Envy Valeting

There will be!I#m getting ready to roll now, Rich will be a bit tired

Edited to say 09.30 for a 10.00 start. If you dont want the free coffee and biscuits before it starts feel free to rock up at 09.59 Hoping for "ok" weather tomorrow!

STOP PRESS: 1 slot has become free, so if there are still any reserves step up and claim this slot

Morning all. Yeah as Geo has kindly pointed out Meguiars recommend you print out the Streetmap page too, as well as the post code for your Satnav's as the Industrial Estate is split into 2 and you dont want to end up in the wrong half:) Please be there ready for 09.30 as its a 10.00 am start. Have a safe trip and see you tomorrow. Tim ps they have a large "seconds bin" of dented products etc so bring some cash

Sorry to see the list is being chopped about at this late stage As an aside if anyone needs bulky stuff I stock bringing such as snow foam/buckets etc that I stock please PM me by Monday night and I'll bring it with me. Will save £7.99 worth of P+P for peeps. Geoler and Zugara, I'd offer you a lift but I'm going after to see a customer in the area...sorry guys, plus my vans too fast for you anyway (if only.......)

Thanks Martin.Thanks for all the comments. I'm proud to say that today I got told the Ferrari got 2nd place out of all the cars at the NEC for Best of Show. Despite it being 2nd, I'm chuffed as there was a lot of beautiful metal there

Send me a PM about your car, colour, how long you want to spend doing it etc and I'll be happy to advise

Another pre-sale detail for me this week. Wheels cleaned 1st with Espuma Revolution diluted 10:1 and Envy Brushes. Followed up by Espuma Activo foaming TFR. Wheels very tar covered so used Espuma TGB, very much like Tardis but less powerful. Door shuts, spoiler areas etc all cleaned with Envy Brushes and G202. Washed with TBM, Espuma Astro shampoo and the trusty Z sponge. Dried off then clayed...ready to use cleaner fluid by PC Wax of choice, left on to cure whilst I dressed tyres, polished exhausts, exterior glass and rubber trim. Making progress.. Interior hoovered, leather cleaned and conditioned with Dr Leathers wipes. Glass cleaned with Espuma Glass green. Plastic bits with Dasheen. Afters are a bit of a let down as it was raining by now so they are in the garage. Thanks for looking Tim

Evening all! Not had a lot of time for write ups of late, so this is more of a collection of whats been going on recently with Envy Valeting. The amout of "after" pics outside has been hampered by the clocks going back, and the poxy UK weather grrrr. My 1st GTR topped with BOS protection detail Bentley Flying Spur Speed, protection detail (inside and out) with Jeffs products and leather cleaned with Dr Leather's wipes. Quickie on the Brera Crystal Rock top up and interior detail on the Vanquish S Corrected earlier in the year prior to being at a car show. Ferrari 250 GTE to be shown on the Ferrari owners club stand at the Classic car show 2010. Protection detail inside/out topped off with Swissvax Scuderia. On stand Lancia Delta Integrale Evo 2, protection detail inside/out topped with SW Scuderia Thanks for looking and any questions I'll do my best to answer Tim

Looks very nice Paul, real work of art there

The dangers of the "1 bucket method" clear for all to see

Thanks for the support Garry

Looking forward to creating a winter scene on my driveway and garden! No ice mind you.... If you snow foam it and it freezes you would have a lovely igloo shaped like a 350z I've never used snow foam and a lance I'm guessing it dissolves all the dirt and muck and saves you scrubbing away with a sponge does it Yup been there and had snow in my snow foam. Get one hell of a long dwell time once it freezes on Basically the idea is it helps to reduce the actual hands on time involved in cleaning the car. If you have a filthy car the last thing you really want to do is take a mitt/sponge to your car and rub! Snow foam the vehicle 1st, allow it to dwell (cling) for 5-10 mins. You will be amazed at how much dirt you see on the ground as it runs off. Rinse off with your pressure washer and wash as normal. On a well waxed/prepped car sometimes you can get away with just a snow foam wash and you're done. I love it when that happens HTH Tim

Many thanks to WASSO for your order!

Its just as easy to get it shipped to you now Garry tbh if you want?

HI Chris, yes to the pH neutral (just rang Mark to double check)Shipping to NI is always costly and it costs Autobrite £13.99 to send to NI. They have agreed to do the SSF (10L) for £38.99 delivered to you. If thats any good please let me know. Best wishes Tim

Just heard you now, but you'll need to be louder to really get my attention

Camaro mate, sounds soooooo loud!

A neglected 996 Turbo gets the Envy treatment The victim before she was attacked Washed via the usual Envy Valeting process. Wheels cleaned with Espuma Revolution at 10:1 and Envy Brushes. Door shuts pre-soaked with G202. Foamed with Bubbly Jubbly snow foam and left to dwell for 10 mins. Rinsed off then washed with Espuma Astro shampoo, Meguiars bucket and grit guards (x2) and a trusty lambswool washmitt. Rinsed and dried off. Clayed for the 1st time ever, so a pretty good result. Paint cleansed with Swissvax CF, then waxed with Best of Show. Tyres dressed with RD50, glass cleaned, tail pipes buffed, hoovered, leather cleaned and conditioned, plastics dressed etc etc. The end result:

NO Dave, it'll be a nightmare to deal with now, but in the light of above I wish I had

I've only just re-found this thread recently so had not been looking at it. I'm not on here every day, possibly not even every week!The date is BOOKED and why I asked for only serious people to put their names down for places. Sorry you cant make it but the date was definate from the day I posted the thread up, I wasnt gauging interest etc.
