Keethos 842 Report post Posted September 27, 2014 Awesome stuff Rob, taking off with the detailing business then? Exquisite Detailing? So what did you do to the car and how long? How much you charging? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rob275 1817 Report post Posted September 27, 2014 Slowly.. reason I haven't done a lot with it despite me actively detailing all year is cos i broke my site but haven't had time to re-do it. I got everything done ages ago, extra landline number, business cards etc but it all fell on the back burner. Pretty much done a full detail on this, machine polish, wheels done. No interior on this. -Snowfoamed -Wheels cleaned -Rinsed -Washed -Rinsed -Clayed -Polished -Wiped down with alcohol -Sealed Took around 9 hours, nick was mainly bothered about getting the swirls out so most attention was focused in that department to get it done in a day. I'd charge premium members here £120, though I haven't paid my trader fees yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelerad 256 Report post Posted September 29, 2014 All your doing is creating an excuse to not drive it cause you'll be worried it will get dirty again ! Wear your swirls and dirt with Pride Alec (Pigpen) Keeler 1 nikndel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nikndel 509 Report post Posted September 29, 2014 Let me think Lydden, Modified Live , Gaydon, Simply Japanese mini meet at Chelmsford and Grasshopper and sure I can manage a couple more this year not too bad for a newboy me thinks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelerad 256 Report post Posted September 29, 2014 Yes but that was before you got it all shiny, now you'll drive it less as you'll be worried I have a name for this "Sennaitis" Alec I do admit it does look lovely and Rob did a cracking job, but it'll put you off actually driving it. What you need is 2 86's one to polish and keep in an air conditioned garage on carpet tiles to look at and take photos of (GJOB) one to have fun in by driving it loads and not caring about the dirt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rob275 1817 Report post Posted September 29, 2014 The reality is he will be able to drive it more and spend less time washing it now as it won't get as dirty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
