Hello from Dave KG
« on: November 06, 2008, 02:37:00 pm »
Hi folks, 182_blue contacted me over on Detailing World about putting some of the guides I have written in the detailing section which I was more than happy to see posted :)  I thought I'd pop over for a look and see if I can help anyone with any detailing queries that they may have.

Have been an enthusiast detailer for a few years now, and enjoy teaching and demonstrating to others the techniques of detailing so perhaps one day, a little meet for forum members wanting to learn how to detail could be organised, who knows?  :)  In the meantime though, I will happily help out with any queries from what shampoo to wash with to how to wetsand, and any product reviews that I think will be of interest to you, I'll post up :)  (I stress, I dont sell detailing products, I am simply an enthusiast who enjoys detailing!)

I dont own a Golf  :surprised: ...  but hopefully I'll be able to share some useful detailing tips :)

Cheers for the kind welcomes guys  :happy2:

I drive this Sweedish cruise ship, shown here after I prepped it for the winter by machine polishing and using a fairly new to the wide market wax called Valentines Concours Wax which I am testing for performance on my car...





















And for the arty...

















Its a D5 model, 185bhp engine and is shifts well for a car of its size and weight, economy not dreadful ar around 43 - 45mpg at the mo (doing advanced driving course with IAM and my economy is climbining)...  best bit about it though is the cab, which is why I bought the car:  big comfy seats for long drives  :happy2:

I must admit I remember sitting in a Volvo  Showroom everyday after school about 6 years ago and my first car love was a Volvo. Such underated, Sleek and pleasureable vehicles  :driver: 8)

Hi Dave
Welcome to the forum  :smiley:
I have read many of your guides and posts, (Also a DW member since 2006) and found them invaluable during the learning stage of my detailing hobby. Your claying guide is top notch.

Fantastic to have you here  :happy2:
