So, the story goes, I made a comment on the Le Mans Instagram page early summer (before Le Mans) and someone I went to school with responded to my comment.
Anyway, we connected on Facebook and had a good old chat about the old days and the conversation got round to what we're both doing now.
As we've both had a massive career change since we last saw each other about 15-20 years ago, I was interested to hear that he gave up building roads and carparks, and is now a car detailer.
He said he'd love to have a go at mine especially as I had mentioned that I had a few scratches which needed attention, loads of swirl marks and that 3/4's of the car probably needs a re-spray to get it looking A1.
So I dropped my car off with him Friday afternoon as I was spending the weekend with my parents and picked it up Sunday afternoon.
I was gobsmacked at the results. And the car looks far far better than I could ever imagined. It looks better than when I bought it!
The bits I thought would need a spray, I don't, the scratches are non-existent, the work is top drawer, and he is much cheaper (I think as he has just got started) than anywhere I've come across (by about 70%!!!).
The results are here. And I've not used any fancy instagram filters either.
This is who I used. http://www.hyperglosspvd.co.uk
I would thoroughly recommend Darren. He's based in Wickford, Essex, but does travel and has clients in all over Essex, Kent, Herts and London as well.
