Some top work there,it's all about the prepwork and finishing to get it as shiny as that,the guy clearly knows his stuff and you being a valeter it should end up staying nice too.

Cheers Vaughant!, Yes he was recomended by a mate of mine who is very fussy with his paintwork! so i knew he was the bloke as he had just set out on his own and would take pride in his work , and yes your right about me being a valeter.......i break a sweat if i use my window washers lol!

Thanks bud, it was gunna be a everyday car, but i have bought a bmw for the weekdays now as i will be able to use it without worrying about leaving it places etc, so the fiesta will be a weekend/nice weather car by the looks of it .....though this DOESNT mean she wont get drove like a RS is meant to when she is out and about
