I had to post this, J at Gleaming Kleen has just finished detailing my T350T with a few changes as well as the result is nothing short of amazing!.

I was really sceptical of the cost as the most I've spent before is £80 for a valet but this is no Valet, I saw some previous examples of his work and decided heck, in for a penny .........

I can't recommend him highly enough, not just for the quality of work but for his attitude, passion for the job and helpfulness - an absolute pleasure to deal with

Hope you like the results

also as a new member and a new TVR owner thanks to all the replies to my first post seeking help, I really appreciate it

cheers for now

ps you can get hold of J at www.gleamingkleen.co.uk

I booked in for full correction along with change of wheel colour and the rear diffuser also being changed to a different colour - I know this will be like marmite, some will love, some will hate, but I love the way the exhausts now shine through and the diffuser is separated from the body

Vehicle after the wash stages and before the subtle changes to wheels and diffuser


Wheels before were a flat silver


Wheels after - done in a nice Black Chrome with the insides black which really sit well with the Spectraflair silver paint job. These were protected with 3 coats of Zaino Z2 and tyres dressed with Zaino Z16




Arches and suspension throughly cleaned using AG Powermax 3


After


Wheel hubs recieved a bit of TLC also.


They were sanded back, primered and painted with a few coats




Rear diffuser was dropped and taken to bodyshop so they could spray it to my choosen colour - light antracite. Whilst this was off this allowed J to polish up the exhausts, this was done using Briliant Metal polishes. They were then sealed with Blackfire All Metal Sealant

Before -


After


With newly painted diffuser


Correction was carried out using Menz 3.02 on a 3m polishing pad

SV cleaner fluid was applied/removed by hand and paintwork was given a coat of Swissvax Divine with a final wipedown with SV quickfinish a couple hours later

A few afters - some were taken taken on a nice sunny day whilst others taken on a overcast day


























Thanks for looking

Top work from good old Jay, glad to see you're pleased with your "glorified" valet job!! hehe
Up to you now, to keep the paint that way with a proper wash care regime - I'm sure Jay's filled you in already, but if you have any questions, you know where to find us.
