okay i will admit i havent had much experience doing cars have only done my car and my gf car with the machine and a detail on my rents bmw before i got the machine.
i will look at the weather forcast for this weekend as its best to be safe and not end up with rain and that the rest of the time unless you have a garage or gazebo?

Wasnt this detailed like 2/3 months ago??? If so your washing techniques must be really bad.....sort it out before the clear cote runs out.
As said above Wayne or Pred are the guys you need to speak to but £100 may be pushing it.

Got a paint depth thickness guage to check your paints ok also  Heres results from doing my mums Wicked Saxo VTR http://www.saxperience.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=232139 i've got much more experience than adam, no offence to adam like and know how to get a sharper finish than adam can get as i've been doing this for 2 to 3 years now so probably be best if you get me to do it  i have virtually every product you can name of.

lol wayne you cunt!! i dont mind tbh depends if he want to pay the price you want really because im allowing for the experience issues in the price tbh the 70 pound could also be negotiable. iv read many guides and had a fair bit of practice did an excelent job on my own car and id take my time and not leave untill the job is spot on even if it takes me 12 hours. anything to get a good name you know even if you loose money on it. as because if i was to do his car i dont mind working for penuts aslong as i get more interest afterwards
