Nice one, Chris!

That monkey tree will be famous now - after all those pics with the cars!

It does look a lot better than when I picked it up! The shine is unreal on the paintwork .

I will definately be keeping on top of it now and will be back soon hopefully with another car for you to do Chris !

Thanks very much for today!

Sean

Thanks...but Alan was working Wayne

I'll add some pictures myself, when I recover! Knackered now!

I really can't express how happy I am with the result; the car looks superb now. Chris was happy to share his knowledge and got me involved to learn some of the basics, which I really appreciated too.

All in all, a hard but enjoyable day in Yorkshire! I hope the kids get a lot from that trip to Malaysia too.

Cheers Chris!

It was a pleasure

Back to school tomorrow for a rest!!

Some pics from yesterday's detailing. We couldn't have picked a better day, as today it has absolutely thrown it down! Some great beading shots to start with then!

'The' scratch that I have Chris to work on. He did a sterling job getting rid of as much of it as possible (see picture below!)

The master at work;

Masked off those nasty plastic trim bits (soon to be replaced, with any luck!);

The awesome wax is applied;

And here we are;

A before and after on the tail;

No trip to Bingley is the same without a monkey tree shot. Check out the killer reflection;
