Well it's arrived! I'm SO excited! Drop the car off tonight after work and fingers crossed pick it up Wednesday evening to be swapped over for the RS's turn at getting the full works.

Oh 3 days without her, I'm sure it's going to be well worth the wait, I have everything crossed for you that the sun will be shining Wednesday ;)
I remember when I got my first detail done on an Audi A4 I had and the day I picked it up was peeing it down :(
Who's doing the job for you?

She's back and I'm really chuffed with the result :thumbup:

Sadly a bit dark for photos tonight (I did take a couple but I'll upload them later) but the 'before and after' photos are on FB already......

I would highly recommend him to any local RCZers, he's a good lad. Can't wait to see the RS when it's finished too.

I can see the pics and it looks STONKING :). Say goodbye to those swirls.

I can almost smell those Dodo products - pity we don't have smell-o-vision lol.

Looks like he used Rainforest Rub for his wax? Judging by the green pot.

Interesting that he used the Dodo Fine Cut Polish on your roof arches. Not thought of that one. How do they look up close now?

The arches look fab! When I saw him originally I said that folk don't tend to polish them 'cos they're so easily scratched, then when I saw a pic on FB yesterday afternoon saying he'd polished them, I thought AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!.

But they are amazing. I think the passenger side one was starting to anodise down near the boot, going a bit milky. I thought it was something I'd have to bring up with Peugeot as a warranty job, but it seems to have gone - or certainly improved considerably :)

Full correction. Both the cars are getting that. The RS has really bad stone chips on the rear arches, but James thinks he can hide them with some fancy blue inky stuff, looks a bit like Dylon for cars! If it makes the chips turn from white to blue then that'll be better! The chips are too small to use a touch up on and Steve was considering a respray, but hopefully this be a successful stop gap :)

I will defo be going back to him at some point - perhaps after the winter. Hopefully the 3(!) coats of wax will see it through the winter now! I can see why PB charge those kind of prices though - James said he had considered finding a unit but he'd have to be taking in about £5K of work a month to cover and that's too much work for one lad, so he continues to work from his Dad's double garage. Go to him Matt, he's so handy for you in Lochview Way.


And I'm SO hacked off it's lashing rain today!!! On the plus side, the beading on the car is really impressive :thumbup: . Hopefully get some decent weather in the next coupld of days to get some nice photos of the two when they're home.........
