Frank_STI Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 (edited) You will need both days, trust me I alway make sure I've got 2days for a detail, normally take around 20hours for a car, the last bmw I did took 18hours Acheived LSP ready finish with Megs #83 too I also need to get a decent camera lol Edited June 4, 2008 by Frank_STI Link to comment
j10 dly Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Some lovely work there boys with the detailing. Iwould certainly not have the patience to do it, so i tip my hat to you Just looking at some of the pics, the time and effort certainly does pay off. Cheers James Link to comment
scoobyiain Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 Sorry to bring this back up again as i know some folk don't agree with these threads. I eventually finished all the work with 50 hours being spent in total. My folks are away to canada for a holiday and have taken my 400d so could not get any pics up. Anyway it was in for it's mot last week and gave the guys strict instructions not to wash the car. Picked it up the next day and it had been cleaned they use a powerwash and the chemicals have stripped all the wax off and obviously used a sponge too as there is some minor swirls. Absoloutly gutted, all that hard work for nothing. Rant over. Anyone want to buy a BMW? £7500 Link to comment
cullenmin Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 MOT station washing your car, that'll be the only place that does that then 50 hours cleaning a car, thats some commitment you got there mate. Keep up the good work Rich Link to comment
C_WRX Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 (edited) 50 hours is just rediculous !!! Interested in the pics when you get the chance. Well done. Edited July 2, 2008 by C_WRX Link to comment
thefastone Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Bloody hell! was the John Clark that did that? thats pretty crap like considering it was probably cleaner BEFORE they washed it... At least it was already done to a point so it shouldn't be toooooooo much work to get it back again... Still Sucks though... Link to comment
scoobyiain Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 Was just a local garage i went to. Not going to bother putting the expensive wax back on it as i'm selling it. Will try and get pics up of the finished article before she goes. Although at the rate big engine cars are selling it will need it's winter coat on Link to comment
thefastone Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 How come you are selling again so soon though and are you actually going to go for another Scooby now, or do you have your eye on some thing else first? Good Luck with the sale of this one... Link to comment
