Thats got more reflection than my mirror, nice work.......

 

A quick Q can glass be t-cut or something?

 

My estate has dog claw marks in the boot side glass from the previouse owners and as you know the glass is not fitted to be removed lol.

Glass can be polished.

Just for the record here is photo evidence my car before and after my 3 day clean instead of paying for detailing.

 

Judge for yourselves ;-)

 

 

I think the pictures speak for themselves

I can post pictures of my mondeo (which has never had anymore than a wash, no clay, polish or LSP) after a quick wash and claim the same, because pictures like that dont show what detailing is really about. Alot of detailing you cant catch in photo's, the feel of the surface, the true reflection, you can see in the pics that Tez has posted the difference in the quality of reflection and the removal of the swirls and holograms.

OK all joking aside now, just so there is no mistaking my thoughts.

 

Car detailing is a specialist thing and worth every peny if you are shoing your car and no amount of me with a bit of T cut could ever match it.

 

I spend a lot of time cleaning and polishing my cars but the net worth of my Escort is probably about £1000 on a good day with people bidding against each other.

 

When my car gleams it looks great, it would not be worth me getting my car detailed as it would cost neer half the value of the car.

 

I dont supose detailers use demod shine do they? what about auto glym.......

Yeh i know what you mean mate. Very wary about who would touch it, hence i wouldn't even do it myself for fear of Fcuking it up....
