Black STi4 + Pro-Valeting = :-)
 

For Xmas I bought myself a full valet from Roy at Pro-Valeting. As ever, Roy did a fabulous job, as I think you will agree from the pics.

The car was not too bad beforehand, although I didn't realise it had a red fleck in it! The carbon bonnet was looking a bit milky and slightly yellow, which was putting me right off it. I knew however, that Roy would make it look special. I was still amazed at the finish though and the quality of reflections are amazing!

Sorry I don't know much about the technicalities of all this - I am just very very happy with my shiny car :-) ... Roy cleaned the car 3 or 4 times (with Swisswax Car Bath I believe), he then used a Do Do Juice pre-wax cleaner thing (sorry don't know exact name) and then finished with an all in one protector, waxer, polisher cream (smells like cherries) on a machine polisher. I believe there was then some hand polishing (or waxing) done after that - not sure I was getting ready for a night out ;-)

Like I said, I am just happy with how it looks now, Roy if you are around maybe you could add some better details of the process? Amazingly, Roy hasn't finished yet - he isn't 100% happy with certain areas, including the carbon bonnet, so he is coming back for more in the New Year!

I can thoroughly recommend Roy - he is a hard worker, gets fab results and is also a very nice chap :-)

This is a couple of hours before Roy had fully finished:

Next day in the light - can't believe it is the same bonnet (sorry I forgot to take a before pic):

Now I need to fix my decals to do it all justice!

Thanks for looking all!

If you don't mind me asking how much did it cost ? I'm getting mine detailed in the new year sometime, got to get a few things sorted first (bumper scuff and couple of dings) I've found this chap that'll do it for £215. Where abouts is pro-valeting based the webste is down at the mnute.

sent you a PM BooSH :thumb:

He's based at Brampton, Cambs. Website been down for a while now....

I'm gonna get my car detailed in the next couple of months, like BooSH I have a few bits that need sorting first in the bodyshop which should hopefully be this month.

So that price of £215 is for a large car, but I'd class a scoob as a medium car if anything??

Craig at Muddy Detail is supposed to be very very good as well, and he also gives discount for SIDC members. :cool:

So come on Liz, don't be shy, tell us what you paid! :D

ditto

could be plenty of work for em!!

I have seen some of the work from Hotwaxxx on detailing world and he does a top job. I did my brothers Scooby in the summer and I was on it for about 10 hours, it is suprising how much needs to be polished. A couple of pics

Obviously depends what you get done, what products need to be used to get the desired finish and so on... a full day of Roys time costs in the region of £250. But best to ring him (phone number is on that link) to discuss your requirements.

Looking good
