Carbon Clean - Perfect Touch Hoddesdon

Post by tommchowat » Wed Oct 11, 2017 10:09 pm

Hey guys,

If, like me, you don't have enough time to travel to MRC and leave your car there for days, and you don't really care too much about rolling roads and BHP numbers and just want to keep your engine healthy, I'd recommend these chaps in Hertfordshire. I took my M3 to them for a couple of bits, and there's always a Lamborghini or two in there having work done.

Great service by Gabs and the team. They had my car a day and a half to do the clean, and what a difference it's made. So smooth, and I've now got the 5.5k 'snap' where it feels like it's got a bloody turbo!

Before and after pictures below. Look at the state of it! Previous owners had never bothered I reckon.

Should be good for a mile or two now!

Now it's clean, keep it clean - get to 7k rpm at least once each time you take it out :)

You do know MRC do a same day clean for about £600? Fair enough if you don't want to travel there but if the reason to not go is because of the time it takes then it's worth pointing out they can do it quicker than you had it done for about the same price.

I messaged them and they said they would put the car on a rolling road, take a reading, advise a course of action, put it back on a rolling road and need it for at least 2 days! I've no time for that!
