In summary I am really pleased with how this detail has turned out. I spent a lot of time exploring everything I could clean and get back to new as much as possible. Yes I could have refined the paintwork further doing a full 3 stage polish but to be honest the detail wasn’t about correcting the paintwork. The detail was about testing new products, getting the car back to a standard that I am happy with and having a little play in my new detailing cave.

I am really impressed with the AutoFinesse products. You can tell that top class detailers developed these products because they work so well. Definitely will try more of their products so will give James B @ AutoFinesse an email soon. The AutoBrite products are great also, definitely will use these more.

I really hope everyone enjoyed the write up. I do appreciate everyone looking through the pictures!

What’s next? My good friend Kenny from AMD ESSEX is dropping off his 500BHP Cossie for a 3 day paint correction detail including interior.


Detailers Notes
- Need to respray front bumper. Shame on the person who painted it!
- Having the right equipment is paramount
- 3 Day detail is very taxing on your body. Know when to call it a day
- Know the car and where dirt collects.
- AutoFinesse products are really good!
