Swissol Divine actually................

Had the GT2 detailed by Damon @ http://detailfinish.co.uk the weekend before last. (the weather has been so poor since, we couldn’t get any decent outdoor shots until this Sunday)
Damon even came back this weekend to re-clean the car after I’d “enjoyed” it several times last week prior to this “photoshoot“.


Damon had recently detailed Glen McMenamins Turbo S Cab, and it was the pictures of that job on Stuttgart 9S which led me to contact him.

The detail took a total of 19 hours (the vast majority of which was taken up carrying out paint rectification after the previous owner had used what looked like a brillo pad to wash the carshoot !)

Damons knowledge and enthusiasm won the day however.
The results speak for themselves, and the whole job was finished off with a liberal application of Swissol Divine Wax.

So if you’re pride and joy needs some TLC to restore it to its former glory, Damon comes highly recommended. He’s a frequent visitor to the ‘Ring in his M3 CSL too driving (so he’s not just a saddo car cleaning anorak hehe !! )

Wow - awesome!

I had planned to give Damon a bell after winter was over, as mine could do with some of that...

can you give me an idea how much it cost (PM me if not want it to be public) please.

are those scratches actually removed or covered in a layer of good wax? Will they be exposed again within a couple of months? I suppose time will tell.

Oh no nono nono They've gone for good, the AFTER pictures are after polishing but PRIOR to waxing.

Sleep, it's Midnight blue, but when it's lit correctly it changes colour

Thanks Slippy

Pleasure to help you with the car, glad your happy with it.

I love the looks of the GT2, but as discussed I wouldn't want to try and tame it.

Look after it, top up the wax and the finish will be good for the life of the car.

Cheers

Damon
