Invisible Touch Detailing Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invisible Touch Detailing Posted March 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Paint condition under halogen lighting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invisible Touch Detailing Posted March 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 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 Continuing around the car Once all polishing was complete, Swissvax Cleaner Fluid was applied by hand to prepare the paint to receive a wax 2 applications of Best of Show were applied Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invisible Touch Detailing Posted March 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 All glass was polished, external plastics dressed, interior hoovered / dusted and tyres dressed. These were the final pictures.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invisible Touch Detailing Posted March 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 There is indeed an SLS tucked away in there Adam Lovely car, such a growler!

Tango Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Good job again Christian. Evil looking machine though, wouldn't look out of place in a Mad Max movie . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parthiban Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Stunning work, those things are weirdly cool simply for being completely and utterly insane vehicles! That's a nice collection of supercars in the background - all awaiting details? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invisible Touch Detailing Posted March 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam_r Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 you lucky B@stard being able to drive them. there is a lot of expensive metal in there... I am glad i live fa enough away from you or my wife and children would wonder where i have gone... i could spend days / weeks looking around that lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parthiban Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 i also deliver them to club members and collect them That sounds like a nice perk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 I just Googled P1, what an awesome place to work So I take it this is leasing cars for the rich? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invisible Touch Detailing Posted March 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 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.

parthiban Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 So I take it this is leasing cars for the rich? It's one of those supercar clubs, where you pay an annual fee and get to use the cars a number of times a year. Costs are in the link below: http://www.p1international.com/how-it-works.php Quite pricey though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parthiban Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 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.

Invisible Touch Detailing Posted March 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 There are some celebs yes Rich The website is quite out of date and is currently having a complete redesign. The cars and membership packages are also different to whats on the site. Wont be long for the new site to be live... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
