It’s hard work cleaning cars when you are pregnant! And thats why there haven’t been any new articles in a while. But this site isn’t going anywhere and I will be back!
I check the forum every day and the Web Stig is occasionally adding to the FAQ section. So please make use of this website.

I think this would be pretty tricky, it depends on how you work. We have about 6 different ones depending on the level of service. I guess you will have to make your own according to how you do things.

Just taking on a second trainee valeter, have been looking for a single page checklist or form that would maybe have tick boxes for area’s of the car that have been cleaned. Also the list would act as a reminder to do do the detailing that is sometimes missed i.e inside fuel flap, interior vanity mirrors ashtry etc. Can anyone help?

Yes, but sometimes it can be difficult, time consuming and expensive, it depends on the paint and how hard it is. Most often, running a buffer over the car will just put more swirls in - to avoid this you need to go to the enth degree. Usually a better solution is to use a wax which hides swirls.

Is there any way to remove swirl marks from a black car? I’ve had several black cars and faithfully handed them over to valeters who promised the goods, but with no joy…

You shouldn’t apply a supagard sealant, it is for professional use only.
My friends at Supagard wouldn’t be happy if I gave you any other answer!

Should I wax a car before I apply a supaguard sealant?

In most cases, you can’t. It’s often the chrome that has been corroded. The only solution would be to re-chrome them, unfortunately, unless they are steel wheels from a vintage car, there is nobody doing chrome-over-alloy in the UK. It’s just too much of a difficult and expensive process… it would be cheaper to buy new wheels. So your only real alternative it to have the chrome stripped off and have them refinished with paint.

Do you know how to get the stains from chrome wheels? Thanks in advance.
