to tick all the boxes. However we are really big fans and incredibly impressed with SCTT.

A slightly viscous liquid, thin enough to spray while also thick enough to pour directly onto an applicator pad makes it a very versatile product.

We used it extensively on the trim around the Porsche 911 GT3 RS. What we like about SCTT is the fact that it enhances and protects the surface with out changing its colour (it will darken trim slightly) but it helps keep an OEM look.

When used on plastics and trim it gives a very even finish and its very rare that second pass is needed.

When applied to tyres it leaves a lovely fresh finish. It is a no sling formula which unlike some other products its not going to spread half way up the side of your car the second you drive off!

If your looking for a new trim or tyre dressing to try then SC-TT is certainly one that should not be overlooked!

Auto Finesse Dressle is a water based dressing and it is extremely easy to apply. It can be either sprayed directly on to the surface or applied via an applicator or cloth depending on the area of the vehicle you are working on.
It is a highly versatile dressing which is  also great for dressing hard to reach areas such as wheel wells and engine bays.

We used it in the engine compartment of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS. While its is not a lot to see here just lovely carbon interlaced with some plastic. Dressle was a great choice for coving both surfaces. We could of use SCTT for the plastics, how ever with the fans hiding in there we opted for Dressle as we can simply spray onto the surface and leave it to dry to that lovely OEM finish.

Its also great for those pesky honeycomb grills which can often be a very time consuming process but dressle certainly speeds that up!

Auto Finesse Mint Rims wheel wax lives up to its name: it protects your rims with durable synthetic waxes, and keeps them in mint condition. Mint Rims alloy wheel sealant slick, high-gloss finish helps to repel damaging brake dust, and makes future wheel cleaning a snap. Once applied, the need for dedicated wheel cleaners is greatly reduced, and a pH neutral car shampoo is all that is required to bring back a sparkling fresh finish.

Mint Rims is created from a blend of high temperature synthetic waxes, and fast flashing solvent carriers. This blend of ingredients helps to seal your wheels from hot, corrosive brake dust and oxidation, while holding up against the rigors of the road. The durability on average is 2-3 months between applications, even on performance vehicles subject to frequent high-speed braking(so we will see just how the it holds up to the abuse the Porsche 911 GT3 RS will give it!)

Application is very easy, simply use an applicator pad and apply to the wheel leave for a few moments / minutes and buff off. Goes on very easy and buffs off just as easy.

Mint rims as you guessed has a very pleasant mint scent to it.

Auto Finesse Desire is quite simply one of our favourite wax’s. While its price tag is in the £100+ category its certainly worth the money.

Desire started life as a limited edition paste wax that crowned our line in 2011, but after all 500 pots were sold our Auto Finesse customers simply wouldn’t allow it to be consigned to the history books. Back by popular demand, Desire once again stands tall alongside some of the most exclusive waxes that the world has to offer. With the highest carnauba solids content of all Auto Finesse waxes. A unique melding of beauty and performance.

Auto Finesse Desire is simply a dream to use. Application is very easy and a little wax spreads a long way. Removing is very easy, if applied correctly there is little to no residue left behind and dusting is minimal if any!

Its characteristic purple colour is only topped by its great scent; which makes application a pleasure.

Its been another long month. But we wanted to take a moment to show a little recent work we have been doing.

The i8 which you will have seen many times will be going to its new home shortly (keep your eyes peeled to see whats replacing it!)

We also spent a littlle time on the Discovery this weekend giving it some much needed attention. Both the BMW i8 and the Land Rover Discovery are on our regular maintenance plan so that we can keep them looking their best at all times of the year!

We would like to introduce the Porsche 911 GT3 RS! This incredibly stunning car is now on our regular maintenance plan. We feel privileged that we get to make sure that this stunning car is looking its best in between track sessions!

Our client has recently purchased the 911 GT3 RS ready to push its limits around the track. Its always great to see a car that is meant to be driven get the drive it deserves rather than just spending its life under cover in a garage! There will be some serious detailing sessions ahead for DWR Detailing! Expect to see a lot more of this car (I’m sure you wont complain!)

We cant believe its already half way through March of 2016! So far his has been an incredibly busy time for us!

We have not had chance to post much in the blog, but we dont want feel the need to post a photo of every time we work on every car. Quite a of our regulars you will have seen over the past few months

Looking after our regular clients and getting their cars prepared ready for the coming months to make sure they look their best.

Why not get in touch and discuss getting you own vehicle on a regular maintenance plan

We have some new products we have been testing over the past few weeks so expect some full reviews as and when we get time!

We couldn’t make a blog post with out at least including a few photos. These are from the Discovery we look after which is on our regular maintenance plan.
