Done this over a week... It's a mate's other halfs car... There back off their holiday tomorrow.
Was asked to detail it inside and out, PDR and purchase/ fit rear parking sensors...

Before... Swirly car washed heap of poo!!!
Awful paint condition!!!





Interior cleaned





Parking sensors fitted ( factory positions marked on backside of bumper





£9.99 for rear sensor kit



Paintwork corrected...









Poorly door edge



Flatted



Paint and brush ready



And after clearcoat added

 

Bloody hell! didn't think it was that bad the other day! looks great now.

 

It was a shed!!!
I sunlight it was just embarrassing!!!
I exceeded my expectations on this one...

 

any idea what would be a rough estimate for getting the paintwork on a large sized car done? or how how many hours does it take to buff one up like this...? is it an all day job?

 

Not sure what a company would charge for this, there's stuff I've done that most wouldn't do...
There's a black blob eyed Impreza on here that's just been done, that was £150...
Never looked into costs/ prices...
No need to...
Done 4 pdr's on this... Pdr ain't cheap...
Fit parking sensors...
Chips, door details...
Then paint rectification plus interior spruce up...
It's a hobby to me, I enjoy being outside... It's peaceful...

A half decent detailer should be able to turn a car round in a day...
It baffles me some of these details you see where they've spent hundreds of hours on...
Must sit watching the polish dry!!!

 

There was some good scratches down this too



Required some flatting

 

Rinsed off and quick detailed as its been left out...
All ready to go...

 

Looks well mate, I could do with getting mine done it's full of swirl marks and handprints from the kids with sun cream on that I can never seem to shift

 

Top work mate, looks good. Detailing is a hobby of mine to. I dont do it as much as I would like but when I feel like it i'll take a good day on a car. Really want to try the scratch removal with flattening work but dont dare just yet.

Regarding costs, before I bought my Focus RS the guy had it all done and sealed etc. complete job, was billed at £400 so its not cheap. Again, I cant see why some people take 400hrs to do something.

Really good to see a car that bad get back to what it should be, even if it was a vauxhall.....

 

Amazing work matey.

What polish do you use on your buffer.

 

what a job. well done.

 

All sorts, depends on the job...
Got 3 machines, all for doing different processes...

 

What a difference mate, makes me think my golf is worth doing now lol

Lol whats the difference in the 3 machines.

 

Rotary
21 mm throw da
15mm throw da

 

Is the 21mm on for big panels.

 

Can be used all over in the right hands, it's a more powerful machine, bigger throw, faster correction...

 

What type of heads do you use on the buffers. Can you wash them out when they have been used.

 

Again depends on job...
Got Lambswool heads
Foam heads

Can rinse them, soak them...

 

very nice job.

 

I still wanna give my buffer a go but im so scared incase i fook tje paint .

 

Buy a scrap panel and practice or come here for the day and I'll try help you out?
Is yours a rotary or Da?

 

I think is a rotay one lol. I got it given ages ago. I bought the mop heads for it but that was as far as i got.
