Just a Canon 7D. You can pick them up for around £300 plus the price of a lens The Car Park I use makes cars that are fairly neutral in colour look like the pics you saw on Flickr. I tweaked them a little, but there is something about the light in that place

 

Thanks Amanda, will look into that camera.  Matt ended up cancelling today - unforeseen emergency. These things happen but hope to be back with him soon.

I found him to be a little erratic like that He had an emergency when I first arranged to see him. Probably juggling a lot of balls, he certainly seems a busy chap 

 

David, the 7D is secondhand now, unless you can find one still in stock somewhere. If you want brand new, Canon have some great new camera and lens combos for around £300 (1300D + 18-55mm lens).

Thanks Amanda, will look at the Canon range, decent enough price!

Interesting you found that about Matt, he said he could arrange for 1pm today....thought it a tad strange. Anyway, benefit of the doubt, so will be rearranging ASAP.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. 

Sam from Autocleanse North east was here today to carry out a full interior and exterior detail, I am really happy with the outcome.

The car was not in to bad a shape prior to Sam starting as it had been fully cleaned by the dealer prior to delivery.

However there were a few light scratches and swirling on the paint work that I wanted taking care of and then the paintwork and wheels sealing for the winter.

Work carried out by Sam is as follows,

 

exterior

Full safe wash ( heated pre wash including snow foam)

Paint work fully clayed

Machine polish to remove the light scratches etc
Extream elements sealent applied to paintwork and wheels.
Carnuba wax applied to paintwork

 

 interior

 

Fully brushed and vacumed

Fabric and leather cleansed and conditioned.
headlining conditioned ( it had a couple of marks that have now gone)
all plastics cleaned and treated with autoglym plastic sheen.
deodorize 

 

I tried to take some before and after picks however My digital camera decided it was not playing ball so had to resort to my phone camera so pics do not do the completed job justice.

I also forgot to take before interior and the after shots are not very good as my phone does not like the dark interior and low light due to the tints so all you can see is the white/grey VRS panels on the seats so I have not included them.

 

I can say that the interior now looks and smells like new.

 

The first 2 photos are before and it was wet so not great, and the last 3 are after, you can see a big difference between the 2nd before shot and the 1st and 2nd after shot.

 

I will try to remember to take a beading shot in the morning.

Glad you're please with the results! A new car feeling that's protected for winter. Looking good.
