Hi, something a bit different :) Here we have a Holden Maloo VXR8 UTE with a Walkinshaw conversion, in for a Stage 1 paint enhancement with a few extras.

 

This was the vehicle on arrival....

Once a thorough 2 bucket wash and clay had been completed, along with wheel removal to be cleaned an sealed and to properly clean the calipers. It came inside to be dried and inspected

Paint thickness readings were taken. I then proceeded to machine polish using a Meguiars polishing pad with #80 and a small amount of #83 to offer a little more bite

Once all polishing was complete, Swissvax Cleaner Fluid was applied by hand to prepare the paint to receive a wax

Thanks for your comments guys. A couple in the background are awaiting details, but most of them belong to P1.

 

I share the facility with P1. As well as running Invisible Touch, i am also the Operations Manager for P1 for some days during the week. I maintain everything to do with their fleet of cars, i also deliver them to club members and collect them :)

Hi Rich, its a private members car club. Various packages available at different prices, the higher the package the more points you have to convert into driving time. Cars are put into different groups depending on their value when new. Summer and Winter seasons are based on different points, as are weekdays and w'ends :)

 

The benefits are that members get to drive a wide range of vehicles that get regularly refreshed, dont have to worry about insurance and servicing costs, let alone depreciation.

Thanks Christian.

 

Do you get many celebrities using the club then?

 

I guess this is how all these Z listed celebs drive really expensive cars when we all know they don't earn that kind of money or they've been made bankrupt several times!

 

Yep quite pricey but if you can afford it why not, certainly beats sticking to one car :)

Do many z list celebs drive nice cars?

 

Depends how you feel about cars though, I love having my own car and really getting to know it. But that aside, that's still quite expensive, that costs a lot more than I'm expecting my 360 to cost me...........and I have access to it all year round :)

A quick scan of the daily mail says they do!

 

I do prefer owning my car and that's why I always buy them outright so I can do what I like with them. Each to their own I guess, people are obviously happy to enjoy cars this way instead. Probably useful if you live in London, don't own or need a car for the week and can hirer different ones for the weekends.

Perhaps that is what they do then! Although you'd be surprised how much even z list celebs might be making........

 

Absolutely, definitely an appeal to having access to a great variety of cars, plus on the newer ones depreciation would be a killer if you actually owned them.
