Yes but can work out an average hourly rate once you dicide the hours spent on the car.
No he doesn't. He charges per job.
One job he done worked out at £16 ph.
Yup just what Toby said. Finishing pad and just go over the areas with slow speeds. Fantastic product by hand and machine. Enhancement imo are much more fun that correction work...
See this thread mate, few thoughts on enhancements...
Know of this one Fenn? Always like the red ones and Silver wheels are win!

Is it worth spending that kinda cash on it mate? Or are engines dashboards ect cheap cheap?
I thought it was just a car to f**k about it now spend a fortune one?
Colour needs to be something that's not matt black.
Of course mate. I always recommend HD to people who are first into waxing. It really is perfect for peoples needs. So durable and pretty easy to use. Can't really ask for anymore imo.
It doesn't have a boutique feel but I doubt most enthusiasts are that bothered!
Haha! Indeed mate i've probably done more free jobs on performance cars than I have paid ones. I enjoy detailing and in return a lot of favours have been given back. :)
I don't work on generic motors though. I'd rather spend my Sunday chilling than work on an old C3 with sweets stuck to the...
Haha, good place to chat about products ect that you've used.
The thing is those 2 buys are decent so they're not wasted. They're both something to add into your steps. :)
The new RS one is super crap. The 197 is nice and not ghastly.
Car looks immense Jon. I did reply to your thread on the polishes btw. Sorry I was a bit late. :(
Indeed mate. I'd suggest the prima amigo for you though Jay as the Amigo has sealant bonding properties. So the AFPP will look simply stunning over the Amigo.
GEP, Amigo, AFPP and if you want you can then wax. :) Super wet!
Ian, any budget on a new wax? I think you need one. AG HD is only £25...
Simply immense worksmanship Jim. Porsche is up there with your best work.
I always found basalt a bit frustrating as it has soo much fleck it's never going to look "deep" black like the solid blacks out there or the less metallic ones.
The Porsche is another level. For a car of that age to...
Go to proplates and then go to show plates (give a f**k whether they are legal?)
Choose no border and no slogan and plain font. Then type in the reg. Simplistic and clean.
A lot of products can be applied by hand tbf. I've been doing a lot more hand detailing at the house. It's quite cool instead of dragging the machine around all day.
Definitely pick up Z8 Ian. It's just like a wax top up between washes. Just use it after drying the car. Maybe pick up a good...
Lols! Not at all mate. The Celeste is another level though. Price always reflects that though.
Vics is fantastic mate I think you'll be chuffed to bits with that.
I wouldn't bother with midnight sun mate. It's not worth the cash. Afpp gives a stunning base for most waxes.
Oh and the CD is 95+% full. Price.. Hmmm probably £85. Bought for £120. Comes with a new applicator from Chem guys and a brand new CG MF. :)
Rg55 is pretty epic. Very durable though! Like 6 months easily!
Solid wax mate and at 55% carnuba by volume it's up there with the big hitters. Think glasur is 66%.
Natty's paste, no mate. Vics knocks spots of that. Chem guys 50/50 is pretty epic leave it for hours and wipe it off with ease...
That's not research dude! ;)
It's best applied by foam app mate. Spreads like butter and on Red it's just immense!
For that price on Red it's hard to beat mate.
