I’m just as guilty – we all pamper the Garage Queen (GQ) and neglect the daily. Or another common one we tell ourselves, “I’ll do it in spring”. We all know that the truth is, most of the damage is done during the winter so we should really be correcting and protecting now!
Our PDR process in action (paintless dent removal).
This post covers the sensible owner of a lovely 997 911 who, during a recent switch, asked us to wave the magic wand over his V90.
Despite the family battle scars, and the fact it’s not an F40, these are among the most satisfying jobs of them all. Throw in a time limit, as you are typically only out for a limited window and the pressure is on!
“I’m back Wednesday, think you could turn it around?” Love it.
Firstly, you can’t just take a polisher to a panel, there are multiple stages of decontamination and paint depth measuring before any machine work takes place. However, we can skip all that as we have covered all that previously.
Top tip, you get more bang for your buck the less you spend. For example, when machining, it’s natural for a detailer to want to remove the scratch and often we take a second pass simply because we can’t help ourselves! This works particularly well when it’s the daily as the bar tends to be lower so our recommendation is our enhancement detail.
As you can see, Torvill and Dean had been to town on this one, there were half a dozen dents and door dings, all coupled with 2 or 3 deep county lane scratches down the N/S. Almost sounds like a bush tucker trial!
Half and half as we help illustrate the impact mid process to the owner.
Given the PDR and curing time on the coating, we actually did this across 3 days. But with a bit of luck, we have been known to complete it in two. I didn’t actually capture shots of everything the enhancement package covers, but the whole car was addressed including the interior, boot and engine bay.
So, if you feel like giving your daily some much-needed TLC, we would love to help. Here’s a link to our detailing packages for more info or just hit the button below.
