ChrisRs's Detailing Service in aid of World Challenge

[ChrisRs]

World Challenge Expedition to Malaysia July 2013

Hi Guys

I'm offering my services, with some help from bluevrs2 (When available) to clean/protect/detail your car.

ALL funds will go to World Challenge Malaysia 2013

What is Word Challenge?

World Challenge - educational expeditions and adventure travel for schools

I need to help raise some money for my School Expedition to Malaysia next July 2013...which will involve a conservation project in a local village, some work in a Blind School and a Physically Handicapped School in The Cameron Highlands Rainforest.

Prices would depend on the condition and work required on the car and ALL money will go to the Students to help fund the trip

A rough guide (Car specific) would be:

£10 for a good wash with Snow Foam and TBM (1 hour)

£20 to £30 for a good wash and a wax or sealer top up (A few to choose from) (2 Hours)

£100 upwards for a protection detail (This includes removal of old waxes and Sealers) (2-3 hours)

£150 upwards for paint work correction (Using Dual Action and Rotary Polishers) (5 hours+)

(Full details on request)

NOTE: A Paint Thickness Gauge is used to measure areas of your car prior to polishing/correction

Note: All work undertaken at owners own risk

I would be willing to travel a few miles if absolutely necessary but would prefer to use my own equipment at home or at Alan's (bluevrs2)

I live in Bingley, Alan in Baildon, West Yorkshire. Please contact me or Alan to discuss your requirements after expressing interest in this thread

Looking forward to hearing from you

Please book in by the end of April at the latest..Thanks

I'd be right up for this and the works - if you weren't the best part of 280 miles away! :(

Best o'luck with the challenge.

Please add a close by date on this to avoid any confusion.

Good luck with it.

[ChrisRs]

Done..Thanks Colin

[ChrisRs]

Please note:

All monies made from this 'Detailing Service' and subsequent work will ALL go to the students at my school

Each has to raise £1850 for this 'opportinity of a lifetime'.

Any previous post from me asking you to 'drop me a line' or a 'PM'..or just to 'ask' if you need some work doing, is purely in aid of this venture.

In no way at all has this been for any commercial or personal gain

This is what I did, with help from a friend, due to time factors
