Yep. Detailing require 3 buckets, 5 miniture brushes that serve no purpose and a few depth gauges.

if thats based on the pics then fair enough, in the metal its a different story. i could do the water test on the bonnet for you? I was going to nip into the mall car park as the lighting in there is ace and would have shown the reflections, phone pics suck doesnt help the pics were taken in very low light conditions.

I need to clean mine for Trax. Really can't be arsed with it at the moment

Exhaust needs looking at too as it's banging about and the engine makes a knocking noise at 4 grand. It's sounds right fucked at 80 mph

Vaux are looking at it again tomorrow morning I'll jack it up first thing to look at what's wrong with the exhaust.

whats with "detail" bashing all of a sudden?

to be fair is it because we all drive cars that just plain are not worth detailing? if someone wants to take the time to give there car a good scrub and protect / help pro long the life of the paint on the car why bash them for it?

am sure they would be saying the same about you in our poxy cars fitting big bore / peco exhausts to a £500 corsa

grow up children and find something better to do than rip into people .. maybe go detail your shitbox?

P.s lovely car, always been a fan of that shape Leon!

I am getting fucked of with the detail bashing, if you say its the same as washing that shows how ignorant you really are. I would hang myself for making such a statement, yes it really is that laughable.

actually grogan, if you are ever in the area please allow me to do one panel of your car after you have washed it, I will also have a go at one of your wheels/tyres after you have carried out your bucket wash with fairy liquid.

The results will speak for themselves.
