Schweet. 29th August?

 

what's your wash / dry process at the moment?

 

Hi Steve. The pictures really look like they are brochure ones especially with another black one in the background.

He should take that as a compliment then as his scoob and photgraphy are at a professional level.

 

The other black scoob is Frayz's. Another black scoob that's hard to live up to

After a bufty on Fozzies:

 

speccie......nothing to bad just cant get the nice mirror finish as like it was after matt was finished with her.

Matt, rinse with water, wash with me poor boys shampoo, then dry with a waffle.

 

Kin ell Matt thats a proper shine. But if you look close you can just see a bit you`ve missed............................................ .................................................. ............................................somewh ere I`m sure.

 

2 buckets?
pleanty of foam from the shapoo?
pat drying or wiping?

Matt what you need is a good long run out in that new scoob when you get it to deepest Hertfordshire. After you`ve buftied yours of course and you can do our bug. If you want to pm us a price for a proper job.

 

 

 

always 2 buckets.
maybe not enough shampoo though, judging by what you have put.
i wipe when drying, but not in circles.

 

29th is

 

I can't take the credit for the photography though. That was Dave68's work

 

Say that again. God with a camera

 

Try adding a little more suds and pat drying. take a little long but worth it. Also when drying spray the panels with quick detailer. This helps to enrich the shine. And don't forget to wax it every 6 weeks

 

booked in

 

some previous looks of my scoobs and what to go for or avoid with the next one

 

will try the pat route. also need to get some polish!! lol

can you get me some or recomend what i need.

cheers

 

polish or wax?

polish will cut into the paint and give no protection

wax protects the paint

What's your budget?

 

your call mate, you know the car and know your stuff. you tell me what you think i need. as for budget have no idea what this sort of stuff costs so again you tell me what you think is best and i will go with that. as long as it's not silly ŁŁŁŁŁ's

 

i'll put you something together and pm it over

 

cheers ears

 

It's not all going to plan Seller is now saying that he's got other people after it and offering more money. I like the car but not paying more than I've already agreed. Wish my bank would hurry up! Will I ever end up in another scoob

 

If the price was agreed between you then thats it. IMHO, has he still got it advertised?

 

yup still advertised. which is fair play i guess as i didn't leave a deposit. but he never asked for one and agreed that it was mine. still what's meant to be and all that.

 

I'd be tempted to tell him to stick it and look for another.

Sounds like a tw@t trying to get a few moreŁ's out of you.

Been without one for ages Matt surely you can wait a little longer.

 

That's the way I'm leaning. Fiesta has done me proud this long it'll carry doing it for a while yet.

 

As above - if you shook on it & agreed a price & the guys now asking for more I'd walk away - clearly the guy's a tw@t!

If it is not meant to be then leave it - the right one is out there waiting......
..........and will be better!!

 

I thought that the waffle which spally says he is using is only meant to be used to pat dry the car. I am under the impression that swirls will come back a lot quicker if you use a waffle as spally has mentioned (back & forth).

If you really want to maintain the finish go with a quality wax that Matt recommends & also pat dry the car. Depending on where you live using a leaf blower is the best way to dry the car
I find that leaf blowing the car has maintained the look considerably but really depends if you are able to use one.
