I sometimes forget that this thread isn't a detailing forum.

Youtube orange peel and see how bad a paint job can be and what the results can be after a bit of graft.

look forward to your reply's

Right so how much is a full wet sand detail going to cost?

It's unreasonable to expect people on here to start buying PTGs and an array of tools for wet sanding.

Looking through their Facebook page at the photos, for some strange reason they never mask the tyres when spraying wheels black

That's almost comical.

Tells you all you need to know about this outfit.

Please tell me that is tyre shine.

What would you say if you went to collect your car and it was like that? You'd be genuinely stumped.

Whoever's doing it must have a minder to help them go the loo and mop up the puddle of drool every couple of minutes.

It just doesn't make sense. It only takes a a few minutes to mask off the tyre, and the costs of the material to do so (some tape and paper at it's most basic) are minimal. Why would you skip that part to save a few pennies per wheel when the result looks so hilariously bad?

Not even that,

That's certainly one way of doing it! I would think that decks of cards would be more expensive than some recycled paper and tape though. Though perhaps they could make cards economical by buying in bulk, as that's apparently how they can paint whole car for less than the labour costs from a proper body shop.

well for a DA6 machine polisher is £83 disks and proper pads £60 megs 105 and megs 205 then a nice finishing wax. your talking £200 max if your going to buy everything yourself and once its bought its yours.

Everyone knows a detailer that could do a homer. Im sure you could pay him around the same to do the car for you. I however will be doing it myself.. it looks like it will need wet sanding but who knows.. It might be fine with a cutting compound, polish and finnish.

time will tell

haha yeah i have to admit i did chuckle when i seen the over spray on tyres. Like you say its not hard to tape it all off but then again its not hard to take the paint off tyres.

I'm now thinking this was intentional.

Hi folks

New member here, I have had 2 cars painted at Econospray a mk4 Golf that went from Metallic Black to Polar white in March last year it had dents on roof and wings all sorted including fixing my scabby allows and a Mk2 Cortina which went from Aubergine to Ford Ruby Red Metallic. Ok I didnt pay 399 for the Cortina but i was more than pleased with the results and the price and have pics of what they did to my car if anyone is interested ill post here.

It really depends on your expectations the door checks and under the bonnet aren't touched for £399 but wasnt an issue on the golf.

Pathetic

I've definitely never defiantly worked anywhere. There are probably a good few PHers who do work in a most defiant manner .... not sure how thats relevant.

There is a proven pattern.

A new member pops up.

Said member pushes a particular company.

Again

And again

And again

And again

All in one thread.

If it looks like a duck.....

This thread does not appear to be any different to the others over the years.
And the tyre prep speaks volumes.


But I expect your car will have many photos with high res close ups with a perfect finish.
