Paddy 328 is a star
Discussion
Mr Francis has spent the last 2 days with 2 of my cars, the v12v on Sunday and my 993 c2s on Monday. A few comments:
a/ Francis works from 7am to 8pm non stop.
b/ He is super nice, modest, hard working, respectful to both the cars and the clients.
c/ the results are astonishing. I have used a fair few detailers in the past...
d/ he knows the products to use for the longer lasting result which is *the* problem when you go through such a process.
e/ he is super reliable.
f/ he is in love with my 1973 fiat 500 but sorry Francis, you can't have it..
Now, everyone is going to ask for pics whilst the cars are under cover and unlikely to move for a week. I will post some.
All I can say is that anyone with an Aston and a fragile paint should use his services. My v12 is storm black and the paint is extremely vulnerable. Protection is an absolute must.

I agree totally with all except with one thing, Francis worked from 8am until 11 pm fuelled on fish and chips and curry sauce. Like you I am cosseting my V8V away for weeks until the paint protection film is applied.
Don't expect photo's though as completely hopeless at anything IT and cut and paste doesn't seem to work, no idea what the photo file names are. I can verify though, it did happen cos I keep going into garage to check.
Thank you Francis fabulous job.

I would have to agree with Plusonetoo, on his first day he did 8.00 till 7.00 had pie and chips with us and then went back to work for another couple of hours. He then started just after 7.00 and left at 5.00 on his second day.
Paddys work ethic is fantastic, as are the results he achieves. A genuinely nice guy who just seems to require occassional cake and chip infusions.

Thank you guys, its nice to see my hard work doesn't go unnoticed. Eric, I take it that you've not met mr Hall and the other old farts then lol. I would've replied earlier, but ive not had the time im afraid.
As some may have noticed, cakes etc are currently the last thing I need, but i'll never say no to food.

Big thread bump as I was just checking Francis's username (I thought it ended 308, for some reason) for another post and this was the first search result.
I too can confirm that his work and knowledge is absolutely excellent and every time I buy a new car the very first thing I do is have Francis (or sugar tits, as my wife calls him!) fully detail it.
I don't normally bump old threads, but we all like to see our cars restored to (better than) new showroom condition and it is also an added bonus that in doing so we are able to contribute towards his Care in the Community programme.

Xenon Grey. Amazing colour - same as Ceramic (I had that on my previous Vanquish Volante) but with an amazing metallic fleck.Cracking car colour combination, enjoy.
Well, I wasn’t expecting to see this thread again, but I can’t argue, I am a star. Well, some would even go so far as to say hero, but I’m not one for labels lol. I just try and look after people as best I can a do the best work I can in the time I have.
Thank you all for the kind words and yes, Julian’s wife does indeed call me sugar tits.
On another note. I can’t get emails from my website at the min and it’s been the case for a while, so if anyone needs to get in touch, just give me a call.
