My blue ds3

[CliveP]

Looks great! Is that the Belle el Blue or whatever it's called?!

That's a colour I would certainly consider and I'd love to fully detail one, I think there's loads of depth of shine waiting to come out from that paintwork (sorry, obessive compulsive detailer who wants to machine polish that!)....

Regards,
Clive.

Can you point me to a guide that tells me what order to clean/detail a car. Such as interior first,
hoover before polish? You get the idea.

I gave it a full detail as soon as I got it: rinse,foam,wash, ironx, clay, polish, glaze and wax! Il take some pics after that when i get chance. You can come and polish it any time you like Clive

Hi Jim, the back to basics course I help run goes through the main order for the wash process, which is the critical part of the process in order to minimise the risk of inflicting swirl marks, etc. As interior is completely different to exterior you can do interior first then exterior, but my preferred option is always start outside, with thorough de-contamination first before wash then all the 'dry' stuff. Way to much detail needed to write her Jim, but take a look on detailingworld in 'Autobrite's' section and look for the back to basics course - you'll see I've listed out all the stages which matches the order they are done in.....it's one course I love delivering as always gets great feedback...

Great to hear you're into detailing Joe! Drop me a PM if you want any advice on waxes as I think there's one or two that will help your car bling even more! That is a nice colour for sure!

Clive.

Nice! Mine is exactly the same but no chrome strips on the doors. i've only seen one other physical DS3 the same colour as mine around where i live and it's a driving instructors car.
