    Turning Garage Into Detailing Studio

    Made a little more progress today with the help of a sparky! Now have 6x super bright slimline LED lights on the ceiling and one on each wall to give extra light to the lower parts of the car. I have also fitted two electric heaters to the walls near the door to keep things warm when needed...

    Turning Garage Into Detailing Studio

    The bottles arrived!! I actually use very few (if any on occasion) Autoglym products but as I want to keep things as tidy and minimalist as possible I shall be decanting my usual products into these bottles then labelling to keep things uniform.

    Turning Garage Into Detailing Studio

    Fitted some racking for bottles they hold 16 which covers the majority of products used but can always add more! I have also ordered 20 bottles and triggers so that I can decant my various branded chemicals into them and keep everything looking tidy. Will label each one but OCD wants all bottles...

    Turning Garage Into Detailing Studio

    I think they cost about £315 and I was left with spares. They are honestly really decent quality and I would recommend. If you Move house can always take the non-cut ones!

    Turning Garage Into Detailing Studio

    I have actually ordered some of these racks for the walls for the same reason pal One day I will look to plaster but keeping on a budget for now as a little one on the way. It’s a Garador buddy, has a rubber strip on the floor. And some rubber strips on the sides.

    Filled the gaps and insulated the door; I doubt it will make much of a difference but worth a try!

    Unfortunately they are not products for retail just for commercial use that are mixed at 1000l levels I am afraid buddy.

    Turning Garage Into Detailing Studio

    The garage was the perfect width for the tiles so you are left with tabs running down the edges. I could have bought a load more and then attempted to cut down but it’s really hard on a jigsaw to get a perfect line so easier and smarter option is to add skirting to hide the edges of that makes...

    Turning Garage Into Detailing Studio

    A mixture but I actually own a cleaning company and we manufacture some chemicals ourselves. Plan when money permits is to have the walls insulated and plastered etc so this is a short term solution. Great idea on the foam on pipe!!! I planned to insulate the door and fill the gaps so it’s on...

    I Bought a 172 Cup...

    I am currently turning the Clio’s Home into a Detailing Studio and so thought I would share the progress here as well. The floor was coated with 3 coats of concrete sealant and I have fitted some hard vinyl tiles. Annoyingly it was raining today so while out the car is now dirty! I have an...

    Hi Guys, I have been restoring a Clio 172 Cup as and when I have free time as you may have seen on my project thread. I am now in the process of creating a Detailing Studio and thought you may be interested to see the progress. I started by sealing the concrete floor with 3 coats of a basic...

    I Bought a 172 Cup...

    Changed all the bulbs to white LED’s and replaced the rear numberplate light casing. Managed to get a set of new badges for the rear on this afternoon as well, and a genuine Renault Elf window sticker. The rear is now looking a lot tidier than when I got it. Just waiting on...
