Had my car detailed

MOB · 03-09-2009, 02:28 PM

Car was looking a bit tired so I thought I'd get it cleaned and protected properly - I usually do my own cars but as it is BMW paint and black I preferred to get a pro to do it.

Pics etc here - superb job!!!

Looks stunning!

I'm guessing it's not quite as clean now though, after the pod.

Looks great in the pics. and the bloke paid you a compliment about how you look after your car.

Getting mine done in April and I'm looking forward to that deep shine that can be achieved on black paintwork, despite the fact it's not my favourite colour tbh only because it pisses me off that it shows the muck so easily.

Are you/have you done the Cayman?

Looks stunning

Can't believe the difference between the before and after shots, especially as you were complimented on your care of the car.

However it frustrates me not having a few quid spare to get mine done

I'm going to do that myself as soon as the weather gets better - I can cope with doing a silver Cayman

The before/after shots were surprising and I do try to look after the paint, and he wasn't doing a proper paint correction, just an "enhancement"

He's very good and good value IMO @ £200 for that job

Looks great MOB

My car needs some of this TLC.... must look into local detalers

Mark II · 03-09-2009, 05:25 PM

Very nice Mark - great gloss.

encee · 03-09-2009, 05:47 PM

Looks fantastic MOB, especially the rear bumper.

The "after" pics make the bumper almost glass-like in appearance !

Newbie 4 · 03-10-2009, 03:56 AM

£200 for that job is excellent MOB. Your car looks great now btw!
