Great work. Very, very nice

Some photos of a few fun cars I've detailed in recent weeks A single turbo converted FD3S 400hp at the flywheel A twin turbo big block carbon bodied R35 that does 7 second quarters!! A twin turbo big block Escort Cosworth......'only'runs low 9s! :dblthumb2: Last for this update is...

Stunning. Superb work

Taken from the MLR " As Evo X GSR, plus: - Gravel brakes - 16" Alloy wheels - Basic non-bucket seats - Black door handles and wing mirrors - More basic plastics and panels inside - No armrest on centre console - Rear bench seat more basic, cheaper carpets - Electrically adjustable door mirrors...

Thanks guys :) Very kind comments.

Great work and my love for SL's is strong :D How long did the work on this one take you?

Afternoon Seeing as you guys seem to appreciate a tuned car or two, I thought I would share one of last years memorable jobs :) It was booked with me for a full valet, so interior, exterior and engine bay work with the owner allowing me to use my discretion in terms of what was needed and...

Fair play :xyxthumbs: My first one was a UK spec Classic so 205hp and pretty good for stock, but my next one was a tuned Sti so somewhere around 280hp. I need another one I think so a Legacy GTB is next on the list. Thanks again for your thoughts and experience on matte finishes. I have a...

Thanks Aaron :) Great Forester by the way! I've owned a couple of Impreza's but not a Forester...........yet.

One of my regular clients owns a few Evo's and uses some of these alongside his tuning business. One such car is this modified RS X that needed the underside, paintwork, glass and interior decontaminated, cleaned, and protected prior to the Winter lay-up Exterior -Pre-contact wash with...

Thanks Monster Shine :) I know Iron-X is ok, but Tar-X isn't as the solvents are all citrus based. :props: (I meant to say Tar-X in my original post above) Thanks to all for the kind comments. I'll get some other interesting cars shared in the next day or so.......

That's interesting. I had been told to go extremely careful when using solvent based products like Iron-X as they can be very damaging to the wrap, even taking the colour out on occasion? I have tar and fallout remover products and was recommended by the manufacturers to avoid using them on...

This GTR will be one that I look after all year, so you may be able to help answer something for me :) How do you 'safely' remove bonded contaminants such as tar and bugs that have dried on? I've read a few threads about this and yet to have a convincing solution to this issue :xyxthumbs:

It was kind of hard work. The vinyl wrap marks really easily so I had to be oh-so careful when I was washing off the mud and dirt (any grit across the paint would have left a really obvious glossy scratch) In terms of streaking, I just had to rinse the surface really thoroughly and then dry it...

I'm lucky enough to look after quite a few high performance cars and I have a real soft spot for GTRs. I'm a mobile valeter based in the UK, and my typical work time is only about 5 hours per car. This matte wrapped 650hp monster was a real challenge! Some before and afters Initial inspection...
