Wow, that last photo looked to me to be uncorrectable... great to see them able to get it shining again.

What had caused the earlier damage??...Kosovan-Car-washes?

4 days?! Granted, it now looks great, but that’s a very long time to spend cleaning a car. Dare we ask the (approximate) cost?

Wasn't that last photo what they did to correct?

That would cost around £1800 for a 4 day job by my estimate. Nothing less than £1500.
it is a really nice result. You will need to take extra care using a 2-bucket method to wash the car and try to use an air dryer to avoid adding swirl marks from towels used to dry the water.

Sandpaper? No wonder it took four days. Looks very very clean. You could dive into that bonnet.
Are you thinking about PPF to seal in the shine?

I have a water filter from Race Glaze. I snow foam, do the wheels, blast off the snow foam, then wash the car, and rinse it with filtered water, and blow dry it with a leaf blower. If i have a chance il go over it with some QD, but thats it. Tyre dressing and exhausts job done. Neighbours probably think im mental blow drying the car, but i dont care. Lol

The Race Glaze water filters are excellent. Reduces my water hardness from over 400ppm to 0. Refliing the cylinder is a faff, but worth it.

Although it should mean I don't need to dry the car, I can't help it. I still use a towel, but very carefully. The front PPF has given me a bit more freedom to not be too paranoid, but I'm still careful.

Not at all I have one of these and you cannot beat them, they really are powerful and dries the car in no time, highly recommend these.
