    Had this 6 month old car for a few days to get looking its best.

    Vehicle recieved the usual wash stages -foamed, washed, clayed etc etc

    ENGINE BAY
    The carbon fiber in the engine bay was not looking its best, all area's that I could access with a machine were done machine and remaining area's were done by hand. Plastics and rubber were treated with SV Pneu

    50/50

    INTERIOR
    Client asked me to look at the carbon fiber inserts on the drivers door as he catches them with his shoes when climbing in and out.

    The interior also seen the leather cleaned and protected using LTT and plastics wiped down with Einzett Cockpit Premium.

    CORRECTION
    Bulk of this was carried out using Menz 3.02 on a Megs Cutting pad whilst some areas only needed a polishing pad

    Once all correction work was complete I refined the paint using Megs 205

    For protection Zaino was used, 1 coat of AIO followed by 3 coats of Z2 applied to all paintwork including door shuts. Wheels were protected with AIO, 2 coats of Z2. Tyres dressed with Z16

    THE END RESULT

    its just a barn thats been converted, some work to be done over the next few weeks to it. Only just got the floor concreted after waiting 2 months. Got the painters in next week so that will be another job out the way. Few more electric sockets to go in and some metal halide lighting when my electricain friend finds the time in his busy diary

    Its not my ideal unit buts its dry and secure and very cheap

    I dont do enough local work to warrant spending £800+ a month on a nice unit like I want as must of my work involves me traveling to other places in UK. Thats alot of money a month for a place which woulddnt be used often.



    thanks to everyone else for their comments, much appreciated:thumb::thumb:
