Hi all,

Had my car into JKPDetail for a light machine polish/winter protection detail today (it will be fully corrected when the weather is good). It's hard to describe the paint quality and marks on the car but it was quite badly swirled, some parts had little or no reflection on them and it had needed a bit of work to put it back to how it should be.

Since purchase it has only been pressure washed/snow foamed and washed a couple of times using 2BM with decent products/washmits etc in preparation for the paint being corrected.

Here are a couple of pics to give you an idea of the paintwork - hard to see the worst aspects but bear in mind this is a new car, only 7 weeks old:





And here is some of the clay during:



Car taped up, mid-polishing and getting there:




And some of the afters (light fading):






Big thanks to John of JKPDetail for his excellent work, putting up with the notoriously difficult Subaru paint and getting such excellent results in just one day. It is such a huge improvement in the flesh and the panels now have excellent reflections they did not do before.

The car is finished with 2 coats of Dodojuice Supernatural Wax.

looks great for it, amazed at the condition for 7 weeks though.............

 

It's been washed with a brush/sponge/floor brush/sand paper (delete as appropriate) before purchase I think...not sure.

Just poor washing technique I think.

looks fantastic in the red and rare colour too

its amazing how it scratches my WR blue one has a few light marks despite 2b method etc so looking forward to getting the Daz 6 machine out when the sun eventually comes to us

 

Must admit I've never seen another red in person, and only one other one on a UK forum.

Amazing colour for it!

 

Lovely colour that good effort

 

Looks fab pal... well worth the detail

Mine desperatly needs doing as well... I've been a bad owner and neglected it! (ie Let the wife drive it all week and been to busy at weekends to clean it)

 

Amazing differance on a new car

 

Nice results there mate.

Cheers - and it's now HATCHmania

 

Good lord that is one intense polish, very nice indeed!!

 

now thats clean, i can never spend that long cleaning my car anymore (1 year old boy). so £5 quickwash is all she gets now...

wiley

 

looks mint mate.

 

How much did they charge you HM?

Firms down here are £220-£350 for a full detail to include clay bar, intense polish & double wax....

Looks like I need to break out my old Swissol wax, Meguires polish and some elbow grease

 

Looks great

 

It depends on time really - many companies are £20 - £30 per hour so it's don to how much machining it is getting, what quality of product is used (especially sealants and waxes) and also extras like getting the interior done, leather treated, wheels done, arches dressed etc.

£250 for a full detail is good as that would take 2 days + on a car that needs a good bit of machining (most)...some can take 5 days +

See A world for detailers... for hundreds of amazing jobs, restorations and generally care of cars of all ages and mileages...

The only way I'll get mine looking like that is to respray it
