Detailing in the Midlands anyone ?

[r8byb]

Hey guys, my front bumper, rear arches and bonnet have bad swirling/chips that are just in the laquer but look terrible.

anyone in the midlands fancy making an improvement for me ? obviously for a fee

Cheers

Chancer! Just buy a PC!

 

[r8byb]

I thought that's what detailers are for ?

I will be buying a G220 - but i'd rather have someone with some experience do it

 

[Pedro]

Yeah, im in the same boat.

Im clueless on how to use one and the methods involved.


(btw Rob (is that your name?) im going to that garage you went to on Thurs..)

 

[r8byb]

Yep thats my name, which garage is that ?

 

[Pedro]

Same place you had your Coils setup.

They're doing mine and fitting my Milltek..

 

[r8byb]

powerstation in tweaksbury ? there really good

I'm coming back up to coventry tomorrow for uni again from the hols, but i wont be bringing the PC with me i don't think. Not enough room otherwise i would offer it. Might be coming back home in a week or 2, will see if i can bring it back up then/.

 

[Curley]

I'll do it but i've only got SRP at the mo? It will look better for a long time but no correction.

 

[r8byb]

Cheers Curley, but i think it will need a machine polisher for the bumper/bonnet Thanks tho

Pm Jay. He's based near Birmingham, detailed my monaco 172, great results. He'll show you where they remodelled his garage so he could fit a vee in!!

 

[The Boosh!]

dont think you will get it done for free..

Polish is pretty expensive.

I think you may get it done for cost of polish used covered and a bacon butty tho

I've got the g220 and get merz polishes in the next couple of days if you want to wait. Or the srp now

 

[r8byb]

I dont mind waiting dude till youve got the g220 and that , let me know how much you want via PM

 

[Curley]

lol i've got a g220

And it depends what you want doing?

Clay, polish, seal, wax, interior, wheels?? you tell me

 

[r8byb]

i ment the polishes lol

 

[Curley]

Yeah, i've wanted them for ages so i can get my car done.

what do you want doing then?

 

[r8byb]

front bumper, bonnet and rear arches where the stone chips are..

Depends what your up for doing lol

 

[Curley]

So you want the clay & polish anyway, do you want it sealing and/or waxing.

I can do your wheels ie deep clean, polish, seal.. also the arches while i'm at it.

Engine bay? interior?

entirely up to you

 

[r8byb]

would be good, and i can certainly help with the claying etc.

Pm a price - in excited its a state at the moment lol

 

[The Boosh!]

my bad hehe i canny read Id have popped along and done it if you was closer

 

[Curley]

Pleeeeease have a garage lol

I'm looking to order these in the next couple of days so it shouldn't be too long.

If you can, get some pics of the swirls etc. I wouldnt trust myself to do wet sanding on the chips because of never done it before, although i would like to learn and i've got touch up paint!!!

Not really, I made a thread about prices but thats no counting you

 

[The Boosh!]

Curley. Have a bash at repairing stone chips it really is easy... A very good Guide on DW in the guides section aswell!

 

[r8byb]

i'll try and get use of my old unit. I dont have a garage though but i should be able to sort something out

my mate had the same on his cup and managed to remove without wet sanding i believe but i dont mind you having a go on an area i'm intrigued to help too as i will purchase one eventually..

Swirls are very light not deep at all, it's been generally looked after, no sponges used etc

Just the chips, mainly the front bumper, but like i say, wet sanding the bottom part as a tester would be cool

Thats what made me want to try it but i dont seem to have any stone chips.

Really dont want to do it on your car, id be hunted down by people on here if something went wrong, it does look easy though :S Rob, have a look atthe guide aswell and we'll see

 

[r8byb]

i've looked and would feel fine doing it, just start off light grade ive been browsing detailing world for yonks lol

Other problem i have is i dont know if youve seen but the scratches on top of the headlights ?

oh and if the chips didnt come out it would only be resprayed anyway

 

[The Boosh!]

to remove scratches on headlights i sand em with megs fine grit wet and dry and puff em up with the g220 + 3G polish

 

[Curley]

I had scratches on the headlights of my 1.2, they just polished out

 

[r8byb]

lol, mine are really bad in the top corners, you up for it then ? PM me a price for..

Clay, front end PC'ed, rear arches PC'ed and headlights... our full car.

+ seal/wax Not bothered about engine or inside

Thanks
