HIDs and debadge for me!

Really not keen on the spoilers of skirts for the 197, the front lip looks OK though.

Oh and btw, I showed Dad pics of an RB R27 before you arrived and he went "meh". When I was done he couldn't stop chatting about how amazing the colour and paint looked :)

How's she looking today sweetness?

Actually that's more like 33:33:33 IP'd : IP spread on speed 4 : nothing

50:50 POW!

Flol, IIRC that's your paint skillz ;)

Yeah it really is great stuff mate. Haven't bought enough of it for my use (detailing a car a week atm :)) so will be ordering more since I got on well with it!

HA! I have to say that I agree. The main reason, IMO, is that the surfaces are so much wider and flatter than on 182's, meaning there is more surface shine. Gorgeous car to wax as well.

Just to give you lot an idea, it is no worse than this; Y reg Aston DB7 after being washed with a cloth and grit water for about 8 years.

Ali seems to like the 3M because of the finish and the price, Pete. Not tried it myself but the finishing compound is on my "next week list", since my Menz FF is running low. Have sod loads of IP left and love it, so, so, so much better than the Megs 80/83 twins! That is a good point, Pete...

Pretty sure they haven't even touched the swirls either, Pete. But my plan would be to start with the rear spoiler with some final finish on a finishing pad, see how that goes down, if not step up to something with a little more cut; pad likewise.

No comment on your dirty seats.

Bit 'o' under body, eh ;)

I love that word. It works better than an electric shock in the mornings. Should just get my phone alarm to shout that, would get me leaping out of bed ;)

For what, though, Scottish; that is the question ;)

I'm not sure, I haven't managed to chat to him this morning. Just to point out, unfortunately, as stated in a previous post, these companies should know what they are doing. People, who do not have a knowledge of car detailing (most of the general public let's be honest), are not going to know...

Lol, fishing per chance ;)

As Scottish has said, can't add much! I would certainly not be using it on the interior as I would be worried about staining/dulling interior materials. The key thing, with wheels, is that once they are clean, you need to protect them. Best case scenario is; Wash with something like AG...

Luckily the majority of paint marring, such as this, is actually quite easy to correct, once you have the right cutting polish and pads. I will be having a look at this once we both have time to meet up and I will post up a full thread on the correction, if Tim is prepared to trust any detailer...

Christ this doesn't look any better after a night's sleep!! Tim YHPM chap.

Pretty much all answers I would have put. But with one question. You say the paint is the same as before, what are you looking to achieve? You realise, of course, that it is design to remove microscopic dirt and tar spots, not correct swirl marks? Jamie

Standard rates for Clios are £85 for paint correction (about 8-10 hours work) or £150 for a full detail (more like 16 hours work as it includes wheels off etc). I should be mate, got a couple of offers of rooms. That sounds wrong! Be good to meet you pal! Tim, received the photos on my...

Ha, I'm sure :) Just s**t loads of bloody question threads ;)

Pah, **searches** ;)

Seriously Mike? Bloody hell, makes me so angry. Two failures within six months.

Sadly, these people aim at gents like Tim that are not going to know any better and therefore are willing to pay them good, hard earned, cash for what should be a relatively good service. In all honesty, it makes me sick. Edit; just to cover myself, there may have been an issue somewhere with...

I heard the LY looked like that, after one of your "pre-detailing bug" washes, Paul ;)

Hi guys and girls, one for those that have experienced this before and know good places to get this sorted. I have two Maxtor external HDD. Both broke within about 6 months of ownership (second was a replacement for the first, straight from Maxtor Europe, so now on my third replacement :mad:)...

Of course lad, not a problem at all. Best bet is if you send me some photos before you come up and I can judge what needs doing and let you know. If the whole car is like that then it will require a machine polish (about a day's work) so can book you in chap. Have fun in Cornwall, especially...
