1st Detail

[HWK 114]

I was a little disappointed with the paint finish on a new car and the water marks after cleaning so I booked my first ever detailing session. I had booked a new car detail but this became a 2 stage detail due to the bad swirling which we believe most of which was from the dealer.

Stage 1 was a good wash, clay and polish to remove the swirling which some were very deep.

Stage 2 was a Kamikaze Ism coating + overcoat followed by Gtechniq Fabric protection, Dr Leather Dye block and anglewax glass coating.

It looks like a different car! This was all down to Ed Staples from Divine Detail fro Surrey. I did a lot of research obviously being a Detailing virgin but found this chap had lots of positive feedback through various forums and is obsessed with his work and enjoys it. I could have found a local company but in the end I guessed if those with cars well in excess of 100-200k trusted him and talked highly of his work, then who was I to worry with my Abarth.

I'm glad I did and the car looks amazing!

That looks superb! Made an almost dull colour super glossy!

Circuit Grey is very hard to get perfect but it does reward you for putting the work in, the same as you mine was quite badly marked from new but it's holding up ok now it's had a hard sealant coating. Here is a little picture with it wearing no make up (waxes/glazes etc)

I have never been too sure of my colour of choice but agree seeing it in this new glossy finish does make a difference and transforms it. I expect it'll last approx 18 months+ so fingers crossed

Looks great  circuit grey is growing on me more and more and the coating will hopefully make life a little easier. The swirling was really bad and he had a hard job polishing it out!
