Very good job

 

Looks excellent mk1 frs look so good when there looked after

 

Thank you for the positive comments guys

Was done by machine mate, its not 100% corrected as i talked him out of doing that due to the car being a daily driver but i would say about 70-75% corrected but detailing is more than just correction.

 

How much do you charge to do this then?

 

Interested in a price for my Mk4 Golf GTi daily. Work in Brum also

 

Very nice


Brian

Thanks mate

Do you mean the "Brilliant" range?
Its the first time i have really used it and to be honest i was really impressed as i didn't expect much seeing as its very watery, although i think i used too much.
May give it a quick try on the exhaust of the cosworth tomorrow as a proper test for it, i will let you know the results as will take a few pics.

 

looks great just got a delivery of stuff from clean your car and i want to go use it on my frs now lol, mine needs a machine polish too.

 

If you do not have a machine poliser you can still get good results.
Have a read through some of the stickys at the top of this section by Polished Bliss.
Once you have done your car get some pics up also as this is quite a quiet section so think it needs more posts

 

fella wheres the chargecooler resivoir cap???

looks top notch though !!might pay for mine to get detailed in the spring!!

 

He lost it some how, lol
Think he is getting one sorted for it though.

Thank you for the kind words mate
