Awesome work, possibly better than brand new from most places!

Best colour too

Thankful the paintwork was in fairly good condition so the previous owner had some sort of idea how to look after it.

 

I will add these onto the next order I place.. 

 

Unfortunately I had just placed an order with CYC which was delivered today

 

Will be giving my Fabia a similar treatment at the weekend, providing it stays dry, before putting it up for sale.

 I got a bit carried away the last time there was a 3 for 2 on Auto Finesse...

I wish I did

[JackClap]

I didn't have too many products at the time as I was at the stage of going from just car cleaning to car detailing so to say.

 

So a 3 for 2 offer seemed like a good way of getting most types of products I would need. Which is how I ended up with such a collection of Auto Finesse. Since then I have started branching out to a few other brands and products and oppose to just Auto Finesse.

Had planned to clean my Fabia today, But dad picked up a new car yesterday so I done that for him instead.

Just spotted this thread.... WOW!  :clap:

 

I think that has to be the nicest Octavia VRS FL i've ever seen - just looks immaculate mate.

Great car, amazing products, and a stunning detail..... love it. 

 

Nice work too on the BMW

Jack, any chance I can pop round to yours and see what magic can be worked on my old fella?

 I'm rather tied up over the next few weeks but should be able to sort something out after that, I'll try pop along to the next hut meet and see what I think. 

[JackClap]

Another delivery...  :think:

Cheers, Jack. I just want to try and spruce it up a bit. Looks like you have the same addiction as Sparkly

[Wardy]

Plenty of addicts around!

Great looking results there, good work

[JackClap]

I treat it a bit like a hobby, I think that's just about the only way I can justify it 

 

Am I still welcome along to the hut meet in a non Skoda?

Absolutely, Jack. No problem

[JackClap]

Well finally got round to doing my Fabia ready for putting it up for sale.

 

More or less used the same products as on the BMW above.

Only real change was that I used CG's Pete's 53 rather than the CG's 50/50.

 

 

Black paint be a pain in the ass as marring/scratches show up so easily and it can look dreadful, but it feels incredibly rewarding once finished

 

Picking up the replacement for the Fabia on Saturday so that will be getting the full treatment too in due course. 

 

 

Also used Chemicaly Guys V7 for the first time on the Octavia, very impressed with it and is now one of my favourite products, adds a much deeper shine to the paintwork than previous QD's that I've used, will be interesting to see what sort of added protection it offers. No pictures of this though unfortunately.
