"The Boss" has just had the full treatment and I just had to share it with you all.

Must give a huge thanks to "Booster" an "Dan_S V8" (on HSV.Org.Uk) for an absolutely spanking job - Jeez, the only time a car can ever look that good is when it's just come out of the spray bay during manufacturing.

Firstly, the scale of the task..

I would say deffo!!!
Looking at the car and colour the detailer probably had a makita or pc and i would guess he Menzerna ip,d it with polish pad then pc,d it at approx 1200rpm then used blackfire or equivalent finishing polish via pc then clayed car over...I would then guess he washed car again with zymol clear bathe and then wiped the whole car with zymol hd cleanse before finishing off with hand applied zyol destiny and buffed...He would probably have advised boss to give car wipe over with mf about 4 hours later as gives zymol time to settle and gives swirl free mirror finish.....
Boss did he use a brinkmann on the car first to see spiderwebbing or was you not too concerned about swirls and was just after getting great depth and clarity to the paintwork?

If you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost to get a shine like that?

Cheers,

Any chance of a discount if enough of us book up.

I know i have a booking with some one else for the summer but it might help the other members.
