scoobysailor Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 Looks realy good mate. I've just enquired about getting mine done when I get back to the UK, after sitting in a carpark for 3 months I think it will deserve a bit of TLC (after a service and an MOT). He's just along the road from me as well
Wee Jock Posted May 23, 2010 Author Posted May 23, 2010 Cheers for the comments guys! Scoobysailor - well worth the effort and not that expensive! WJ
ANDYJDMSTI Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 Looks good, might take a trip there too as it is not far from me. How long did it take and what sort of ballpark figure we looking at?

Regards WJ Looking good I reckon that is a good price. What did you actually have done mate? Just cleaned or machine polishing as well etc? Edited May 23, 2010 by Richie Cross
Wee Jock Posted May 23, 2010 Author Posted May 23, 2010 Looking good I reckon that is a good price. What did you actually have done mate? Just cleaned or machine polishing as well etc? Richie, because of the condition of the paintwork (Excellent Condition) the car was hand polished. I have asked Tim to send me a list of what was done as I never took it all in when he told me. Will post up more details when I get them. Regards Paul
C_WRX Posted May 24, 2010 Posted May 24, 2010 Nicely done, lovely shine going on in the pics. Good freshen up for the nice weather we will of course now have for the rest of the summer !! If the paintwork is in good nic, and that's a credit to you, then no point taking a machine to it when a good cleanse, protect and shine will do.
Wee Jock Posted May 24, 2010 Author Posted May 24, 2010 Is this a mobile service? Not at the moment m8, Kilcreggan is only an hours drive at most from Glasgow tho!
