Well today was a good day.

I met a strange young fellow at Guildford Halfrauds at 9am sharp, spent £45 on bits and bobs and spent the next 6 hours covered in soapy water!

James and I had a clean fest, treating Jack and Bolan to a very thourugh clean. Jack had never had clay treatment before and you can really noticed the difference! I certain think James is a happy camper with the amount of dirt and tar we removed. We were a little bit useless and didn't get before pictures, but did get some after ones of the two looking SHINEY! James will put them up next week sometime when the site is playing nicely!

Great day, thank you James! Hope Josefine liked him!!

Sounds like you had fun guys

Good job it wasn't to hot, can't wait for the photo's

Look foward 2 seeing your pics. Was that 6hours for both.

Lokfoward to a full detail write up

Maybe 6hrs for James while Moley watched

or

the other way round

Ha ha I wish! 3 hours per car, we did his first to practice ha ha! Perfect weather for it....could have done with a little less wind! James cleaning plan went well so thats for all the advice you gave him!

Was a great day! Josefine was and I quote 'very impressed' with Jack!

Will get the pics up asap. Thank you everyone for all your help and for putting up with my constant questions!

So now you're an experienced car valeter, what time is my appointment for

That'll be 6 hours labour plus materials please Dave!

Hey I'm glad you two have had ago at cleaning your cars! How is the outcome in regards to your bodywork concerns James?

The bit on the bonnet has totally gone, this all buffed off with polish and wax. Everything else is improved I think, still there though, but I kind of expected that. The paint is smooth like glass now though, all the tar has gone, so I'm happy!

That's good at least 99% of the car your happy with, and you have acquired new skills into the bargain! sounds like the other 1% may need some proper remedial work from a valeter at some stage!
But hey you sound happy and that's the main thing!
I wonder if you would be so kind as to give us a blow by blow account of what you did with regards to the cleaning detail when you post up your pics. Looking forward to seeing them!

Rob.

It's certainly an improvement, and my first attempt at anything like this, so I'm very happy!

I will give a detailed write up of everything we used when I post pics!

Although we used different polish, Moleys was better I think, the AG SRP as against the megs step 2. Anyway, I won't give too much away right now!
