Default Triumph TR5 detailed by Distinctive Detailing sheffield

Another little gem from the classic car collector i do work for,this is one of his fav's and he uses it on a regular basis.This car was restored over 25 years ago

on arrival

























once all bits had been scrubbed and washed it was inside to clay









bumpers removed to get nooks n crannies





all engine bay polished by hand











next job to remove and polish wheels by hand







next job was to clean and treat interior









all chrome polished





and some finished shots

















outside for collection







thanks for looking

Another amazing episode! How long did that take Craig?

I like the older cars on these threads as they literally come up showroom

this one was done over 3 days because i had to strip bits off the car to get to the main body, all interior was done and under bonnet polished by hand and the worst job was cleaning the wheels

Given how clean some of these classics are when they come in I am still amazed at how much of a difference you can make when you get your hands on them
