997 Professional Detail
Just had my car detailed by Mark and wanted to share it, the finish is now fantastic to say the least and it was a pleasure to watch Mark work .
Mark arrived at 8.00 am and I was still washing the car, the neighbours must have thought I had gone mad as I was out there at 7am in the dark washing the car in preperation for Mark's paint correction process.
If any of you are considering this I highly recommend Mark ,he is a master at this and a great bloke too, he can be found at
www.theshinefactory.co.uk
Now in Marks words:
Arrived slightly early today and the owner Tim was giving the car a careful wash, two bucket method, mitt, grit guard and megs water magnet. As a result the paint was in pretty good shape, just some minor cobwebbing from the dealers.
It was also a chance to try my new camera out, I went for the panasonic lunimix 'rangefinder' style camera with leica lens It shoots in widescreen. All shots taken 'wide open' at f2.8 iso400.
Process
Clay: Sonus Green
Polish: Menzerna Intensive Polish 3.02 at 1200rpm megs polishing pad
Polish: Menzerna final finish at 900-600rpm megs finishing pad.

Megs last touch final wipedown
