You normally have to have an x ray before a resray.

Have a word with Hughsie, he had his 500 resprayed last year, pretty sure it was a full respray

Very rough guide:

£3-4k for a absolute top notch windows out job & 2-3 weeks depending on workload

£1.5 - 2k for an ok job but not windows out.

Reminds me Al.....need to ask you where to get the touch up sticks from for those odd stone chips Also what are you cleaning and polishing the old girl with (car not Vicki ) these days? Also any tips on cleaning the leather?

Touch up sticks from any motoring shop - pretty hit and miss whether you can find an exact match ... I haven't for mine yet. AND, unscrew the top and test it on a bit of paper first before you buy it as the cap colours can be miles out!

Cleaning? I use Meguires car shampoo (dark pink colour) though and "decent" shampoo will do. Then I use Zymol cleaner wax which is very very minutely abrasive and will take stuff off like stubborn tar marks and staining from the exhausts, then Meguires Gold Wax for the top coat.

I personally would not recommend stuff like Auto Glym as it has too much chalk in it (polish your car and see how much white dust is flying around!).

Best option BY MILES ... get on eof the really good Zymol detailers to spend a day on the car. the will use a clay bar on the surface to get it lovely and smooth then use really good wax and it will come up shinier than it left the showroom

It also makes future cleaning an absolute doddle. £250-ish but it will last all year.

For the leather you need a just a decent leather cleaner, get all the grubbiness out of the wrinkles then a good leather cream to feed it. You should be able to get these at most car places.
