    Had the Motor detailed today...

    Although it rained all day we were able to make use of a friends garage. It started to get a bit late and started raining when the pics were taken. The pics aren't superb but you'll get the idea.

    I have to say this guy that does this is incredible. The paintwork was that glossy it looked wet to the touch and it wasn't the rain. If anyone is interested I'll pass on your details. Distance is not an issue providing it's in the UK and he's affordable too. Which is a bonus.

    What do you think?

    Looks great but way too much wax build-up on your plates.

    Don't tell me those are garage doors!

    How much did he charge and what did he do exactly?

    Looks like a good job and I might be interested. Depends if he will travel to the midlands.

    Great looking car!

    He's in Notts today, mids tomorrow I think.

    Well, he washed, dried, clayed, applied cleaner fluid, polished, then 2 x coats of wax along with waxing the wheels etc.

    The price you'll have to discuss with Dave, but you will be amazed at the value for money this guy provides.

    Throt, it was difficult to say really as I kept stopping the poor bloke to exchange tips and the like.

    But, having said this we arrived at my mates at about midday, and was finished about 7pm ish, with bacon butty and coffee breaks... He really works hard though. The problem was it was fairly tight in his garage so that must have paid a part. 7/8 hours would be about right I would guess. I know Dave took 10 hours on the previous 997 which had terrible swirls in the paint though.

    You really should give the guy a go, you will not believe the results.

    [edit]

    In fact I'm booking him in again before winter.

    That is the best looking black 911 paint I've ever seen.
