    Owner of this contacted me after haing a detailer/valeter made a mess of the paintwork. Whilst it was in for some service work at the dealership they had washed it and inflicted some swirls and scratches so client got his local valeter/detailer to rectify these defects but they ended up leaving the paintwork looking alot worse.

    Some of the damage they inflicted from there poor machine polishing skills:banghead:

    Carn Welcome to Detailing

    Beautiful work Jay, that thing was knackered :thumb:

    I really love how crisp your finished outdoor shots look. I assume you are using an DSLR for the after shots?

    Looking at some of the indoor pics I see you have a 3M sun gun and what looks to be a Brinkman. Is there any reason for using 2 different torches, and if so why?

    Sorry for all the questions...
