Invisible Touch Detailing

There is indeed an SLS tucked away in there Adam Lovely car, such a growler! Really enjoy taking it out lol Doesnt get as much attention as some of the others, until they hear it

Very Different very much enjoyed this one

Thanks for reading and hope you enjoyed this detail... Christian

All glass was polished, external plastics dressed, interior hoovered / dusted and tyres dressed. These were the final pictures....

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

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

Hi, not a huge writeup on this one as it has been done previously. But this was a returning E46 M3, with some tasty but subtle modications, to include the CSL alloys, some carbon (including a gorgeous airbox!) newly fitted suspension and bushes, CSL boot and Porsche brakes to name a few..... Here are some completed pictures after a stage 1 paint correction, finished with 3 applications of sealant.... Thanks for looking, lots of pictures on the way shortly Christian

Pics of the Ute will be up shortly Scorps. Was hoping to sort them over Xmas but spent too much time eating Xmas pud and mince pies

I love the Aventador Will have one coming early part of next year

I am indeed. I have recently moved to Epsom in Surrey. Thats the only pic for now, until its finished. Lets just say........ it doesnt look like that anymore

A quick tease of the VXR8!

Hello all, well things have been very busy lately, i'm not quite sure where the days seem to go. But i do apologise for being away from the forum for a while. So here are some long over due pics. Not a writeup but 2 protection details recently carried out. I will however have a nice writeup soon of a stunning metallic black VXR8 Pickup which is having a transformation this w'end.....

Lee was a great guy to work for and i'll look forward to following what else he has planned for his Supra Hope you enjoyed the read Christian

Trial rear bumper completed The boot underneath the spoiler was very flat After polishing Once all polishing was complete the car was IPA'd to remove polishing oils and i then applied Lime Prime Lite by hand. This acts as a further cleanser and creates a great surface to apply a finishing product to Victoria concourse wax was then applied The alloys were treated with wheel sealant and tyres with Endurance Gel The glass and exhaust were polished. Interior hoovered and dusted down. Plastics and seats cleaned with APC. All exterior plastics and rubbers were treated with Bumper Care The engine bay had all metal work polished, paintwork polished, rubbers and plastics treated with Aerospace 303 These were the final pictures

It was then washed using the 2 bucket method with Meguiars Shampoo Plus. Clayed to remove bonded contamination and then washed again. The car was then taken inside to be dried and have paint readings taken. The car had received quite a lot of previous paintwork, some of this was leaving quite a flat finish to the overall appearance. Obviously there were lots of swirls and i did my best to pick these up on camera which is always tricky with white. One thing very apparent was the staining to the paint, again very common with white. It would not matter how many times the car was washed, a good polish is the only remedy to return that 'fresh' white appearance There was however 1 panel which caused for concern, the front drivers wing. To look at the panel you would not know, but the paint readings came out at 59 microns with only a couple higher over the whole panel. To give you an idea of this reading, an a4 piece of paper will average 90 microns. This reading was also everything from the bare metal, so primer, basecoat (colour) and lacquer! I gave Lee a quick call to make him aware and i expressed my concerns to him. He was previously thinking of having the front wings painted in the future anyway so agreed for me to proceed. Which i did cautiously at a very low speed, simply to remove the staining in the paint to blend it in with the rest of the car Here are a few shots showing the paint condition prior to machining

Into the engine bay I then proceeded to go around the car with APC cleaning headlight rubbers, fuel cap, door and boot shuts, window rubbers, mirrors and badges Wheels were cleaned with Bilberry and tyres with APC The car was then jetwashed and snowfoamed

Hi, here we have Lee's Single Turbo Supra. I spotted Lee's car a long time ago at an old gym and left him a business card on his windscreen. Lee contacted me and said he was having some work done to the car and would be in contact in the future. Well he has certainly had some work done This was his car on arrival to me http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c194/Stonkin/Lee%20Single%20Supra/DSC00261_zps12128aa2.jpg" />

Looking nice matey. Good to see you putting in the time to take care of it The joys of keeping black cars clean eh lol I've had loads of black cars in the past but the last few have been different until recently getting the bm. Can get very dusty in only hours where i live. Very much looking forward to getting a few day spare to give it some tlc

Cheers guys. Not sure i'd want the fuel bill on that Scorps

Cheers Tony. Just got back from a lovely morning at Goodwood breakfast club. Nice bit of food, good look round the cars and a fantastic drive there and back
