All feedback and input welcomed

Hi guys... been working on a small project over the last week or so for another forum that I am a member of. Basically since I spend so much time blooming buffing and polishing my car, they all either ask my advice or ask me to do their cars !!

So I thought it would be useful to knock up some basic guides on the various steps in washing, cleaning and generally looking after your car. It must be stressed at this point that I am a fairly newbie at this game and am only drawing on my limited knowledge from experience and from the information I have gleaned from this forum and countless others. In addition I have used the Cleaning guides from Polished Bliss as a starting point as they have been a great inspiration for my work.

As you will see the guides are pretty 'basic' and they are still work in progress, but I would value any feedback from you lot. I have also started compiling a buying guide for all the steps mentioned and I have attempted to be non specific on which products I favour.

Finally, the name ' Polished Swiss ' was a bit of a mickey take as one of our members nicknamed me that...I take no responsibility for it and have sent copies of the guides to Rich and Clark for their approval

Anyway let me know what you think and here is the link to them.

Polished Swiss Cleaning Guides

All cleaning and buying guides are in a PDF format for ease of download and printing

The buying guide for wheels and tyres doesn't seem to exist. Says it can't find the "homepage you requested"

SwissTony

Yup, found the problem. Bloody '&' is the issue here. Stupid schoolboy error
Fixing it now.
oh and the Metalwork buying guide is offline right now as I cocked that up as well. That is what happens when you are drinking and typing

Crikey I thought I was ****

Seriously though cracking job Tony. All downloaded and sorted into a folder already !!

Very easy to read and understand and some good tips too

I hope you will still be able to buy your products from PB and not have to resort to an alias.

Great stuff, another good edition to the online libray of info available for folk to browse when advice is required. I actually creased up when I saw the Polished Swiss name... brilliant!

SwissTony

iTrader: (19)

Glad you liked it. Hope you saw that I had made the edits and acknowledgments for you

Just wondering where to stick them for people to have some permanent link for download.

Could always post a sticky in this section; list out of the guides in a hyper-link format, then post the thread and ask one of the mods to sticky it? Fine by me... bit like what we've done with the links to our guides.

btw, that wheel back brush i got from you a few weeks ago is brilliant.
