Hi Guys :D

Excuse the lack of photos and updates. I've been quite busy working on things that I considered a bit dull for sharing or even a couple of motors where owners stated they did not want pictures appearing online..........their choice entirely of course. The valeting/detailing work has been varied which is great; Toyota Yaris, another Freelander, a simply gorgeous Volvo D5, a lovely Audi A6 avant and an 18ft Speedboat amongst others............varied :nod:

The speedboat was a wonderful job. Not only because of the detail required, but also because of the sheer scale of the task!! Something I could really get stuck into. 13 hours of polishing and waxing alone :)

I received an interesting request last night too........would I be interested in helping to prepare a 29 year old Ford Sierra (one owner from new, 72k etc etc) for sale? This promises to be the biggest difference between before and afters yet, and work starts next week!

:cheers2: Should be good.

Thanks for your kind comments mate :D

The speedboat is a 5 litre V8 John :)
The Sierra is one of those typical cars that you see rolling around........with the little old lady driving it who's owned it from new. Hope I can do it justice, but there is no time limit on the work so I can fit it in around my other commitments. Once the work is complete it will be going up for sale.

Ah the V8 mercruiser....a friend of mine had an 28ft sea going craft a few years back with the inboard v8 lovely engine and used to have some grunt too....used to get his boat up to 45 knots.....mine you it used to drink more than George Best could on a good night....
I know what you mean about the car too mate......there is a car running around near where I live where the lady has owned it for at least 28 years that I know of......I keep my eye out for it and next time I see her parked up I might just leave her my details to say if she ever wants to sell it to call me......
I mean bless her she is 86 now but still uses it every day..

Nice to hear that you're keeping busy. That speedboat is lush. Have fun with the sierra mate, would have loved to have been able to add it to the collection.
