Default Had my MK2 focus RS detailed

Well after 3 (long days) for James (Space hoppers on here) has made my car look better than new
I new I was in safe hand as anybody than know him and how he is about his cossy but really didn't think it could look soooooo much better as I thought I kept clean and tidy washed it in the right way(guess I was wrong lol)
I can honestly recommend him as the finish better than new so if you want the the same thing doing have a look at www.sportscarprotection.com there are some very nice pics on the site of some awesome motors

Anyway I will let the pics do the talking

for price best speak to james as I'm sure he will look after an RS owner

As for washing it I'm quite careful.... Or so I thought 2 buckets lambswool wash mitt microfiber drying towels Etc so I am hoping the damage was done in the 2-3 month that it was the sales managers car at my local ford dealer,

The job I went for is a restoration detail. But like I say speak to james and I'm sure he'll look after you!!

I love detailing cars, so rewarding and is one of those things that you can turn round to all those that think your sad/daft/pointless and show them theyre wrong by saying nothing. Also when they make comments like ' itl be dirty again as soon as it rains ' , well i detailed a my black ST 3 weekends ago and its rained 4 times, done 450 miles and workmen dug up the road right next to it and its still very clean as the dirt just falls off when the paint is so glass like

Cheers Matt the pics look great. For those who think its expensive if you work out the hourly rate its only about £20 an hour. When finished it will look better than when it was new and will add value to your car. With the system we use if you wash it correctly it will never be have to be paint corrected again.I will do a discount for all members of 10% on any detail we do. I am going to be doing the RSOC secretary,s MK2 FRS soon. Thanks for the great comments guys
