Ok guys, this is the deal! We've recently revised our prices and they've gone up somewhat!

 

Don't worry, until the end of September we're not upping the forum price to anywhere near that!

 

Full Machine Polish

Booked Before The End Of September

£160 (normally £250 for 1 day/full machine polish)

 

If we do get a cancellation in the future then we might post it up here as its better to work for a cheaper price than not at all!

 

Cheers!

Any pics of your work matey.

 

If i booked before end of september for a few months time does this still qualify for the cheaper rate?

 

Also what is included in that price, you talking full everything, exterior, interior, engine bay etc?

 

Is this at your house or at a works premises.

 

Sorry for the questions if they have been answered before.

We can go to you or you can come to us. Obviously it's a bit cheaper for you to come here.

 

Yes the price is for bookings taken before then, not done before then.

 

The price quoted is for a full machine polish, which is the exterior only, we do the engine bay as well but only a basic clean inc in the price (full chromed affairs etc would be a bit extra). We can give you a price on the interior depending on what your wanting.

 

http://www.executivedetailing.co.uk - is our site and this thread is some work we've done. http://www.the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewto ... &start=105

 

Just as a comparison, we've just done a Ford Ka (same job) and that was £250 as he wasn't on a forum.

 

PM me if you have any questions!

 

Cheers!

Ok, for the new year we've changed tack regarding detailing offers!

 

Rather than always go for the top whack full detail jobby, we've decided to offer the non-machine polish as the special.

 

So here it is, The Executive Two! - Normally £120 (Ka size-ish) to £250 (Rangie size-ish like the one below) depending on what the car is.

 

For a Corrado it will be a flat £100 (exc travelling to you)

 

Executive Two Detail

 

It's basically everything the machine polish (Exec One) is but without the machine polish. Washing, claying waxing etc is all part of it, and for the first time you also get an interior spruce!

 

This was an identical detail we did a while back so you know what you get. It does mask swirks a bit but doesn't get rid of them!

 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

This is certainly the biggest detail we've done to date, a Range Rover Vogue SE in black!

 

This is what we started off with, it certainly has being used as a workhorse and was covered in Tar, although you can't really see it in thepics as much.

we started the process by attacking the alloys with some Meguiars Super Degreaser but that didn't seem to shift as much as we'd hoped, so we stepped up to some Autoglym Clean Wheels which did the trick brilliantly.

 

06.jpg

 

The arches were sprayed with Meg's All Purpose Cleaner and scrubbed with brushes and harsher sponges to get all the muck out of them.

 

07.jpg

 

The rather grubby foot rail along the bottom was tackled next, using soapy water, APC and a soft sponge.

 

08.jpg

 

Before we washed the car we got the door and boot shuts gleaming by spraying them with Meg's Super Degreaser and wiping them down with microfibres.

One last thing to do before we broke out the Gilmour Gun was to soften up the dead flies and various other bugs that peppered the front off the car. This was done by spraying the front with AG Bug Remover.

 

12.jpg

 

A combination of Meg's Hyper Wash, Snowfoam and warm water was used for the shampoo via the Gilmour Gun. The whole car was sprayed and then wiped down with Edge Wash Schmitts. As you can imagine this took a while given the cars size!

 

12a.jpg

 

12b.jpg

 

Given the amount of tar on the lower parts of the car we had to clay it. For this we used Meguiars Mild (Blue) Clay. Here's the state of one of them after the rear quarter panel!

 

13.jpg

 

Another wash later using the same method above, we rinsed the car down with the Jetwash.

 

14.jpg

 

The drying process was done using Meguiars Last Touch and Sonus Der Wunder Drying Towels.

 

15.jpg

 

Now the cars clean and dry, we had a snack and carried on by giving it 2 coats (30mins apart of course!) of CG Jetseal. This was followed up with some Megs Glass Cleaner, #38 Trim Clean & Protect and of course some tyre shine!

 

16.jpg

 

The heat caused quite a bit of problems when waxing the car so we followed up the last coat with a spray of Quick Detailer to get rid of the 'sweaty' residue that appeared after buffing! We also used the soft brushes to get rid of any wax residue that always collects in the gaps.

Heres the final finished pics after a hard half-days work!

 

Thanks for reading!

Ok, so I'm not selling it but Andrew came to us to get his 04 Land Rover Discovery ready for sale. We've not posted up for a while so I thought we'd better get back on the posting bandwagon!

 

Here's what awaited us! The interior was pretty grubby in the back due to it being a family car and the kids probably using it as a fingerlicking playground!

I'll speed up the write up as it's Sunday evening and most people skip through the pics anyway! Blah blah blah blah! (Only kidding!)

 

We jet washed the huuuuge car down to remove as much dirt etc that we could, concentrating on the arches quite a bit! As you can see from these pics we could have grown a few potatoes in them!

 

09.jpg

 

10.jpg

 

11.jpg

 

Out came the Lavor Petrol Pressure Washer next as it has the foam lance on it (the electric one was used for everything else as we were at base and it's cheaper!). Here's the lovely snow foam that it creates!

 

12.jpg

 

13.jpg

 

14.jpg

 

We wiped down the car using Schmitts and rinsed it off before doing the alloys and starting the claying.

 

Here's a pic of a wheel using our own secret wheel cleaning mixture! :)

 

15.jpg

 

Here's what came off just one wheel!

 

16.jpg

 

Now onto the claying! We lightly sprayed the car down with the Foam Gun to make lubing the car up easier. Last Touch was sprayed onto the car on the spots we were working on which seems best for this procedure.

 

17.jpg

 

18.jpg

 

One last rinse down with the jetwash and out came the Last Touch once again to help dry the car off. Sonus Der Wunder Drying Towels soaked up the water nicely.

 

19.jpg

 

At this point we started on the interior, now like a dope we forgot to take any 'action' shots of us working inside, so you'll have to use your imagination!

 

George (wet/Dry Vac) was used on the mats which were removed from the car, AG Leather Cleaner and Leather Care was used on all leather surfaces to clean and treat them.

 

Einszett Cockpit Premium and Megs APC was used on the rest of the car to get rid of the kids influence! Meguiars Glass Cleaner was used on the glass (using your imagination yet?)

 

Back to the outside, the Disco was to be waxed using CG Jetseal on this occasion, 2 coats of course!

 

20.jpg

 

21.jpg

 

The metal foot bars were also cleaned and buffed up using Meguiars NXT Metal Cleaner, as you can see from the cloth they were pretty bad!

 

22.jpg

 

23.jpg

 

The tyres were then given a 'treat' (get it!) with AG Tyre Shine.

 

24.jpg

 

Sorry for the lack of interior piccies and the usual long winded write up but here are the final shots of the car, now ready for sale!
