Carbon clean

[MikeFish]

Just read the ph thread and looked at the guys website. All looks right, just can't see how they can do all that for the money.

Isn't it cheap because he uses that spray to help clean and saves loads of hard scrubbing which is where the cost comes from?

I thought the time was in the removal and replacment of the inlet manifold.
I thought the walnut blasting was pretty quick once in.

I believe MRC don't use walnuts, they scrub by hand hence the high cost.

Ah, I thought I'd read they did. May have facts wrong. I'll ask tomorrow when I pick it up.

Just got off the phone to SW Autos and it's a manual clean with manifold off.

They need the car for a day and a half.

Cost £414 Inc vat.

I asked about the spray and the chap i spoke to said no, it's a manual labour clean.

Unless what they mean is they may use the spray to help in loosening/ scrubbing the carbon off but I'll speak to them again closer to the time when I feel mine needs a carbon clean.

At £400 that's something no you could factor into your yearly or bi yearly servicing.

Totally agree. Very good value indeed and at this price you can easily incorporate it as a service item carried out every couple years.

This is what I understood, spray to help loosen the carbon and manually clean easier.

Ah I see! Yes, I'm assuming the same as you

I would love to hear feedback from someone that's got SW to complete the work. I'm up for MOT in Oct which I would bundle with a service and probably a CC at that price. There's a few SW Auto's around, anyone got a link to their website.
