Detailing...

[isleaiw]

Hi All

There was mention on here a while back about new car detailing and protection so I thought I would share the link to the chaps who did my new Audi so you can see what it involves...

The true test will be in the protection it gives over the next couple of years or so but for now I am enjoying how shiny it looks and feels!

Wow!, that’s one smart car you’ve got now. Well worth it.

Thanks - I really like it. Was looking at a T5 Inscription Pro but the SQ5 was only about 4k more and I get the benefit of a V6 petrol with 350ish bhp. I also much prefer the Audi MMI interface than the touch screen - might be the luddite in me or fact I have had an Audi with similar interface before...

Detailing certainly has brought out the colour and made a great car look even better!

And the price?

£630 including interior - all materials provided.

They worked on the car for in excess of 20 hours to get that result, so in my mind a good price to pay, when you consider how much these cars cost its a small additional cost to keep it looking good.

Almost exactly what I have just spent on my Polestar upgrade, something I can't do myself, so in my opinion better value for money.
Car does look nice though.

A neat camera trick on the four before and after photos - "before" with the focus on the paintwork/swirls above the spotlight reflection, whilst the "after" shots focus on the reflected background (windows/block paving).
Not saying this was intentional though.

I already have 350hp so didnt think I needed any more there...

and we are talking £45k to £55k cars here - value for money is a phrase that rarely applies..

edit to add - I wouldnt take a polishing machine to my car and I dont have the time or inclination to spend 25 hours doing what he did....

I am no photographer but watching him take the photos seemed to be

aim a torch to show the swirls, click

then post polishing pad work

aim a torch at same spot, click

I dont think there is any trickery and I am looking with my naked eye at the before and after...

Got to agree with you on the power, but I'm sure you also see my point. My car came in @ just over the 48k, I'm retired so have plenty of time on my hands for cleaning, although I'm not really into it that much.
