Audi A3 2.0 TDi Pre-Sale.
I was contacted to see if I could spruce the A3 in readiness for a private sale within the next few weeks.
Being a fairly local job I was able to squeeze it in over the Bank Holiday Weekend.

Ford Fiesta Zetec S
Having been subjected to several bodyshop visits within the last year or two, the Fiesta was in need of a good tidy up.
The work was carried out on the owners’ car whilst they were away – not a bad surprise to come home to, hey?

Thanks all. There's always great feedback here at CS.net. You friendly bunch you :D
If you liked that interior, you'll love this one! http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?509666-Audi-A3-Interior&highlight=

But a single day works for a paint correction can vary anywhere between 100 / 250 dependant on he/she that does it.
Depends on severity of defects and % of correction required. Putting a...
Citroen C3 – Interior only
This one was passed through as a referral job from a previous interior detail. The C3 was a new purchase for my client in town; my brief was to revive the interior back to a factory finish.

lol. Easy tiger.. Maybe I'll catch up with the latest later on.
Never got on with these for Glass - I use something similar and they seem to leave tiny bits of lint on glass? Use for everything else exterior though! :)
lol. Well, can guarantee you will have no problems with this: http://www.i4detailing.co.uk/acatalog/3M_Glass_Cleaner_1.html
JD, a very worthwhile purchase. I used to HATE doing glass. Now, it's a dream! (damned cheap, too!)
Audi RS2
Much like the Boxster S, I last visited this car in the back end of 2008.
Having returned from the bodyshop and after covering some 5000 miles, it was time to clean the old girl up again.

Porsche Boxster S
Having first worked on this car back in November 2008 it was well overdue its clay, cleanse and protection top-up.
Aswel as the full interior works inc. leather care, the hubs wanting painting also.
Not many photos taken throughout – weather gave grief and had...
Interesting to see the tests on the bonnet - keep us posted RE the durability on the Nanolex side of things.
How did you get away with using 3M FastCut+ as a single pass? Or, did you make second refining pass afterwards with a finer combination?
Here's what I use: http://www.elitecarcare.co.uk/giant-professional-microfibre-towel.php?cPath=64
Coupled with 3M's Glass Cleaner and a foam applicator, it's a leathal combintation :D
Thanks Kris.
It didn't happen overnight thats for sure! It's all about word of mouth; the only advertising expense I've pushed has been for business cards and vehicle sign-writing... Prior to going live on 6th April 2009, I'd been working as a 'weekend-warrior' 3 years prior to that (working...
Awesome response guys - thanks.
Fresh paint isn't a worry so long as it's a good job and fully baked!
Yeah man, 203s is great. My go to polish for all my "Gloss enhancement" jobs where full correction isnt required.
If i had a spare £20k sat around, I would :cool:

Audi RS4 – Daytona Grey Pearl
This one left its mark with me (quite literally… (more on that later)). A truly stunning vehicle and a massive eye opener to the RS range that Audi produces.
I was fortunate enough to drive this throughout the detail stages; a collect and deliver service...

A two day visit back to one of my regulars in the Midlands.
Day 1 was spent maintaining the Porsche 997 Turbo and the Mercedes GL420. Day two, a New Car Gloss Enhancement Detail was given to the daily driven Ferrari California.

A good chance it will make an impact, yes. Might be worth getting a dedicated Tar remover on there first..

There should be some new photos to post later this afternoon as I went along to the FOC (Ferrari Owners club) in Stratford over the weekend.. It was amazing!
:dapprove: Sorry Jamie.

As said, I'm using the Chicargo; it's lovely. A dated unit now, but, more than capable. I had the SIM180 but one thing after another, it gave up.. I actually brought a brand-firing...
