Detailing

Postby optical illusion » Tue Jul 14, 2009 10:57 pm

Getting the car professionally detailed Friday week, driving to Meath to get it done by Brian (someone mentioned him here recently - on BMW forum)

His website looks amazing and he's a dead sound guy. Booked out till Sept but fit me in on a cancellation. Looking forward to seeing the results and will show you the before and after pics :)

Detailer.ie didn't even bother replying to my email before anyone asks why I'm driving so far!

Also, detailer.ie/andy rarely answers his phone, or emails...so no hard feelings about no reply from him!

As you know i'm only based down in dungarvan....and i'm pretty sure you knew i'm doing it with years!

Anyway....post up pics of how brian got on with your car...i'm sure he'll have a write up on detailing world.

I hope so, I fall out of love with it sometimes after I've spent so much time cleaning and it looks the same...

It's a beeyatch living in the country and hearing the sound of bushes along the side of your car when some spa thinks it's ok to be on your side of the road... :x

Anyhoo, hopefully she'll be looking sweet for the Phoenix Park races.

I hope you know your wash method pretty well to keep the car swirl free after it's been detailed!

So, car is all done and looks absolutely amazing. Brian is an absolute legend and a gent. Very dedicated and simply could not recommend him more.

My car was very bad, but then again it was very bad when I bought it. He even did my interior!

Here are a couple of pics but the rest (and the nightmarish details!) can be seen here: http://www.carcare.ie/forum/showthread.php?t=179

Excellent!! Looks savage! Great job!
If mine looked that good after detailing it would be a long time before I'd stop talking about it! He made a great job of it.

That's a seriously great job. Fair play... you must be really proud.
