Default Some Shiny Cars

I have been thinking about posting up some of my work for a little while now and the Sun has inspired me to finally do it.

As some of you know I like to detail cars as a hobby in a very similar way to TangoMan. Over the past 2 -3 yrs I have detailed tens and tens of cars and now have a growing number of clients that I regularly valet their cars for them.

I have valeted everything from a French Pug 306 to all the way up to an NSX. With a number of S2000's along the way, a few Jags, a couple of BMW's, the odd Audi, Merc and a new shape Civic.

So I thought I would post up some before and afters (and in some cases just the afters). My valets would normally take some 8 hours and at least 25 stages to perform on each car. I use a Dewalt Random orbital buffer for the machine polishing and products from some of the leading manufacturers.


This is not an advert for my work or services just want to show some of my efforts - and enjoy some shiny cars (even if some are a little mundane)


To start here are some of my current and old cars

My old S


My new S


An Audi A3 2.0 TDI Sline





Jag XJS V12 6.0





BMW 328i Convertible



My Wife's Mazda 2



Rav4



The French 306



New Shape Honda Civic

After




Toyota Yaris

Some of these cars are owned by board members so you might see them out and about.

Great pics, I too love to detail my car, not found as much time since I have moved house recently, but intend to spend a whole day detailing the yellow beast as soon as I can.

Out of interest, how can you tell it's your old one?
