Car Detailing

Postby simontaylor » Fri May 13, 2016 8:27 am

I'm not into Karate Kid Polishing, but the GTA could certainly do with a bit of a pep up for the paint.
ANy one got any experience of car detailing companies.
eg http://www.sportscarprotection.com/ only because they are close to me.

I thought I had blundered onto the wrong forum..detailing indeed.

It must be a good sign that the cars are going well if we're onto details !!

Would be amazing to finally see a few more shiny GTAs and Williams is certainly the man to point you in the right direction :-)

I guess Williams is thinking of Dawn who seems to be the leading light in Clio V6 detailing.
I've seen some before and after pictures and after 'in the flesh' and she's really good.

With all this talk of cleaning & detailing, can anyone suggest a good product for cleaning / restoring GTA rear light lenses. Mine are ok but are lightly scratched
