Got my car detailed

[Vampyrebat]

WOW!!

 

[Doohickey]

The chap that did mine will do the stone chips if you give him the paint code. In the end the rate at which mine chips, due to the mileage, I skipped that and will probably just get the front end sprayed after next years road trip. Then re-corrected and ceramic coated.

Edit: Here was a picture I got when it was being detailed:

I've seen the end result and it is bl00dy good. Was it Max Car Care IIRC?

It was Nick at Max Care Care. He had the car for a week and spent 3 days cutting to get it to that.

That is a car transformed, Mark. You must be chuffed with that. Good work by yer man.

It looks mint. Just don't want to get her dirty now.
So pleased that he sorted all the bits that I was told would need respraying, when a good detailer could sort them.

It turned out better than I could have imagined. Got more thumbs up and people staring than normal in the drive back to Kent.

Looks great!

Don't worry about getting her dirty. Mine cleans so much easier since I had it detailed and ceramic coated.

As car washing will be out for several weeks following some spinal surgery I'm due, I had my run-around Impreza with 160k on the clock recently professionally clayed and polished, and I'm not sure what else my brilliant detailer did - the car looks amazing and the rain even washed the bird poo off!

 

[Contigo]

All cars need a correction detail to remove all swirls. I’ve used Nick at DMC for all my cars and never been disappointed. Mine has c-quartz crystal serum lite on it now but products are inproving all the time... you are talking 6 months protection max nowhere near 7 years....

 

[Felonious Crud]

Agreed - you need to keep it fresh. Mine has just had a top-up of its silicon carbon ceramic blah-blah, courtesy of Stuart from F1 Wax.

 

[alfi boy]

You won’t be disappointed.

You were right Darren certainly works his magic and at a very fair price, thanks again for posting his details hypergloss.pvd@gmail.com

So my old Gransport, now with RG, is registered WA05EYD

That’s strange, mine was registered by Carrs in Devon from new I wonder if they registered yours too!

Plus the cost of the front end respray to get rid of the stone chips first before anything else. The cost of the front end respray will vary depending on if its the front bumper only (made of PU? - polyurethane?) or back to metal on bonnet (waste of time filling in stone chips on the metal bonnet) and possibly blend into the front wings and spray the back of the mirrors

Have just had the complete front resprayed - really to remove the stone chips but the bodyshop felt it needed to be taken back to the doors and blended in. Beautiful job and with the headlamps reground and a small rust repair to the inside bootlid, the whole thing was a little over £1K. Very happy. Oh and I did get the V8 badges replaced too.

 

[cheshiremaserati]

That's a very low price for a beautiful job. Did you have the bumper and front air spoiler, bonnet back to metal resprayed, the wings sprayed and blend into the doors all for £1k?

let us know who it is - I will join the orderly queue of other Masser owners........

Well done on getting such a good job for that price. The Turbo (two years back) was around £2500 and they didn't do the wings - only blend into the tops and never ventured into the doors. But got the full aerokit front splitter, PU bumper, bonnet back to metal resprayed and they did the backs of the mirrors as there were stone chip splatters on them. I then paid extra after a month after the lacquer dried for a full machine polish (3-4 days) and SwissVax treatment.

I had my 2009 QP 4.7 detailed two years ago and then treated with 2 coats of Ceramic Pro 9h ( polymer coating). It looks incredible and only cost £1000 for the whole car, wheels, brake calipers and window glass. 2 years later and it still shrugs off dirt and water like a ducks back. Well worth it and takes away all the hard work of waxing.
