Excuse the lack of recent updates. Things have gone a bit turbo at this end and as a consequence, the photos and write ups have taken a bit of a back seat.

Return visits to existing clients mean that the updates will focus on new cars for a while, so here goes.......an ultra rare Evo X RS and VW Transporter Sport both booked in for a same day interior and exterior valet.

Finished photos of both after decontamination and two stage hand polish for the Evo to create a consistent clear finish and single stage polish and sealant for the VW to create a really durable layer of protection

VW Transporter was the priority for the client and would definitely take the longest to sort out due to this being it's first clean in two years and the nature of the work that it does!

As you can see from the pictures above, all door shuts were cleaned and protected, all of the paintwork was deep cleaned to remove grease, tar, bugs, tree sap and anything else and then it was all polished and/or sealed to offer longer term protection......including the roof!

Next up was the gorgeous RS Evo X. The photos were taken at about 7pm so excuse the lack of light! (Was a long old day by the time I'd driven an hour home :) )

A lovely car the X. In the metal they seem to carry a lot more aggression that pictures suggest, and I have to say I was impressed with this one. Nice brakes, decent suspension and the focused approach of the RS meant that it just had the bits it needed to go, turn and stop very quickly and nothing else:thumbs:

A cracking pair of vehicles and a hard but enjoyable first day of working with Ross and the guys at Ross Sport. I look forward to further adventures in Littleport :cheers2:

Nice work Stu. :thumbs:

How long did it take to empty the van of random Mitsubishi parts, cig packets and cans of Red Bull? :D

It would be unprofessional for me to comment on the empty and half empty fag packets, coffee cups and other things Danny :) It certainly looked better after a couple of hours on the interior :D
