Car Detailed.

I Had the car detailed the las couple of days by Robert from RKHawkins Valeting & Detailing in Maidenhead, he covers the whole of Berkshire and surrounding area.

He as done an amazing job, very thorough, meticulous and tidy, he took nearly two days, I highly recommend him.

The images don't do it justice.

All I wish was I was as good at taking photos as he is at detailing.

That’s a fantastic job! I’m having mine done at this very moment - the guy is very good (he’s got good recommendations and I had him do my E-Pace before I booked him to do the F-Type) but he’s had a hell of a job getting the swirls and holograms out of the (black) paint. He tells me he’s never come across paint as soft. I had a feeling that the dark paint might be a challenge as my Loire Blue XJ was a nightmare to detail....

But yours looks fantastic and shows what can be achieved!

Find a discreet area of the car and push with your nail gently...it's like a cream cake!

Cool!! Look forward to see some images of yours.
 
Just finished - it’s taken him two days to do. He finally got a combination of mop, speed and compound that worked without holograms and managed to get the ceramic coat on it. The pics don’t do it justice...

Thanks. I wasn’t sure about the fixed spoiler originally but the car was a good enough price for me to go check it out and, against all expectations, I love it 😁
 
I've got garage envy too! Whenever I clean the car this time of year, I can guarantee it'll rain that night!
 
Hi all.

Hope you are all well.

I took advantage of a milder weather today to wash the car, first time since detail in October.
Nice and easy to wash, I will take it for a quick blast now to shake off the cobwebs. :D :D :D

Looking forward to first meet as soon as they release us from house arrest...

Cheers.
