Swirl Removal
 
3 Attachment(s)
I had a few patches on my car which were oxidising... so i thought id pamper my car a bit....

I found this guy local to me who has just set up a small business detailing cars.

So after a quic chat earlier in the week, i took it down to him this morning at 9:30

Hes just finshed washing, claying, swirl removing, sealant and waxed full exterior clean... with a total of 7 hours labour :shock:

I must admit i was shocked at the results, the two faded patches were alot worse than they appear in the below pictures... also note the wing looks like a completely different colour

I wasnt expecting much as it isnt even metallic paint... but the looks i got on the way back home was incredable... i didnt think it could come out that well.

Heres the guys website -> http://www.cleanworxdetailing.co.uk/



He even brought out some high powered lamp things... so i could be sure there wasnt one crppy swirl left 8)


Some more pics.... the sunroof was also a completely different colour

Re: Swirl Removal
 
yep its the original paint

yeah he used a buffer to remove the swirls...


the washing, claying, wax and sealant were all by hand though..

cost me £40 as i know the guy and he has only just started out with his business


Cheers for all your comments ;D

what is the best type of wax in your guys opinions? I need something that can shine, and protect, since it sits outside? btw, great rex man.

that detail for 40pounds is cheap. I spent over 12 hours on an SUV, a 2004 too. ---- was fithly. The claying takes about half the time. Then I polish with one polish, then polish with another, then maybe go over it one more time, then I wax it twice.

car looks great! Nothing like your car after a slick wax job.

those deep dish rims on the crx give me a limp cock, however the rest of your car is beautiful, solid work on the wax work.

IMO, Zymol, Mothers all makes really nice waxes/polishes
