Default Had My S202 Detailed

I picked my car up this evening from Eclipse Auto Valeting and I would just like to thank Peter for the first class job he has done detailing my car.

The paint on my car is black/blue mica and up until now you could only see the blue tinting in the bright sunshine or at night by shining torchlight onto it.

I would recommend anyone to have their car deswirled and detailed by Peter.

The difference is like night and day, you can see the blue tint coming through but also red, gold, green and purple flecks in the paint as well.

I haven't had a chance yet to take any pics but I'll take some tomorrow at PCAD, have a good look tomorrow and you'll be amazed by the results.

I also had the 'spare' set of S202 wheels refurbished by APS Alloys while the car was off the road, again Steve @ APS has done a tremendous job and they literally look better than new.

The gold/bronze colour had been destroyed and there was quite a lot of scrapes/damage to boot as well, again have a look tomorrow at PCAD, I'll also post tomorrow as well.

Steve also took the time and trouble to ensure a correct colour match to the original colour and had to get his paint supplier to custom match the colour.

If anyone needs their car detailed or their wheels refurbished you need look no further than both of these companies.

thanks ty for your kind words , appreciate your business ,ill post up a few pics ,


,snowfoamed ,washed, dried , clayed.
thickness of the paint wash checked a few weeks ago , bit thin but plenty to work with .
i removed the spoiler , as it was easier to machine the boot lid with it off

.
correction % id say 85 % acheived
after a rewash and dry to remove the dust , car was sealed with duragloss and a coat of DODO blue velvet applied .
new allys fitted today ,couple of final pics

I think I would rather be doing my own job Gareth anyday, if I got hold of the machine polisher it would be straight through the paintwork and down to bare metal in seconds.

They don't come up for sale too often, good luck finding one.

Thanks Jon, I think the spoiler will be staying on the car though...

If I was with the car you should have asked, I would happily have opened her up for you to have a good look inside.
