Thanks....more like about a 9 hour job it was one filthy pup, and the arches just kept releasing dirt and paint leaching contaminants

I like a challenge...will book some holiday then

9 hours..... that is a good stint and no mistake. Worth it though.

Steve, I'm interested in one of those wheel arch brushes and the Tardis to get the wheel weights off with. do you mind me asking who your wholesaler is?

Not sure that tradis will be best procduct, probably something like this .... http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/engine-an ... d_586.html

On the subject of products I am in the process of speaking with suppliers of all the products I use to get them at re-sale rates so people can buy their detailing stuff direct from me and its like a product endorsement as I wouldn't resell stuff i dont use myself in my own details. Will set up a small paypal driven site and hope to offer some group buys maybe, but probably need to set myself up as a trader on here so will look into that.

One of the value add services I hope to add for people

Sounds good Steve, The choice can be bamboozling at times. I'd happily buy from a trusted source.
