Right from the very start we knew we were in for a tough time with this one. A few years of automatic car wash abuse and time spent ploughing through hedgerows by the previous owner had left this magnificent motor looking dull and lifeless. The brief was simple, get the car looking as good as possible – not being scared of a challenge we cracked on and this is how we did it…
Dull, lifeless and lacking gloss…
…to glossy, sharp and reflective
It isn’t very often that we get excited by a product but when I got an email asking to detail a new car in white I couldn’t wait to give it a try. More after the finished photo!
Giggling schoolgirls. That is what we were reduced to after hearing the 5 litre supercharged V8 engine burble away on this recent detail.
It is rare we get as excited as this, but the distinctive jaguar interior smell, a car that looks good from any angle combined with an engine powerful enough to make your eyes water was enough to have us squealing like six years old’s in a sweet shop.
So, where do I start with this write up…
Midlands Detailing have been contacted about working on a rather unique display piece. The piece is currently part of a developing Aerospace and Technology centre that benefits Air Cadets in the Staffordshire Wing area.
The centre has just had a major refurb and the Phantom was suffering from some serious dust coverage but also some more permanent staining on the nose cone from its previous place of retirement.
Here at Midlands Detailing we don’t like to shy away from a challenge so we turned up on a nice spring day to be greeted with what can only be decribed as a mammoth task.
Here are some befores…
It’s been a long time since we’ve added a write up on here, various holidays and jobs taking up a lot of our time! But here at Midlands Detailing we’re committed to communicating what we are up to with the public. This being the first job of 2010 on the 3rd of Jan we thought what better time to continue what we started in 2009!
This MG ZS was a customer from the Rover Tech website and came to us feeling a little sorry for itself. It’s a bit of an on going project for the owner after it’s recent 2.0 Turbo conversion and then having various other mods added to it.
From the pictures below you can see the sort of condition the car was in:
There has been a distinct lack of write-ups recently for Midlands Detailing and we apologise for this but spare time has been hard to come by! We’re having a busier period than normal at this time of year and would like to thank all of our customers for that.
This car we thought deserved a write up.
Here at Midlands Detailing we’re not fans of believing the hype that can often surround a product so we always try things out before using them on customers cars.
We’ve heard and seen good things lately about the blackfire range of products so have got our hands on the Blackfire Wet Ice Over Fire Shine Kit which contains a good helping of their products including a long life sealant, some carnuba wax and a spray sealant. To add to this we also have the Blackfire Gloss Enhancing Polish.
The Audi A4 DTM is a limited edition model that celebrates Audi winning all three DTM titles. With a power increase to 220 bhp from its 2.0 TFSI engine it delivers on the power front, with the extra carbon fibre parts making it stick out from the crowd of fleet A4′s on the motorway.
This particular car had seen quite a bit of motorway travel and was showing signs of general wear and tear, nothing that we couldn’t address!
Apologies for the lack of write ups recently – Being busy throughout May and the weather not being great so far has meant write ups have taken a break until now, we couldn’t resist some photographs of this very rare and very beautiful car.
Apologies for the lack of write ups recently, it has been a busy month at Midlands Detailing HQ. The latest write up is one that we really enjoyed – a beautiful Nissan 350z which we were lucky enough to have for three days to work on.
