Cool. I maybe moving to Chesterfield or maybe Harrogate so I'll be needing someone local to do my detailing. I love the Drake Fields chaps but it'll be too far to get work done.

Keep us updated on the unit.

Just collected my car , absolutely amazed at what he has achieved . The colour has really changed and got some depth now . A real guy with an eye for detail and the skills to match :bowdown:
Hope he pops some pictures up
