Read that one earlier, flipping unreal isn't it!

SOoooooo much hard work and effort. I'd be nervous to drive it anywhere! I'd put like 100 layers of wax over the top of it!

Yeah I need to get some wax on it tbh!

What do you think?  Desire or Crystal Rock?  I want to put C1 on it, but it's a bit too nippy...

Oh sh!t, its your ride is it Russ? My days mate, hats off to ya. Really great work.

TBH never heard anything on those 2 waxes...I think I am nearer the bottom of the detailing ladder, ie DJ/megs  :lipsrsealed:

However after a quick google will you be using this : http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/swissvax-crystal-rock.html, if so for 800 smackers I hope it would be like f**king rock once applied!

I will be offering it as a service, but not until I have a few more cars successfully under my belt!

I think Kelly charges £1500+, but I'll be a fair bit cheaper.  It takes a good 5 days to do properly I'd say, depending on the size of car, severity and hardness of the clearcoat!

The training costs £500 per day!!

Amazing results mate! Looks great!  :cool:

Was also surprised how much the compound removed compared to the sanding!  :shocked:

The training looks well worth it for that price, especially if you can make the money back by only doing a couple of cars!
Wouldn't be fun if it was easy, but does it have to be this much fun?
