Default I've never seen such a dirty car!

As above, it was filthy! only joking. Kev D asked me to detail his scooby for him. Why> you may ask. Yes it is always spotless but there were a few swirls and scratches that needed to be worked out. I forgot my camera so Kev took a couple of afters. We started at about 9:15 and after a few cups of coffee, cheese and onion sarnies (cheers Paula), and a visit from the big fella it was finished at about 7:30.











and finally the pic that shows just how gorgeous this car came up. not sure who the ugly bloke in the reflection is though

Must say i spent an hour or so with Kev & Matt this afternoon & was amazed @ the difference that Matt was making to Kevs spotless car

You could just see the nasty little swirl marks dissapear , And it really was a mirror finish

Black looked lovely & looked so deep & wet to touch

Great work Matt

I Must add the photos do not do it justice


It must be seen in the flesh ( Best look in Kev's Garage as it never comes out )

Im told it will be making an appearance @ The BTCC @ Brands & maybe @ The Lodge if it's dry

How's that for dedication, even details his car in an ESC t-shirt

Looks stunning mate, well done Matt - again

Out of interest what wax / sealant did you use on it?

I am off to Menorca on the 3rd September to the 20th, but when I get back I wouldn't mind you having a go at mine.
I try to keep it clean, but there are too many swirl marks on it for my liking!
