Default Got my esc cos detailed 'pics'

Went and got the cossie detailed as it looked good from a distance and certain lights but when up close it was covered in swirl marks etc.

heres pics of the results and a link to pics as it was being done....









Well happy with the results

will look great sitting in your garage until you trailer it to the next show,don't mean to be ignorant but what kind of pleasure do you get out of parking a car in your garage and polishing it,is it just to make up for a lack of mechanical knowledge,do you bolt on the shiny chrome bits yourself or have a grease monkey come do it for you,do you let him wear his oily boots/clothes in your garage or does he have to strip and put on a kind of csi style white suit and gloves at the door before going near your car,have gone a wee bit bufty on mine but the full blown bufty mentality i just dont understand,hope you can shed some light for me
p:s when i say bufty i mean obsessive car polisher as i have been accused of being homophobic when using this term in the past

tis a bit strong! I think the purpose of having it detailed is to protect the paint, meaning aslong as you keep up with cleaning it (by hand with a bucket!) it will continue to look good!

And for £200 i think that is good as it is very hard work but definately worth it!

Stunning looking escort mate

nice job there

do you know what products were used ?


detailing can vary in time depending on correction required etc. and cost will depend on the same and on products used. ive done jobs from a couple of hours and £60 to 3 days and a few bit more in price

I do it as a sideline and get much enjoyment out of the finished job. Just try and get people to part with that sort of money is the hard thing
