although im no professional at it!Just drop me a PM if you want to talk to me about it. I live near Eastwood, Notts.
Dont worry about it lolJimWD is best bet fella, I would let him do my car and let's be honest, with my anal OCD that's saying a lot.
Top fella, exceptional work and puts my obsessiveness to shame!
edit; not taking anything away from you Harpham fella
Im the very same with my car, which is why im always very careful when thinking about letting others touch it! I dont even like my dad going near it lol!
Lol my dad doesnt look after his cars though, so I dont him near mine as I dont want him doing any damage to itAnd now see this is interesting as my dad won't go near mine, even if asked to help. He also won't touch the R8 since I detailed her this weekend . . . pics to follow
.When he does do repairs or something he has the attitude that if the normal way of doing something doesnt work, then force will.... Which often ends in damaging something :S The reason why with this car, any repairs that it needs will be done at a garage!

OK, I'll explain this a little bit more.
Mopping is the correct term for using a sanding machine and a buffing pad to remove scratches and contaminants left after a respray. It's a quick fix.
Paint correction is the art of correcting swirls by removing the least amount of paint possible.
If your mate is using a Paint Depth Guage (PDG) great. If not, I'd worry about the amount of paint he's removing.

L to the OL.
5-6 hours for that? I don't think so. It takes me 5-6 hours to wash and reapply wax to mine. Let alone correct paint!
Clio sized car takes me 10-12 hours. So a day. I have two booked in this weekend, so keep an eye out for threads/write ups. I'll include time lines just for you.
