    Here are some before and after photos of some detailing to a white DC5R done today.

    All the paint inside the doors,boot and bonnet were stained like a browny color. Some before and pics of that. Just a simple polish or wash would not remove the stain.

        Thanks dude! Great results

        Some of the headlights.

        removed all the outside oxidation possible. Think the rest is pretty much on the inside.

        Before : Very hazy


        After : Hazynes mostly gone and only left with spottyness

                    In my experience I would highly recommend Zaino Z2 for light coloured cars and Zaino Z5for dark cars.

                    The above being said, I would strongly encourage anybody who wants to look after their car properly to contact http://www.waxit.com.au in Tullamarine Victoria, which I think is the same company as carcareproducts.com.au, but in Victoria!!!

                    Waxit run detailing workshops where they show you exactly what to do and what products to use. The workshop costs $30.00 and they give you $30.00 credit to spend on in their shop, so in fact the course is free. You might need to call to ask what dates are available as the dates on the website have past.

                    All the best,

                    David

                              Correct me if im wrong, but you can 'cut n polish' a car so many times? Correct?
                              Cause you are taking a very thin layer of paint off everytime you cut it yes?

                              By the way, you did a great job.
