Default Had me car detailed by rsmat today/ New dash fitted.

Cut along story short sorted a trip to mat for a detail today, I'll let the pictures do the talking.

Covered in snow foam





Then blasted off and a dry, at this point I was happy with the car how it was!





Then it's was time to let loose with the polish and wax!








Then it decided to rain and found all these dodgey paint blister lol




Few shots of the underneath which hasn't been cleaned since it was fully built and its seen a few dodgey days lol, going to get it all spotless at some point.




Am over the moon with the outcome it looks stunning to say the least

Looks good

I know what you mean about the "at this point I thought it was done" bit, I go outside sometimes to see how the mrs is getting on with a car and she'll have just washed it and I think it looks mint, then she proceeds to spent the next 5 hours applying all sorts of products and treatments and polishes etc from that point, although i must admit it does then look even better, but fuck me what a lot of effort just for a bird to shit on it soon anyway, lol

Do you want to swap your lass with mine!!!

Theres alot more involved when cleaning your car than i thought, but it was ace when it pissed it down to see the rain just slipping off your paint! the car sort of just dries its self dreading the bird shit lol.
