helimeddaz Posted March 27, 2010 Author Share Posted March 27, 2010 Well.......Where do I start....? Dave finished at 4:15. To say this bloke is fastidious (good word) is 1 thing, but I think he's borderline OCD. When you look at the pics it's the detail (No Pun) that impresses me most. Get this!... He put stripes in my mats and cleaned and protected the inside (Yes the inside) of my exhaust tips...Now come on that is impressive ! Obviously the car is only a year old , so the paint should be in good nick, but no B.S. its better than when I drove it out of the show room. I don't know all the things he's done to the paint, but it's magic. If he'd told me he'd shined it with Dragon P*&S I'd believe him. Its just soooo good. All the pearl and metallic is vibrant and the finish is like glass. The picture speak for themselves, Oh and he even shined the wheel arch liners (Mad).... Hope you like the pics............. Before... After...... Before..... After..... Need I say More? Dave has left me some card and vouchers for 10% off for members. Hes supplies the products he uses...And he will post on this thread what he's done to my Z.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuck Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Car looks amazing. I'll have to get my other half to have a chat with yours when it comes around to my birthday. Maybe she can point her in the right way, my hints don't seem to work I know from experience (today for 3 hours) that cleaning the wheels inside and out, and doing the wheel liners is a pain in the backside.

bronzee Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Looks absolutely stunning. Some nice "pop" going on there. The only thing I would comment on is ideally one should have the tyre dry before applying tyre protectant/shine to ensure full coverage. Really love job though.

Some of the images were taken part way through the detail. That was only the first coat of rubber protector, it isn't like normal tyre dressing A second coat was applied which evens things out.

My fault that. Kept rushing outside and snapping picture's like an over excited Japanese photography student on special assignment. I finished up with 150+ shots of before, during and after. In the end it was like collecting a new car again, the finish was that good. I can't recommend D.P.N. enough. Here's a few more.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
