Anyone here lend out their PC now and again ?

[Michael172]

So PC's cost a shitload to buy, i was wondering, does anyone here do a loan on them lol, i think i saw a thread about it once, reason being is when i polished my car the other week there were a LOAD of nasty scratches and swirls.

Typical Northener... not wanting to fork out themselves.... :evil:

Having said that it took me over a year I think to get round to it but thats more because I'm lazy...

MORE... considering it took me about 6/7 hours just to wash, clay then correct my car which only had very minor swirls... and then you will need the wheels, tyres, windows, plastics, shuts done too at a minimum, I would say even £100 is a bargain. So if you have bad paint and want your interior done too, double that at least.

Just think, it costs you at least £5 to get your car "cleaned" by Poles at your local supermarket, for that they will spend about 15 minutes smearing dirt all over your paint so it will cause more damage than good... paint correction and an overall good clean/protection and finish inside and out adds value to your car and vastly improves owner satisfaction. You get what you pay for at the end of the day. (Although not if you go to a dealer who will charge you anything up to £300 for a glorified wash, hoover and windows with (typically) low quality products which even if it looks ok when you pick it up, will not last very long.)

Could save money by doing the rest himself tho Brand and just hgetting someone to focus on the paintwork correction maybe cut it down to 3-4 hours

True say...If the paint was all prepped before hand and someone could just turn up, repair the paint then bugger off without touching anything else then that might be achievable. I would still recommend buying a PC and polishes yourself though... I have only done a couple of cars with mine so far and have had excellent results from the get go. I was surprised at how easy it was to use and the Menzerna polishes also worked fantastically.
