Will370z Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Do you fit in a Micra Will Unfortunately i can confirm i do fit..... When he asked are you happy with a manual i said, "that cant be right i thought GTRs only came as an auto".....the hint didnt work Quote
glrnet Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Big thanks to Ian , worked his kahunas off today detailing my Zed in 30 degree sunshine Although it was hot I'm lead to believe it wasn't anywhere as hot as Richmond Col , drank us out of lemon squash too The car looks absolutely stunning, here's a pic, I don't want to steal Ian's thunder as I know he will do a before and after session post at the end of the week Thanks again matey, I really appeciate what you have achieved today Quote
SteveRS Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Here's a couple of finished pics from when Ian came down to detail my zed for the day. Thanks for the excellent work mate. And a couple of visitors during the day, Col and Will Quote
Will370z Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Love the first pic there steve, shes gleaming inthe sunlight Quote
ChrisS Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 That bloody Rosie gets on all the threads. Not even down for the Wasso treatment and there she is ' swanning ' it. Quote
coldel Posted July 25, 2012 Author Posted July 25, 2012 Will, you actually drove the 50 yards to Steves garage! Quote

Dynamic Turtle Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 I don't think I've ever commented on one of these detailing threads before (think it's a bit... OTT), but I have to say, those zeds look brand spanking new. Problem is, when I take it to the friendly albanian chaps down the road for a wash a couple of weeks later, what do I tell them? "use fresh wabbit wool mitts please"? Quote
4RE Leather Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 I think its great and not over the top at all. Obviously there is a demand for it and I can't see any of these guys even considering going to the local car wash to destroy what Ian has done. Depends on your attitude toward the car. I spent 5 days doing what ian has done in a few hours. I only wish i could do it as quick:) Quote
DoogyRev Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 That's a whole lot of shiny ness going on there Good Job Ian Quote

(first ever wash,clay,polish,seal and wax).. (no photos) Quote
4RE Leather Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Was that supercharged clay polish Chris? Took me 5 hours with the clay bar and I believe I could have spent a lot longer. Quote

What can i say she just loves the camera lol. On a serious note though ian worked blummin hard on those cars and did a great job. Steves car looks great in the pics above but it was stunning in the flesh. Im going to have to get someof that wax ian uses really brought out the colour of the car and felt like glass Quote

I have precisely zero access to a hose / pressure washer / garage etc. Not sure I can be arsed with the whole "two bucket method either".... Quote
Keyser Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 .................. drank us out of lemon squash too It wasn't enough he's lost 3 stone we are rehydrating him now!!! Car looks great mate Quote

pbomb Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Looks awesome Steve. Red also comes up really well Quote

I have precisely zero access to a hose / pressure washer / garage etc. Sorry I never even thought of that. Chris I live in a 2nd floor apartment as well. I drop the extension out the window and went and got me a http://www.mobiwasher.co.uk/ There is a solution to every problem if you want to lol. But in fairness I enjoy doing as much as I can myself and have time to do it and have a run around. However if I used it for work and had other things to occupy my life I might feel different. I just hate the car washes that don't give a hoot, I saw a Bentley Continental 2 year old last week that went into a hand wash in good condition and came out needing most of the panels doing as there was swirls everywhere.

Have never used a pressure washer with mine I have always hand washed (and hand polished), just a bit of hard work and willingness to look after my car When I get the chance, Im out there with my buckets, wool mitt etc - and why not, it looks nice when its done Quote
