cracking job, but wonder if the car had enough value in it to make this level of cleaning worth while?
just a tought thats all |
Ok, here's an example for you:
Say the M3 was for sale and it was advertised in the condition it arrived at us in compared to how it looked when it left, do you not think you could easily add another £400 or £500 minimum to the asking price post detail? (keeping in mind that the above service we carried out on the car was £280 + VAT) I know dozens of previous customers have done so and sold their cars to the first viewer (including an elise owner who made a grand over previous quoted price by the dealers once we'd detailed it :thumb:) |
that is smart as funk:luvlove:....i would love a m3 one day oh yes.:cool:
|
Cracking job Clark,and the before and after shots would definatly add £500 to the value,if not more,a nice looking M3.
Is the Nanolex better than Werkstatt,whats your thoughts ?? |

That's a great turn around. With the wheels refurbed I'd say that it will have added upto £1k on the value. I've detailed cars ready for sale and the owners have ended up keeping them instead because of how the car looks afterwards.

Cracking job as usual:notworthy How do you protect the electrics in the engine bay when you pressure wash them?:wonder:

If you work with care, avoiding intakes and exposed electrical connectors you should have nothing to worry about. Check for exposed connections and wrap them, ideally in tin foil to protect them from water. Pressure washers don't use a great deal of water but will drive what water there is in connectors under a lot of pressure. Most modern engines are pretty well protected anyway. If in doubt, steer clear or wrap areas up. We always work on a cold engine and start it up after washing. :) |

tbh i hadn't realised it was that cheap, all the real good details like this always seem to be into 4 figures. i was weighing up a 11k car against a 1k wash.
for £350 seems well worth it considering the result :thumb: Great job Clark :thumb: |

Werkstatt was awesome on my Spec D btw mate. recommend it any day.

Thats what I have been using after Chris from these very forums very kindly sent me some to try. It is fantastic but the nanolex looks good as well. "only having to clean the car on a semi regular basis" due to "self cleaning" and only needing to apply every 2years sounds almost too good to be true.

Very different: Nanolex Professional (which was used here) has to be applied in quite a specific fashion, applied and buffed quickly and carefully and allowed to cure for 12hours, indoors, with a temperature of between 15 and 30 degress centigrade. Werkstat is probably the easiest system on the market to use, isn't fussy about temperature etc. Nanolex is incredibly durable and leaves, as you can see here, a great finish. Werkstat isn't as durable but is easier to apply and you're obviously also familiar with the results it offers. It's a tough choice: if you don't have a warm garage (or a garage in the summer), Werkstat will be better, if you don't have a warm work area. :) |
How about Nanolex premium for ease of application and performance? I get the impression its somewhere in the middle of Werkstatt and the Nanolex professional. Would that be about right?

Always amazes me how some people neglect their cars :nono: That interior was like a pigsty :D Great job anyway :thumb:
|
Top job mate! Defo worth the money.
|
Owner must have been gobsmacked when he saw it finished :cool:
