Not seen much of Jules lately. I was genuinely, without spite and with an open mind, looking forward to these pics.
Ive just been watching and learning 
EDIT
I have no idea how to put pictures on PH
Just post them somewhere (photobucket, facebook, wherever) and get the url. Then, back on PH, you just paste the url between these tags (with NO spaces):
[pic] urlgoeshere [/pic]
Or, even simpler, when you're writing your reply there's a link above the text input box that says 'Upload an image (beta)'

how about one coat of a less than £20 sealent that can do this then.
this was bare paint no machining wipe down with solvent so just one coat of a product not costing £1000's
could someone now tell me how the average punter in the street thats paid for his one day detail could see the difference between one days work or 5 days work?
One will last years with common sense cleaning and the other will last 2-3 months , and when you call in for a top up.

If you don't mind me asking what product is that? That looks really good, Hand application was it? this was bare paint no machining wipe down with solvent so just one coat of a product not costing £1000's

Well, sometimes it's good to give the benefit of doubt. JulesB has been asked by more that one member to back up his claims and apart from one lame excuse, he's chosen to ignore them. Another case of talking the talk. I'd say that's not a very good endorsement for Glare UK. Seems like the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree and all rotten to the core. JMHO.te and runs!

If that's the case then thin out page 4 ! We have some very important "name and shame" rules here on PistonHeads, and in accordance with those, we do not allow such allegations (founded or otherwise).

However, it's a complete disgrace that brand new cars are being delivered like this with the customer being told that it's an acceptable paint finish.

I did a Range Rover this weekend, which badly needed some wet sanding on the near side rear 1/4 and rear door where it had been resprayed and blended half way down the door.
I don't for one minute put myself near KDS in terms of experience, skill or craftsmanship but I still spent 5+ hours on this wet sanding to get it as good as I possibly good.... Thorough wipe-downs, 1500,2000,3000 & 4000 grit used before polishing up in 3 stages with multiple products.
There was over 300microns on this section so plenty to work with but I still took my time, and made sure I removed as much orange peel to the point it didn't look odd with the rest of the car.
Here's how it looked
This was during the process
Finishing off
As I say, this was still 4-5 hours on the rear 1/4 and the door which didn't need as much work....
I wouldn't personally be comfortable even trying to do a whole car in 20 hours, let alone promising it!!
