    when i was detailing the zonda at the motor show i was asked when can you do my aston lol

    got talking to the client and was telling me his aston that he has had for a few months and needs a good detail (not wrong there lol). i told him you would have to wait about 4 weeks for it to be detailed, but he was lucky as 1 of my clients had to go away this so i slotted him in yesterday,

    so off to aberdeen yesterday, got to the client`s house at 8am and some wicked roads where he stayed:thumb:


    this is how it looked on arival

    then clean the wheels getting the inside of the wheels with the best brush for the job. the EZ brush

    [​IMG]

    and it has no problems in tight spots:thumb:
