Had the Peril valeted today by Martin Pennington of Top Shot Valeting.

She looks absolutely amazing!!!!!!

The Cerb and will be at the Mid Essex Meet tomorrow along with Paul B's Cerb done earlier in the week and Martin will be there to answer questions.

I cannot believe the difference it has made........

Well worth coming up to the meet for that alone

......not nice!

The whole point of this is that Martin will get to tell people just how much goes into creating such an amazing effect.

This is no £50. valet jobby......Martin was working on the car all day and it looks really stunning as all those who attend the Meet will see.

Have you ever noticed when you give your P&J a really good clean and polish, on the very next drive, something gets it dirty again - ours was given a good seeing to last week and the next drive out was through dust clouds from the combine harvesters followed by some muddy puddles created by a broken mains

Pauline, your Cerbie always looks immaculate anyway

Hey, no offence man. It just conjoured up a funny mental image...

Poor Martin having to answer the same questions all day.

I'll buy him a beer...

Question to YP when was the Cerb last polished/waxed

If its been along time anything will make it look better

A better comparison is to valet a car thats regularly polished/waxed

Paul's car will be there tomorrow....that has been done this week.

His car is always kept looking tip top....so there you go....

One that has never been polished since we've had it and one that is done on a regular basis.

They will be parked side by side......

You're a polish wiz pies....I'll be interested to hear your opinion....

Actually....quite a lot more judging by the response Martin got yesterday at the Meet.

One of the good things about P/H is that we get to share good (and bad!)stuff with others.

This really made a difference and I thought others, especially those who enjoy taking their cars to show, might appreciate the info.

Actually i think Pauline is right,
with TVRs it is a minefield trying to find garages / tradesmen that can be trusted with your pride and joy and if you do find somone who is exceptional in the way they treat you / your car, or thier work and experience is exceptional then i think PLUGGING is a good thing on this site or else whats the point? its like because jools has a helpfull nature and is exceptionally good at what he does people on this site plug him and his buisness regularly and whats wrong with that.
I have personally had my car detailed by Martin on a couple of occasions and will definately use him again as the results are outstanding his knowledge of paints and trim materials is vast and i have seen how he can restore oxidised dead paint/Plastics/trim and bring an old tired car back to life a friend of mine who bought an old red porsche planning to get it repainted used martin and the car now looks like its never seen English weather its mint he saved on the cost of a respray and the leather trim now looks like new, like i said if somone is good at what they do then hey plug them!
Ps i bought my car from Castle and the dealership often comment on how good it looks compared to when it was new as it definately looks better since Martin removed all the oversprayed glue from the interior and brought the paint alive by Claying the rough Lackerd finish to resemble glass to give the car a wet deep shine
Admitedly clean cars are not everyones cup of tea but if you really cherish your car and you want it to look its best then he is your man, Castle obviously rate him as they have used him to get a tired looking cerbie back to its best. So if you have a car you want transformed and you can do without it for 10 to 12 hours Martins your man, thats it im off me soap box now.
