Default Polished Bliss® - Ne Plus Ultra LP560-4 HD Video...

Ok so it may be a little bit late (approx 5 months late ) in coming but finally we have part 1 of the latest Ne Plus Ultra Detail we did back at the start of July

There will be the usual full in depth write up with loads of pics to follow shortly (I've managed to edit just over 1,000 pics down to 600 so far!) but hopefully you will enjoy the HD video for now.

Obviously 10 days worth of work condensed into 5 minutes only shows a small portion of what was involved but we hope you like it

Due to the way the video is coded (stuff way over my head!) I'll have to link it to our new blog so grab yourself a coffee and click the link below

Thanks for viewing as always and feel free to ask any questions

Thats incredible! This isnt a pop in any way, but white must be one of the worst colours to show the work thats gone into it? Or am i talking out my arse? As i say though, incredible.

IMO white is the best colour to show the work that's gone into it. It's not easy to get good strong reflections and a real wet look on white. You really have to know what you're doing to get the best out of it

Stunning... Amazing... Fantastic... Any superlative will do

One question though, I notice that when using the polisher, the chap in the video seems to just guide it over the paintwork with no pressure. I've found the need to press down on it (which also destroys my hands after a while) to have any effect with G220. Am I doing something wrong?

Cracking information on the site as well

Different techniques and different paintwork require different pressure and speed of movement over the surface. Try the slow cut method Ross. Speed 3 at most, use enough pressure to just stop the head from fully rotating orbitally - this will avoid excess heat build up. Then move the machine about half an inch per second. It also comes down to your pad polish combo as well. What are you using and what are you correcting?

BTW - That's Clark in the vid
