Talking

10.30, after I returned from a cold and wet goodwood Mr Underwood arrives at my house from Plymouth (200 odd miles) and It is absolutely pi$$ing it down. Mark cracks on with the car all the same and gets drenched doing it. In between waiting for the rain to stop and the sun to come out (this did'nt happen) mark managed to get my baby clean and also get the cleanse and treated the car to the Wax Wizard show wax (Brazilian Carnuba wax) to give it that finish that we all know and love

Now-Doing it yourself is one thing, then watching the master in action is a different kettle of fish entirely. You would notice that there are a few different products that Mark uses that your every day wash and waxer would not.

I had masses of tar spots around the front arch (my scoob is silver so the difference is noticeable..massively), cue the Wax Wizard "clay bar". This is a truely amazing and clever tool. It simply removes (draws) the dirt/tar/bugs/brake dust/hard grime from the paintwork and then you complete the wash as normal. This is a sight worth paying the ammount for this detailed valet for.

To call it a "valet" is an understatement. I would describe the whole process as a lesson for the car to go back to how it felt as a virgin, before being exposed to less capable products and abrasive waxes.

The car does look brand spanking new, inside and out. The engine bay is immaculate and I have never seen a car be looked after in the way that Mark did mine today. Attention to detail *pah*, this was the norm on this valet.

Not only was I fascinated by the process' of the likes of the clay bar and the merlin wax but also the process of producing the waxes and the products is in itself a major achievement.

If you have not bought any of marks gear, do it. If you love your scoob, get Mark to come and give it the "full monty"

You will not be dissapointed.

Very well done mark.

Although I invested some of my hard-earned on Marks original Zymol products, time and suitable weather conditions have prevented me from reaping the rewards recently. However, the thought of the Wizard himself restoring the finish on my car back to 'better than original' condition after recent abuse is a tempting prospect indeed.

Mark, please e-mail details on the deal. But London is a heck of a long way!!!!

After goodwood at the weekend, I decided to give my car a wash down with warm water (I had the full WaxWizzard job done the previous weekend).. and basically the WaxWizzard stuff works amazing well, the car after a quick sponge down looked stunning and was easy to clean...

I am never going to use anything other than WaxWizzard from now on, its the best!

Thanks again Mark!

Scooby in Rugby? That's where my folks live... You could be getting yourself in to an "Underwood tour of the UK" if you're not careful.

Still really impressed with the stuff, and I'm probably using it wrongly.

Any news on a deal with Armourfend?

I'd already discussed with Mark about a trip to Edinburgh. I just need to find a few more cars to reduce the cost.

Maybe we can combine efforts?

If a trip by Mike is organised to Munna land......a stop off via Mid Cheshire would be nice

Only a couple of miles from M6 Junction...

It needs some TLC

I too would be interested in Mark's services (ooh err!) if he were to come to Edinburgh, assuming that I don't have to mortgage my first born child ...

Mark, how about it, and can you email an idea of cost at awilcockson@hotmail.com ?

Thanks,

I was actually in Long Ichiington, just a few miles from Rugby.

As to Armourfend...I highly recommend it. As to a deal they want to a franchise set up and restrict me to an area. I dont want a franchise and I certainly dont want an area as most of my work would be non regional etc etc.

Loooks like I have to plan a mega tour of the UK...London, Aylesbury, munna land, chesire, and edinburgh to name but a few places..sounds like I need a camper van for this tour. ANY MORE WHILST I AM IN THE PLANNING STAGE? If so...email me ASAP

You do have to wait for the rain to stop b4 applying and buffing the wax. When I did Ronnies car i used a combination of tricks and by doing a little bit in his garage and inbetween the showers (almost continuous).


Munna

details are being emailed to all interested parties VERY SOON (next hr or so)

Mark,
When is this grand UK tour planned for? If you are going to Edinburgh anyway, I could always take the car through from Glasgow, it would be rude not to, just think how the car would feel seeng all these clean cars and knowing it missed out .
Any chance on e-mailing us costs?

Cheers

Munna, No 'ffence intended mate

Yeah, its on the road with low boost disabled.....(oh what a shame !)
Can switch the unit off to default back to "normal", otherwise its a flame poppin' 1.3bar
And a shocking 17MPG....
Guess which I choose ?
