    The owner of the TVR I did few months back brought this to me just a few hours after collecting it (89 miles on clock) and left it with me for a few days. As much as he wanted to enjoy the car he thought it would be best to get it detailed from the start and get some protection film applied, after I finished it was collected from my workshop to go to Peterborough for a few days to get the boys from PaintShield to do their stuff

    On to the detail.

    Wheels cleaned with P21S wheel gel

    After all wash stages were complete the wheels were removed to add some good protection.. Before application of protection the wheels were polished by hand to add a bit more gloss

    Once all defects were removed the paintwork burnished with Menz 85rd on a Megs finishing

    All glass was sealed with Nanolex

    Leather cleaned and conditioned with Swissvax

    SV cleaner fluid was applied/removed by hand and then paintwork was topped with Swissvax Divine. A second layer of Divine was added the following day.

    stunning work, Jayplay! So, how do you like Nanolex sealant so far? Is it worth the cost? Does it actually outlast others? Any online retailers that will ship it to U.S.?

    Vehicle looks great Jay, always good to see some details from you :peace:

    I'm not a big fan of the GTR's, not my cup of tie :shrug:

    In the U.S, we put liquids in cups, not dress clothes. You people are wacky.


    Nice job! Looks incredible. Are you just trying those Nanolex products out or are they tried and true?

    great work for sure. reminds me, i should start using my cleaner fluid sometime soon. IMO it really does make a difference, especially in looks alone, just after applying and removing the cleaner fluid, especially on black.

    Not sure I have ever seen a blue one, just red, white and variety of silver colors

    I have the paint sealant on my van and very happy with the results so far, its only been on for about 5 months though

    Not sure about online retailers that will ship but will check for you

    I have tried and tested all the products but the wheel sealant, the others have upheld well so hopefully the wheel sealant should. I will be maintaining the car so will find out

    yes it does make a difference, it also makes appling the wax so much easier

    Thanks


    Thanks to everyone else for your comments, much appreciated guys:thumb::thumb:
