If Carlsberg did detailling?

Would the result look like this?







So the infamous Francis (Paddy) has been around again. He started this a few weeks back and worked his magic but had to stop before completion due to discovering a paint issue. Once fixed by the dealer he was back at the weekend and finished the job, bad back and all. The paintwork wasn't the best with plenty of swirls and scratches but no paint chips. But after more three days of work the finish is superb with not a mark on it and now topped of with Crystal Serum.

Not the best pictures but hopefully the deep shine comes through and this was after I'd welded a few flies to the front after a trip to Millbrook and back!

I can't recommend him highly enough. Just search for Emerald Detailling and give him a call. You will not be disappointed.

3 days to wash a car? Holy cow. How much does that cost?

It's a detail not a valet!
After washing there is a decontamination to get rip of all the surface rubbish and then a polish to get the paintwork in the right state for the wax or sealant. A top notch job with a sealant will cost the high end of three figures but a one day polish and a wax is much cheaper.

Aha I always wondered what people meant by detailing. I thought it was just the "fancy" name for a professional wash and polish

I have just had mine detailed, took three day, wheels off, all cleaned wheel arches, wheel cleaned and polished. Car washed, decontaminated, paint thickness measured. machine polish to remove imperfections and then complete wax with dodo juice canubra wax, internal clean including under bonnet and boot, clean seats and treat leather, total cost was £450 but the difference is night and day, see between shot of front wing
