Ferrari F50
How lucky am I? Having previously worked on the owners F355 Spider, Porsche and Mercedes, I was asked to return to complete a similar job on his pride and joy.. a Ferrari F50.
“The Ferrari F50 was designed to commemorate Ferrari's 50th anniversary in 1996.

Sorry JP,
I had the mail come through saying mailbox full!
There should be some space in there now; try again if you could.
Scottthurlow, best bet is to PM me my friend.. Your requirements, car specs, location, contact details etc....
Volkswagen Golf R32 – Dodo Juice Enhancement and Protection
A 2008 model with only 8k miles on the clock. Minter!
Mission was to spruce the engine, tickle the interior and lift the paint slightly in terms of gloss and add some protection.

Thanks fella. Yeah - I admit, I was actually looking forward to this one as it'd been a while since I'd tackled a silver car! I have a MKV R32 on Thursday to look forward to now too! :)
Again, thanks for all the kind support everyone :approve:
Certainly is. I know what you mean; I'm constantly knackered at the minute. FAIL!
The trouble is, most people wouldn't spot them. Their eyes aren't 'trained' to spot them as such.. Only if you caught it in the right light at the exact...
Thanks all.
A few mixed reactions RE the wheels, SC03OTT tbh. Personally, I find they set the car off quite nicely - maybe they 'did it' for me more whilst in the flesh as it were...
Richy, this is my full time now. Took the plunge back in April 2009.

There will be a few more answers for you over on DetailingWorld RE this.. Rob @ Gtechniq is a very nice and helpful chap, I hear good things about their kit, esp the trim dressings etc, but, yet to get my hands on any and trial them.
VW Golf GTi MKV – Dodo enhancement detail
A very clean car to begin with. So much so, it was difficult to make much of an impact as it’s been so well looked after already! A single-pass with Lime Prime was used to remove the surface haze and add gloss to the already spangling paint...
Me again - another big black bus to share with you.. This was compelted earlier in the month but forgot to post it here it would seem.. :dapprove:. Enjoy!
Land Rover Discovery 3 – Minor Correction
Work started on the Monday morning and was finalised late Wednesday afternoon. ~24 hours...
By the time you have snowfoamed with an apc mix or similar, washed, clayed, polished and cleansed, there will no wax left for you to worry about. Go ahead then with your fresh applications and layer as you wish.
:approve: Thanks dude.
Cheers - I quite enjoyed this one myself!
As above Gally.. You can inflict damage by incorrect wash technique for sure, but, in this instance, the marks seen are the results from (as budgie rightly says) a too harsher polish and pad combination when it was last...
Ferrari 355 Spider
I was first introduced to the F355 back when I worked on the households’ family car, the Mercedes GL420:
Taking a cheeky moment to check the paintwork on the Ferrari, I noticed some pretty wicked buffer-trails and swirls in the paint. The work of a...
It comes with 'a' attachement for cleaning, but, for seats and automotive carpets, its far too big. (only good for house carpets etc)
You'll need to pick up one of these: http://www.espares.co.uk/part/vacuum-cleaners/vax/6131/p/1086/694/110/508981/508204/upholstery-wash-tool.html
Certainly is mate. VAX6131. Cost me around the £100 mark I think..
*edit - its a bit of a pain having to change the filters from wet to dry use etc and setting it up, but, overall, a tidy bit of kit.
Hi all, here's my latest installment.. A bit of a 'fail' mid-way through, too.. :dapprove:

Cheers all.
Car should sell easily enough now (just needs the exterior given a bit of TLC now!) :approve:
Time taken was around five hours if I remember correctly..
Real nice work there lady. I like the wellies, too! :)
It's an effort to spend the day working and then find the time to document it afterwards eh? Worth it in the end though.
Well done! :)

It's very hit and miss with Lime Prime. The Merc was awfully swirls and scartched; LP literally took off the light wash marring that was seen 'ghosting' the sides of the car. Sometimes a curveball will be thrown (a black Audi RS6 Avant for instance; LP gave some 80% correction). It's...

Mercedes E-Class - Dodo Juice Enhancement & Protection.
I last visited this car August last year. Since, it’s had nothing other than the weekly wash, so, more than ready for the complete strip-back and cleanse session!
