you so know that his old car will never be washed again lol
admire his dedication and his work but its still a Vauxhall :lipsrsealed:
-
3 months detailing!!!
i only manage 3 hours on a good day lol
-
Got one of these coming up in 4 weeks...
Was wondering what products to go for :)
-
an epic detail... absolutely epic
but the man has the time and obviously money and resource to be able to do this
i think some bits were taking it a step toooo far... but most of it was cool... my dynamatting is better than his as I made it all match up the right way! :grin:
mind you - that is about the only thing that I have got better than his on that detail :embarassed: ... oh... and I drive a VW! :afro:
-
i cant believe he was going to refuse that the car coz of that tiny blemish, and 51 coats!!!! get real!! :huh:

http://www.swissvax.co.uk/products/wax-products.asp (http://www.swissvax.co.uk/products/wax-products.asp) got for the crystal rock wax... it's only £500!! :shocked:
the one that the dude in the link used was £10k!!
-
He needs to get a life :wink:
:grin: Just kidding. Some awesome work done on that car. I just think its a bit silly. Its under the car? Am I the only one not seeing this? :evil:
-
D*mn you Blue, you made me late for work this morning!! :D I started reading the thread, then just got carried away with it and realised what the time was!
Just finished reading it and I'm amazed!! Incredible work. The attention to detail is unreal!
Better go get the buckets out..
-
He needs to get a life :wink:
no kidding.
-
the attention to detail is a bit OTT really though isnt it... at what point do you stop having a good looking and clean motor and start having something which you cant take out and thrash cause you're worried about a spec of dirt getting on the wheel arch?
he was also spraying that hose thing against his paintwork VERY hard... he might have ingrained a half mm fly poo into the clearcoat? :undecided:
does anyone else cringe when they drive through a puddle... or is it just me? :huh:
-
Nice looking motor, but it doesn;'t look THAT much better than a good proper clean and polish.
I'm sorry but he really needs to get a life!

you know I was thinking back to this thread earlier this afternoon and thinking exactly the same thing
-
Must admit it was clean but the white did'nt show all the work that he had put in in my opinion. Thought the colour of his old car was better.
-
Can't knock the guys determination and drive :shocked: Regardless of what anyone thinks that is an amazing thing he has done, so focused! Yeh many people will say ''get a life'' but if that is his life then who are we to judge? Fair play mate!
Just showed (some) of this to Mrs Green just to prove im no where near OCD (as she tells me frequently!!) when it comes to cleaning my car compared to some. :grin:
Top marks!! :cool:

Yep weathers looking good here too, will try to get out to try the G220 on some swirl marks on her Polo today.
Also don't forget some pic's this time NewGolf or you know what TopCat will be like with his "you must really own a poxhall" stories again :wink:
-
Taking photos along the way this time guys! Just done the whole car with Z2 Zaino, smells gorgeous!
-
if your gonna do that to a car at least do it to a colour thats gonna show the hard work gone into it! theres not really much of a difference unless you get the bi-nocu-lars out.
imagine what the vauxhall dealer would say if he tried to give the car back for that blemish :laugh:
OCD

???, in what way ?

I've seen two cars at our place, a brand new M3 CSL and on another occasion a ZM3 had AP Racing brake mods, suspension mods and the "visual appearance" was changed from standard, which voided the warranty.
I doubt they could tell whether the ECU map has changed but if his car ever needed a ECU under warranty he would lose it.
To take care of a brand new car which such passion then to lose the warranty is crazy! Then again, he did add he is very particular as to who works on his car so maybe he doesn't go to main dealer for repairs.

Thats one of the most indepth write ups i have seen the time & money spent on the car astonished me.Big respect to the man.
