 My Roadster had a full detail done by a well known OC member ready for my daughters wedding.

Yes i know i should have done it myself but lack of time / products / expertise & the fact i wanted it looking its best for a special occasion = in my mind money well spent.<br /><br />Its always been in good condition & regularly washed / polished but for a 17 year old car i think its come up bloody amazing<br /><br />Now the hard part........keeping it like that.<br /><br />Heres a few pictures taken today. Hope you like. Will take more over the weekend with a nicer back drop…weather permitting!

Been thinking of obtaining a gold set for a change…Rota RBs maybe but must admit i would miss the green ones.

Not sure they would look too good on your red car though pollyana [;)]

looking good dave! i do like your wheels, you nearly didnt get them as i was seriously considering bidding on them!!! and i would have won!

 

i too cant figure out the picture sizing on here very odd!

 

how much did it cost just out of curiosity?

 i was the one who detailed dave’s car, it took 2 days and this was an enhancement detail rather than a full correction. This was due to the age and condition of the paintwork but as you can see from the pictures the car came out superb.

The car went through an 18stage wash process and was fully clayed before then machine polished with a couple of different types of compounds. The car was finished with 2 coats of DoDo Juice Banana Armour and then a final wipe down with DoDo Juice Red Mist.

If anyone would like to know more about the process the car went through or is interested in getting their car done then drop me a message and i will let you know more

YOU MISSED A BIT !! [;)] … sorry, just had to. I have that said to me every weekend. [|-)]

Looks great.
If you regularly keep on top of it it’s easy to keep clean.

I keep my Mark 1 clean by only driving it once a month[:D]
