Where you from matey, I have 2 friends who have there own business and are very very good.

Take a look at my car done at the unit on the link below, and make your mind up.

http://w32.photobucket.com/widgets/d...heoben/Subaru/

The car's paint work and interior has been Silver-Sealed. Its expensive, but worth every penny, for example if I spilt some fluid on the seats, it just glides off like rain on a new car. And exactly the same on the paint work also.

The interior smells fresh and clean for weeks on end.

They use a porter cable to "extract" all imperfections on the car (in addition to numerous cleaning products). My friends black Audi was done recently and it was a swirl fest.....in addition to zip/ bag marks etc all over the car. Came back and it looked like it had had a full respray. Six months on it still looks as new.

Did cost him £120.00 but did take the guy a full 8 hours to sort.

Think Dave and Ali had theirs done recently and the results were amazing but the guy has decided to concentrate on his main job at the moment so won't be doing any of these for a while. Shame as he was right on my doorstep

Guys,

I went down to see shep yesterday and he was out on business.

To get rid of swirl marks, don't pay someone 120 quid, ALL you have to do is go to any car paint retailers and buy a bottle of 3M Scotchguard - Hand Glaze. ( per if your paintwork doesnt require a buff etc )

This is also fantastic if you machine buff your car and it leaves swirl marks all over the paint work ( more distinguishable on black cars than any other ) as its a finishing polish.

Will post the details about the valet as soon as ive spoken to shep.

Cheers,

Paul
