As usual, all pictures and text are lifted from detailing world.
Also its not me doing the work. Its my brother, so I can't answer any detailing questions.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was tidying up my computer today and realised I had quite a few cars I'd never posted so I've decided to just put them all in together as there's more pics of some than others 
First up though is this Supercharged Range Rover Sport (proper fuel guzzler  ) that was done last week after making the journey up from St Andrews. It received a 2 day Enhancement and was protected with Auto Finesse Tough Coat:
Made a nice change from Black!
Speaking of Black Range Rovers, here's one! This particular one was LHD and had been brought over from Spain to be detailed. This also received an Enhancement which made a massive difference as the paint was pretty dull and grey before.
Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Pro was used to give the following result:
The car was then protected with Swissvax Crystal Rock:
And here's another black one! This is a Range Rover Sport "Revere". A 5 day Correction Detail was carried out on this one including a solid 24 hour shift from Friday through to Saturday!
Grill removed so I could fit a new badge:
The car received a 3 stage machine polish to remove the defects:
 
 
 
The car had obviously been used as a wedding car at some point as it had the give away signs of the ribbons rubbing away on the bonnet and A-Pillars:
 
 
 
No expense spared on the interior:
Crystal Rock was the wax of choice once again:
I think we'll have a bit of Lotus time now, first up is this pretty rare Type 72 Exige. The car was covered in marring and buffer trails but the owner wasn't wanting perfection so an Enhancement Detail was chosen:
You can see from the strip down the middle the difference Menzerna 203S and a Polishing Pad made:
LSP for this one was Blackfire Midnight Sun:
The Lotus 2 Eleven is another one you won't see that often, this one was brand new and received a Protection Detail with 3 coats of Werkstat Acrylic:
I only got a couple of pics of this Lotus Evora but I thought it was still worth posting
Wheels needed a severe dosage of Wolf's Decon Gel due to heavy contamination:
The car only had some mild swirling with the odd scratch here and there so Swissvax Cleaner Fluid topped with Crystal Rock was in order here:
The Morgan Aero 8 - this was a new purchase for one of our contract customers and received a Protection Detail with Wolf's Body Wrap as LSP:
Another regular customer had been busy buying a new toy too and what a beauty! A 4.2 Straight Six Jaguar E-Type, no process pics as it was approx 6:30am when I started and it was still dark
The car was generally pretty clean but the paintwork was full of buffer trails which was preventing the true gloss from showing through. The wheels had started to tarnish ever so slightly from a light covering of road salt too:
The car had approx 3 and a half days spent on it with the majority of the time going on the paintwork (polished with Menzerna 3.02) and engine bay (polished mainly by machine and Swissvax Metal Polish). All Chrome work including the wheels were polished and protected with Werkstat Prime Strong and LSP was Auto Finesse Tough Coat topped with Spirit Wax:
Finally last but not least, A Ferrari 575. The owner wanted it spruced up for sale as a new 458 was on the way so a couple of days were spent carrying out an Enhancement Detail.
(Apologies if any of the pics seem a bit washed out, this was me trying to get to grips with the new camera and failing miserably )
Mainly wash marring and the odd scratch here and there, nothing too serious:
The paint was quite soft so Menzerna 106FA was used to achieve 95%+ correction:
 
 
 
 
 
Rear lights removed to make polishing easier:
After polishing, the car received 2 coats of Swissvax Crystal Rock:
In the end the 575 looked so good it was kept
Thanks for looking.

Is that the proper badge for the V8 on the Range? Looks like the ones Halfords sell.

contamination i.e brake dust that doesn't come off with normal wash products maybe? i just washed my white wheels after 2 months and some parts had turned yellow and wouldn't shit with normal stuff so had to use wonder wheels to shift it.

Looks a bit like a Lotus Esprit badge, and looks daft imo.

Saying contamination is just one way of covering many bases with one word. It simplifies things for those who understand.
Get over it.

They've probably been taken out to save weight  
Seriously though I have no idea. I'll see if I can find out...

Just spoken to my brother and he says, "They're quite high up. The dash just makes it look like there aren't any."

All stunning as usual.
Judging from pics, and having seen lots of pics from different detailers your bro & co are by far the best i've seen.

I am biased, but i'd have to agree.
Not only do they take pride in their work, but also the level of service they provide face to face and online.
That's why they've recently started filming demonstration videos too.
(These are the first they've produced, but there will be many more to come)
PB Wheel Woolies Demo Video
Meguiar's Hyper Wash Demo Video
Metro Vac Air Force Blaster Demo Video
Auto Finesse Citrus Power Demo Video
303 Aerospace Protectant Demo Video
