The Ultimate Rescue Detail

Post by HYFR » Mon Jul 08, 2013 8:47 pm

I had drake fields work their magic on my poor old R8 V10.

I bought the car quite cheap knowing it needed rescuing.

I think you'll agree Lanré at Drayke Fields has come good yet again with top top service.

I couldn't recommend him higher and will defo be using him again.

He has a secure professional unit and is very helpful, trustworthy and honest.

I travelled from London to use him and would recommend you give him a call if you are considering giving your car a detail.

He is also offering a forum discount ;)


Any way...link:

Stunning Dave - absolutely stunning 8)

I was impressed with what they did to Homer but this transformation is even better. Can I ask how much they charged for that (PM me if you'd prefer)?

Another great job by Lanre, I take it the weather was miserable on pick up. No outside sunshine shots :D

All those smoothed surfaces must have shaved at least 0.1 secs of your sprint times :D

Can you get any specifics on what they did/used? I could use whatever they did to your nav screen as mine has a couple of scratches across it from whatever the previous owner used to clean it! :bash:
2009 Sepang Blue C6 RS6 Saloon - H&S exhaust with de-cat and Vabric valves - Stage Two MRC next!

Someone did post up a good product to clean the sat nav screen not so long ago. I will have a search to se if I can find the post.
