Thanks again guys.
Belgium (the EuroSunday show I went to) was a blast. Quite amazing what can be achieved in the space of a day... (Managed 25 hours with only 20 minutes powernap on the eurotunnel on way home last night)
Photos from the trip will be online later - keep an eye on my Facebook...
I feel honoured, best yet!? Mwahhaa
Much appreciated guys.
Just woken up; managed to catch ~3 hrs sleep before setting off down to Folkstone for the ferry. Going to be epic. Those that follow my Facebook Page will see the updates. It's going to be drive > ferry > drive > show prep > redbull >...
Thanks guys.
I try not to give prices on public forums - it's always down to the individuals needs so priced accordingly. In this instance I went a little over on my quoted time; 27 hours. Had given figures between £450 and £500 but more than happy with the result.

Hi all, flatout this week. Two 3 day major corrections back to back totalling some 52 hours. The RS4 and then an e60 BMW which will follow early into next week (off t'Belgium shortly on a bit of a roadtrip to support my friend who's off to a VW show)

Sorry Matt, got an email earlier stating you'd tried but failed :dapprove:. Inbox cleared, feel free to try again! (although you may have to bear with me with a responce, going to be getting to bed soon (yes, it's 4:20pm) as I'm off at 11pm on a roadtrip t'Belgium. 52 hours put into two Major...
Hi Jimbo,
Sorry for late responce.
Er, usually, I never have to use anything more than Jeffs Prime and a cocktail stick? Seems you nay have an extreme case going on here. Can you photograph it at all for me?
Many thanks all.
Gally, RE Supernatural... No, not really!? Andy had mentioned that previously the car had been maintained with SN so I thought I'd continue the trend.
My friend Adam (with the Corrado) hopes to pick up a 182 soon, so, a case of watch this space I guess as I know it'll be...
Thanks everyone
Andy, cheers for email - will update site when I'm home.
I received a few attempted PM's, at the time my mailbox was full so haven't been able to check them... If it was you, feel free to try again! :)
Good point, leeds. TBH, the only time consuming side of the photos is this back-end stuff; processing them to get'em online.
Once set up for the day, the camera is just 'there' - literally five seconds to pick it up and snap and photo... End of the day, it's how I sell my work! (plus, Andy...
Hi all, finally, something I can contribute to the CS.net forum with! :approve:

Nice cars the 335d, Chris! I'm actually up your way for the next three days; keep an eye out for the blue avant!
Cheers Gally - still wasn't 100% i'm afriad; too many nasties to begin with... TBH, not sure if I have ever done a complete '100%' job! ;)
Thanks d4vy/tommys.
JMR, heh yeah, new...
^haha. recently took delivery of the new Iron-X batch which is supposed to smell better... "squashed flowers" (WTF)?
A quick whiff and it still made me sick a little inside.
Cheers guys.
Daniel, I know.. recently though I've seen lots of ex-demo, 'approved' used cars and cars with merely delivery miles on the clocks in a poor, poor condition. It annoys me that the main 'multi-million pound' Group dealers are getting away with it. Sytner for example. Massive! (yet...

See you tonight Andy!
If the weather stays fine, I may even get the 'wet-work' done this evening for an early start tomorrow straight onto the machine.
Local'ish Tobz, yeah - half hour or so. Think I'd actually give my left testicle for one.
Cheers Tommy!
Tomorrows mkv Golf has turned into an e91 335i Tourer. *eek* Single day enhancement here we come.
Interested to see the result of this one.. Do you know the products he'll be using? (polishes, pads etc?)
Once finished, get the car under an intense direct light source and take us a few pics.
Cheers guys.
Nice - thanks man. Will let you know if he gets in touch!
I like it. Doddle to use, too. I left the RS owner with my pamper-pack which is the wash essentials but he wanted something to help keep on top of the finish.. Linked him through to Jeffs as A) it looks great on lighter...

Hi all.. I've just had a look at my profile page, my last thread was the DBP mkiv R32! :quiet: Sorry about that!
Anyway, here's my latest (the Audi), and, another recent which might be of interest to you.

Been on the books for a little while this one. I...
As above really, some of the prices are spot on. A "minor paint correction" (single-pass enhancement) would come in at around £200-250 on a single days work and "major correction" £300+.
I'm based just up the '46 from you, Andy. Let me know if I can help at all.
What are you currently using?
When you start a job, you don't want to go balls-deep from the word go.. you're right to start mild and then, if needs be, work your way up using more aggressive polish/pad combos.
"spend less time on each section", not really, no. You'll need to fuilly work each...
haha! Ahh, to be honest, I haven't posted the TT anywhere other than on WD.co.uk and of course Facebook - with it only being a small 'new car protection' job.
Something to look forward to this week though - full interior/leather, hub painting and minor correction on a...... Well, you'll just...
