Swirl Removal
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

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
.....
the results
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
Some more pics.... the sunroof was also a completely different colour
Terrified of bird ---- now though

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
