Thought I'd share this one on here as I'm sure a few of you will be interested!

Gave Tom's Porsche the once over at the weekend at my unit - a bespoke gloss enhancement and protection detail almost exclusively with Auto Finesse Products.

Snowfoam - AF Avalanche
Wash - AF Lather
De-tar - AS Tardis
Clay - Stjarnagloss Mild
Gloss Enhancement - 3M Ultrafina via rotary
Cleanse - AF Tripple
Wax - 2 coats of AF Spirit
Wipedown - AF Finale
Wheels - AF Citrus Power sealed with AF Mint Rims
Tyres - AF Satin Tyre Gel
Glass - G-Techniq / AS Glass Clear
Interior - Megs APC
Exhaust - AF Mercury

A couple of still photos (inc. a few by a mate who was down for the day helping out both with the detail and photography)















and of course, a video:

Tom - no doubt you'll read this....

I want some bosy work done on my 911 ('81)

Could you provide some ballpark quotes (hard to do I know, but estimates!) for the following

2x new steel front wings - respray whole car (external) in gaurds red again.

As above but costing change for GRP front wings.

As above but doing a full colour change to White (grand prix white is it? Same white as the 70's RS)?

Don't usually like the 911, but that's quite nice.

Lovely work! If I'd known you were up the road in Billingshurst when I was living in Pulborough I'd have booked my car in for the Rich H experience!

Cheers all!

Paintwork is spot on obviously

Car is lovely to drive - drove so much better than a 996 I collected from a customer recently too!

Rob - I did mention in a random thread (possibly your first one on the forum?) that I live in Petworth and work in Billingshurst when I saw you were in Pulborough

Ed - pretty far in advance these days tbh, but will always try to accommodate you - at present I'm as good as fully booked for the year ( 2 days now left before Christmas )

That's cool - it's going to be for my new car which I wont get until next year. Will speak properly about it when I know I'm closer to buying
