Very impressed with the finish, infact everyone at work commented on it!
Got some after pics of it on the way home, ill add them later, cars never been so clean! Looking forward to seeing what you can do with our rs when its done!
Thanks for traveling up to do the car today, anyone thinking of using refined detail, don't hesitate!
Only problem with it is now I'm driving the car everywhere like an old man to avoid brake dust etc!!!

The Autoglym stuff and a soft brush always works well for me.

It has standard rear boxes on it but center silencers have been removed with a supersprint x-pipe.
No vids as yet...

cheers for the comments! with the car recently having some paint work done i thought it looked great, with rich and stu working on it its has transfromed it!
chrex, its those little touches i like about the car, to the untrained eye, its just a 5 series, only the exhausts really give it away, compared to an rs4 or something the noise is alot more "refined" etc!

i dont think you can compare one car price with another, also you need to counter the traveling expences etc!
im sure if you contact rich he will give you a quote, but i found his list price for the work to be very competative (spelling) compared to local companies whos work i hadnt seen before hand.
