Big thanks to Chris, really enjoyed working on a nice red car. It was nice to see Tom too!

Thanks for reading!

P.S. Now to do the write up for a black LCR and my new Audi S4 B8 I detailed couple of weeks back. Little preview of the S4.

Great work as ever mate.

The car looked superb when I popped up with Chris in the evening. Real transformation.

In my defence I had driven to the peak district and back before you started the detail ;)

Fantastic results, was like picking up a brand new car upon collection

Superb work Maz... as always :thumbup:

Was gutted for you when i saw the BMW had been stolen but loving the look of the S4 ;)

You still doing the detailing full time? - Things changed for me at work (moved teams) and things are busy at the moment so the focus on getting the detailing up and running has been reduced a bit at the moment, still keeping my hand in though, you know how it is :D

Cheers, Nige

Cheers Nige. I am an IT Consultant but detailing is a very active hobby for me as I love working with cars. I am really please for Shaun getting his own unit, good on him for taking the plunge!
