Scourer Pad Scratches vs Gallardo - The End
Discussion
Thought I’d give you all ‘closure’ on the green scourer vs Gallardo saga.
Got it detailed (Valet Magic in Ascot) and it now looks brand new.
If I had known what the results were going to look like, I would have got it done regardless of the self harm I conducted on it!
The car is now scratch free and looks (and feels) brand new. Very pleased indeed....
As I promised, here is a ‘before’ and ‘after’ of the worst (deep) scratch – gone! I think the detailer may add more pictures of the process later.
When I picked it up the next car in-line to be detailed was a car that was owned by Theirre Henry (a small engined 6.2litre Cadillac SUV) – although he ('apparently') didn’t use scouring brushes to get rid of his bonnet bugs.....

Missed your car by a couple of hours, I went to see Robbie and he told me the toil your car had put him through, I would like to have seen the results. Glad you got it sorted, guess you're not buying any more scourers.Got it detailed (Valet Magic in Ascot) and it now looks brand new.

It has been a great topic. I was wondering if you could try the effects of an orbital sander or a cheese grater next....just to see what carnage ensues.But in fairness we have all taken drink before and aren't these detailers good! Cheers.
Thanks. Got a lot of stick for this post - but would rather share these rather dumb-a*s experiences in full gaze of the public, hear peoples thoughts, queries, etc and then everyone can learn from my errors. Im sure there will be many more along the way...Hi Lordbluf
Glad you were happy with the finish on and in your car.
58 hours in total mate LOL what a week.
I'll get a write up on Detailing world early next week so you can see the full process.
Caelum-Blue - It was great to meet you and i'll see you soon.

Hi, the link above goes through the detailing in ..er...detail! Lots of pictures and write up what products he used for each stage etc- might well be useful for others to read.

The write up says that it took 3 days.
If it's not a rude question, can you tell us how much that cost?
Hi, sure - hope valet-magic wont mind - to say there was not much change from £1K, although I know his prices start at c.£3-400 i think depending on what you want done.If it's not a rude question, can you tell us how much that cost?
