Apologies for the lack of threads from me recently. To say I'm flat out would be an understatement!

Rather than full write ups for all of the below, I thought I'd combine them into one post for you all

First up, this stunning Maserati 222 4V that I detailed for a regular client of mine last year. It's just come out of winter hibernation and started to be used during the good weather so was in need of a maintenance detail. I took the opportunity to grab a couple of shots:







Next up was this rather oxidised VW Polo, only the bonnet has been corrected for now to see whether the pigment has died or not (ie. whether the paint fades again quickly and loses it's colour)





Next up was this RS4 Avant - love working on these :argie:





followed by an emergency call from a previous client to rectify this Boxster S (if you've just had dinner, or are just about to eat you may want to look away for this bit!) Proof it's not all glitz and glamour here at RD







A few hours later of hard graft we had the following:







and the exterior received some TLC too:



v

And finally this stunning Insignia VXR which was actually a 'gift voucher detail' - this received a custom Zaino gloss enhancement detail (full decontamination, gloss enhancement with Megs 205, Zaino AIO, CG EZ Creme Glaze, Z6, Z8)













Thanks for looking,

Rich

Fantastic work.

Those Insignia VXR's look superb,havn't really seen much if any kicking about.

Did you hoover those lines into the Porsche mats??Nice touch.

There will be a few more like this over the summer from me I expect as I don't have time for too many photos or to do the write ups tbh!

Just about to post a slightly 'fuller' one of today's Mini though

No the Insignia VXR's are quite a rare sight down here too, but are awesome - make normal ones look so tame! Huge things though compared to a Vectra

Yeh stripes are hoovered / shampooed into the mats

Yeh sick - their 9 y/o son was responsible for that one. There was cranberries and potato present - I know so as I was fishing it out with cocktail sticks from between the screen and dash!

Cheers guys

Mark - I use 2 - Espuma RD50 which I then tend to buff the excess off of - that was used on the Boxster above. And the other one I use is FinishKare Top Kote which was used on the others above

Which one?! and define long lasting! Not being awkward, but it depends on various things - weather, how clean the tyre was prior to applying it, and even the tyre I find in some cases!
