Mark Underwood (aka The Wax Wizard) came to spiff up my car today, and I thought I'd post a couple of pictures.

Here's the engine bay before:


And here it is afterwards:


Here's a close up of the block (before):


and after:


And a few "After" shots of the exterior. The piccies don't really do justice to how the look of the car has improved since I posted the last pictures, but it's definatley more shiny!





Can't wait to go for a cruise in it!

That engine looks amazing !

Not so sure about shiny tyres but they always tend to look better after a few days anyway, how long was spent on that bay ?

Carlos, Just ask Mark, he seems to go just about anywhere & there is no harm in asking. He tends to plan several jobs on each trip so if timings not important you could be lucky.

Tim,

I believe the cleaner is based on grapefruit juice.

I kid you not.

For service prices - please ask Mark, as he's the guy who did it.
His contact details are here.
The price I payed may be different to the price quoted for you, as the car is relatively small.

However, I will say that you do get value for money!
