Default Look what B0DSKI did to my car !

Well, you can't at the moment, sorry.

Due to technical difficulties I can't get the photos off the phone, and unfortunately I can't at the moment find the pics he kindly put on a CD for me.

Anyway, BIG apology to him for taking so long to post regarding his work and his approach to it.

He detailed mine back in Mid-March and I had hoped to show some pics so you could see that more than 2 months later it's still gleaming. Cleaning it has never been so easy.

Arrangements to deliver the car, the work done and the car picked back up were so well made and adhered to that believe it or not I never ever met him, despite him living in Essex and me in South Wales !

The work was excellent. (Bear in mind also that the paintwork's very thin).

Highly recommended and as soon as I sort out pics I'll get them up as a testimony.

NO.

It's Robocop's former car.

(You're only as old as you look ).

Serious point, B0DSKI was recommended on here, most will know how KK looked after it, I can't aspire to that level but Boyd's helped A LOT.

He'll do the final detailing before the car's put up for sale.

Be interesting to get the paint gauge on it Stu. Bet it's very similar to Dave's. Limits the amount of correction but great things can still be done

Ah, nothing like advance orders
Probably well into next year though (before the 10-yr cambelt change, the tyres wear out completely, the 40k service BUT after the bl**dy stonechips have been sorted ).

Anyway, we've acquired a camera that does upload to the PC, but today it's raining.
As soon as, I promise you.

Cheers again !

It's in the garage

Actually, it had been raining when I collected it from Boyd's.
This is no word of a lie, it looked like it was absolutely covered in pimples, so small was the beading !

Going to the unveiling of the 2015 car at our local main dealer's this evening (provided the new battery's turned up) so I won't have any excuse.
