Hi Kev,

I'm going to try Warman detailing, Paddy328 said to give them a shout. Else I'll get Paddy himself round to do it, though he is a teeny bit over budget so want to see what Warman come in at first as they're a little more local.

Check out Peter Gammons in Peterborough, Prestige Valeting....He does what your looking for on Ferraris, Bugatis etc and is reasonably priced. He knows TVR's as has done my T350 and I trust him with my car My T350 looked amazing after

Great topic!

I think Im gonna purchase some top products and take a day off and see how I get on.

But I agree the pros are Ultimate!

I'm liking the Discovery.. Must be a challenge to get one into that condition. Looks superb.

Hoping to get mine done next month, full detail plus Gtechniq crystal serum to add a ceramic coating to the paint.

Some fab detailers out there with an impressive cvs, if they've not got experience in GRP cars, walk away (my opinion)

I do mine myself....some great products out there

It's worth every penny paying a pro to detail your P&J.

Hi Nick, not sure what the forum rules are re recommending products so apologies if I should not mention them.....
I use the Gtechniq range, starting with the P1 polish then the C1 Cyrstal lacquer and EXO. Great products and easy to apply
Also used them on my Chimaera...

The above pics have really given me the DIY Detail bug. I've just acquired the various micro fibre mist now it's to purchase a new product I've been reading up on when the weather is good I'll run it down to my car wash guys for an in out then it's back home for the full treatment. It's a 2stage product with a 10yr guarantee, (nano technology apparently)!!?? Also going to be treating the carbon dipped interior panels too.

I'm feeling to blog the detail so I'll put a Go pro video up of the experience on YouTube

Wish me luck I may need it.

If you do it yourself, it certainly gives you a very good workout to boot!

Zippee if you struggle try Simon at Cambridge Concours. Has a couple of units at Scotland Farm, Dry Drayton. Cannot recommend him enough. Looks after a certain ginger haired guys collection as well as a loud mouthed ex BBC car jorno. Not cheapest but from experience something like this is worth paying for the best

Don't think Professional Detailing will help with this lost cause...

There's one I saw - I can't remember whether it was on here or on facebook - where the roof had been painted up with a Union Jack with ripples as though it was blowing in the wind ... that was awesome!

I'd expect this has been re-painted/repaired at some point, Looks like moisture in the paint, Or somethings going on with the gel coat which is letting the fibreglass breathe through,

Sand,seal,prime,paint, Or how about a big sticker on the affected area?? jk

Looks like the exterior version of a bison interior...
