car detailing

Post by p18bon » Sun Aug 23, 2009 12:42 pm

alright guys,

i had my car detailed last month, it was in some state after an accidnet i had.
the bodyshop i used did a great job on the paint - but the buffing ruined that.
rarher than a whole new paint job again - got a detailer out and what a difference!!!

the guy i used is from KG detailing
his name is Dave - guy really knows his stuff!!

here is the link for his write up along with pics of car before and after

http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/s ... p?t=129092

definitely worth a read and if ur looking for someone to detail ur car then i would highly recommend dave.
he came out with his colleague Gordon at 8am and didnt leave till 9pm the same day!!
13 hours, 2 guys - and £250 later ---- results are brilliant!!!

Stunning job, I wasn't aware that that kind of condition could be restored once you got swirls etc.

well I must say, that is look really good, infact im liking what you have done to your car, I like the CC alloys and mirrors, looks rather "stealth". I would be too scared to drive it lol

That is looking the biz..... loving the full blown stealth look including the mirrors

I wish I lived closer, as that for £250 seems a bargain, considering detailing prices I've seen

Are the alloys a gloss or satin finish?

That looks awesome!!

Detailing is a clever art, I have a mate who does it so he will be doing mine soon, can't wait!

Love that colour coding, thought it might be too much on a black car, but it just looks mean, love it!!!

thanks for all the comments guys

makes me feel a whole lot better :lol:

the good thing about the stealth look and the milltek is that my wife hates the car therefore refuses to be seen in it, which is great cos a can drive like a loony without the constant moaning!!!

yeh mate i wasnt aware either, but a good friend of mine had some work done on his type r not so long ago and when i saw that i was hooked on the idea!!!

all i can say is that for 250 sheets u cant go wrong - well worth getting it done!!

alloys are a gloss finish
as for living closer, give Dave a bell and he will arrange to come to you wherever you are

I think his £250 bill may go up a few quid coming all the way to Birmingham!!
