Hi all,

Not really posted since i picked up my car earlier this year, although i read the posts a lot. I'm still over the moon with the car to the point i sold my bentley and ferrari as they never got a look in :-)

I've had nothing but positive reactions whilst driving it, and as much as i look around daily at other cars, nothing else has caught my eye at all!!

It really is the best car i've ever owned and would recommend anyone looking just does it!

With winter here its now away being detailed by Kelly at KDS Keltec (whom i think is well known to a lot of people on this forum). Kelly is at a guess about 2/3rds of the way through the process and if anybody wants a look at the pictures Kelly has downloaded for me to see the progress, the link is here:

I've mate some really good friends through ownership of the car as well which is also a huge plus.

Best

Paul

Wow, Thats some serious Detail.

Are all detailers as in depth as this - with regards to cleaning the interior, repairing scuffs on the seats and taking the wheels off toclean inner arches etc?

How much would something like this cost if you don't mind me asking?

No. Kelly is (arguably more than) a class above. I say that from experience and industry knowledge formed over several years.


ETA - Don't take my word for it, look what the professional detailers on a detailing forum have to say about his work - http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.p...

I would like to add that when I had my P&J detailed by KDS before the Wilton House charity run I was astonished at what results Kelly had achieved with my GT. In addition the whole process was seamless with almost daily email updates from him. There are some great pics of my GT here:

http://s288.photobucket.com/albums/ll168/kdskeltec...

I would highly recommend KDS, the excellent standard of workmanship and professionalism is rather rare these days........Keep up the awesome work Kelly, smile

Can I just say what am amazing looking car you have there. You should be really proud of it and achieving such a motor.

We do Kelly's alarm system so when ever I get a bit of free time, and it's ok'd with Kelly, I sometimes pop in to say hello if he's not to busy.

I saw your car through it's detailing stages and yet again I think Kelly and Lepsons (wheel refurbers) has done a fantastic job, I really hope you are happy with the result....I know I would be it looked absolutely fantastic. That's not a car a super car now......... it's a wet dream. biggrin

Oh Hello to as well JayKaybi....I didn't recognise you the other day without your hat.

Just back from work!

I knew kelly was popular, just didnt realise how much.....

Forgot to add that he has also cleaned my throttle bodies as well, as the car was starting to hunt a bit when idling. This was quite embarassing sometimes as to passers by i was sitting there reving the engine!

Again, i can't wait to get the car back in all its glory as ive now got quite a queue of people waiting to see it.

For any of you that dont know kelly, apart from being extremely knowledgable he is a frustrating nice chap as well!

Needless to say he'll be doing all my cars from now on.

Only problem now is i'll pick it up when the sun is shining!!
