Another Z4 – From swirly to shiny!

Thursday, August 12th, 2010

Another quick update – a Z4 from back in May. I recently found the pictures on my memory card and had to put them up!

Not much of a write up, but some good before, during and after pictures – plenty of contamination to deal with too!

Golf GTi – Edition 30 Show Prep

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

The owner of this immaculate Edition 30 GTi contacted us to help restore some gloss and get the wheels prepped and swapped ready for GTI International.

Couldn’t resist a few cheeky pics and the wheels really set the car off, the Monza 2′s with a custom paint job looked fantastic.

Enjoy!

some light holograms to be removed.

How it looked afterwards – more after the break!

Again, more apologies for not many write ups, we have several lined up to get on the blog, but we though we should share this one first.

Not much talking, I think the pics speak for themselves!

Midlands Detailing – Charity Work

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

Midlands Detailing were proud to help sponsor The Panto Factory for their fantastic performance of Robin Hood to help raise money for the Mary Stevens Hospice, NSPCC and Max Appeal.

After a tough year for the group where costumes and scenery were destroyed they put on a brave face in aid of charity and give us a fantastic performance on the classic tale of Robin Hood.

Thank you so much for your generosity in sponsoring Robin Hood – The Pantomime

The show was a great success and loved by all.

We and our charities will be eternally grateful for your contribution and it is through your kindness that we are able to help them:

* At least one child dies in the UK every week as a result of an adult’s cruelty and thousands more endure abuse and neglect at the hands of their carers. We hope that our donation will help the NSPCC to put a full stop to this – thank you.
* The Mary Stevens Hospice specialize in the active, total care of patients with incurable illness. Care focuses on maximizing patient quality, rather than quantity of life. With your help the hospice can give special care to local people who really need it – thank you.
* The Max Appeal Supports families affected by DiGeorge syndrome. This is an inherited condition which can result in health problems of varying degrees. It affects about one in 4,000 births. It can cause autoimmune disease and often heart defects. With your help we are able to help this small group of local children.

Thank you again for your help

Kind Regards
The Panto Factory

If you have a local charity/event or group that you think we could help then please get in touch!

Car Care in the snow – Clean out those arches!

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

A short video showing the dirt and road grit/salt coming out of the arches after a week of snow fall. The attachment is an underbody lance that connects to a pressure washer (In this case a Karcher Professional unit, but they do sell other fittings) from Autobrite Direct (http://www.autobritedirect.co.uk).

Just shows how much dirt can get trapped in there as they were initially rinsed when the car was foamed.

Cleaning out the arches regularly helps to stop the build up of dirt which traps water and increases the risk of them rusting. All of our services include a thorough underbody and arch clean – perfect to prevent dirt build up after a harsh winter.

Nissan Skyline GT

Friday, September 18th, 2009

This Nissan Skyline GT came to us for one of our enhancement details. The owner had the car recently imported from Japan and was concerned about the amount of fallout on the car, in particular some iron filings.

Please excuse the lack of pics on this detail, we had a slight camera mis-function at the start of the day when the batteries forgot they were batteries for a short period and died on us!

Focus ST Paintwork Correction

Sunday, April 5th, 2009

It was a strange day at Midlands Detailing Towers.

The recently purchased Focus ST arrived with us before 8am on a glorious April morning, the sun was breaking through a damp and overcast night with promise of 15 degree temperatures and straightforward paint correction….and only one of the hopes came true….

The initial inspection a few weeks prior to the booking showed straightforward paintwork correction and the blending in of a few stone chips – just another day we cheered as we dreamt of an ice cold beer in the pub that evening.
