Stone Chip Repair Guide

Thursday, December 25th, 2008

We have been asked a few times to show how to remove stone chips and scratches from a cars paintwork. The following “how to” shows the process we use to blend in unsightly chips and scrapes.

Correction using this method is around 95%+ and will cost you 1/10th of some smart repairers prices – plus the satisfaction of doing the job yourself!

Hopefully this will be useful to some people who are willing to give it a go – if not, leave it for a pro – you could be down to metal in minutes, so please follow this guide at your own risk!

What products do I need?

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008

Here at Midlands Detailing we have trawled the shelves of local suppliers, surfed the pages of online catalogues and tested the most exotic of products to find the ones that we are happy can provide the best value for money and will keep your freshly detailied car looking great for months afterwards.

As a normal car owner, going to these lengths to find a product for your car may seem a little exhaustive and would certainly be expensive. We have taken the most commonly asked questions and below is a list of items that we like and feel you should have to look after your pride and joy.

How often should I detail my car?

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008

The main reason is for contamination and defect removal, and to restore and protect your paint. How often you should have the car detailed depends on the conditions that it faces – we know all cars are different, and we try to tailor the protection to suit your needs.

Because of these reason we say you should detail when the condition of the paint has deteriorated. One thing is for sure – once you see the results you won’t be able to have a dirty car again!
