If you dial 660 1111 (for example) within London now then it won't work. The area code is 020, not 0208 or 0207, so you would have to dial 8660 1111.

Bloody hell, so "EAL 7631" won't either... ?

Oli. That' swhat I was wondering. Mind you it's a good advert for Zymol's products isn't it Rich...

Good point, but zymol vintage wax is about £1500 a pot
And his top clean, the "Connoisseur Miracle Detail" that includes application of this wax is between 6-10+hours for £400-£750 plus.
So take the price of the wax and the labour into account and his rates arn't really that bad when you consider the love hes shown the cars on the site.

would love to be able to think "I could do that", but I cant, so hats off to the guy

Was in no way suggesting that it's not a job well done. As you say, "hats off to him" Rich...

I usually take about 16 hours total on the Esprit to prepare for a show: by the way - yes - those are alloys and not chrome ErnestM

Thought I'd add to this old thread - I've had my 7-series given the Miracle Detail once-over today!

As a previous poster said - wow!

My car is 8 years old with 90k on the clock, and has really come up a treat. It's the same colour as the 8-series in the earlier post.

IMO worth the cost when you consider what it adds to the car in terms of its value.

Looks freshly minted, it's like the clock has been wound back to 1997 when BMW were making proper BMW's.

I think it's going to be featured on the Miracle Detail website - look out for an Oxford Green 7-series!

I must say, Its been a year now since the last coat was put on by Paul and it is still looking as shiney as ever.
My 8 has been sitting out in the drive all winter and I have probably washed it about 5 times in a year with just water and every time it remind me how much I love the car.

This remind me, it's definately time for another layer!

Got Miracle around to analyse the paint... this is what I got sent
