I think this would be great, we could do separate posts for cleaning, drying, claying, polishing, waxing, products to use, best practices ect. Lets make this happen



Definitely get something like this! Coming up for spring now so everyone's motors need to be looking their best

Well there will be plenty of people who will have great tips for detailing & hopefully we can review cleaning/detailing products

Firstly, I would like to apologise in the delay in replying to this thread. Thank you all for the comments, and I know a few poeple are going to be disappointed, but after discussions amongst the team we've decided not to go ahead with this.

If people want to show their tips for removing swirl marks and claying, and other cleaning/detailing advice advice etc, then please PM one of us a we will put it into the 'How To' section.

Then their final result pics can go into 'The Forecourt' explaining the products used.

I know a few regulars have taken a shine to the idea, but it was felt that by opening a new section for cleaning your car it would just open it up for repeated threads.

Thanks
The Team

As i said to Adam - I'm happy to add a section on ST-RS and you guys can link back to it but want to keep FFST down to a minimum. It works well that way and always been a key guideline to how we run the site.
