Mmmm detailed

Hurrah for machine polishers and produce

What like vegetables or fruit?

No real need to machine polish unless it is to remove defects in the paint, it's not a maintenance thing. Any more than once a year and I question what you are doing to your paintwork to warrant it!

Think you are reading into the word 'detailing' a little too far, in my eyes it's just the modern version of valeting but it's not concourse - at least not what I got done

Basic process was:

Solvent
Washed With Shampoo/Rinsed
Clayed
Machine Polished
Waxed

Pretty much a standard process for pain correction. There were no cotton buds out or magnfying glasses

Main reason for the closes ups is the colour is very chameleon. It is a deep burgundy but can look pitch black, bronze, reddy and purpley. It's very hard to get a true picture of the colour that is seen in sunlight.

that clio is fit

 

[mjt]

Sin really owns the clio and the S2000 is his neighbour's car

that clio is fit

20k spent on it apparently.....

The quality is poor - front bumper looks like it's home made >_<

Lets just say it's not my cup of tea!

 

[Matt82]

does it belong to the guy who did the detailing? if not, and its just his neighbour with pie in the sky figures, then ill say i doubt you could actually spend that on a clio

it just cant be possible?!

 

[Sin_Chase]

Belongs to the next door neighbour. The alloys are probably upwards of a grand alone.

Oh, it's a 1.2 too.

Nice job! I need to detail mine, damn swirls

20k spent on it apparently.....

suuuuure...

 

[Sin_Chase]

You can quite easily spend 20k on tat though. Whether he has or not is debatable but it is possible!

 

[Sin_Chase]

Oh and as a side note.. I really really want Black/Silver plates. Cannot believe how much it changes the appearance of the car compared to nasty yellow/whites

That looks really good - presumably you paid to have it done?
Do you mind me asking what it cost?

from the pics, the paint on your s2000 really looks awesome

 

[Sin_Chase]

It's umm... strange. It's some kind of metallic flick but it's got blues, yellows, reds in.

Looking top down its bronze, then as you move around and down it goes a deep red. It's very subtle and without direct sunlight/strong artificial light it appears to be black.

It's official Honda name is Deep burgundy but that's a bit of a stretch

Lee at extreme detailing worked on my car, I recognise that modified "thing" next door.

I was amazed at the results after Lee had spent 8 hours with it, very good value for money with him

 

[Pen66]

Up close shots show the quality of a detail so why would a full car shot be helpful?

I've gone to the liberty of performing a 5 second search for those unable to work out the feature.

Because most people would rather see a clear shot of the car at a non-neck-breaking angle.

Paintwork is paintwork regardless of angel

Posted to show the paint results and colour starting to come out, this picture happened to show the colour and quality of the finish better than a lot of the others.

Indeed, very happy with the result

Kinda shows the paint well, or at least better than a still image. Excuse the audio, just picked something random on YouTubes Audioswap
