Detailing / Spring cleaning

Post by smallspeed »

OK, time to do my bit for the 10k for 10yrs!

I'm going to offer some basic detailing / spring cleaning services to people, this isn't a full week long top-to-tail detail or concourse prep, as I don't have the time right now to take much more of this type of work on, but I'll offer the following at a special DDK price..

1 day exterior detail carried out in south Leic, consisting wash, clay, polish and wax - £100, 70 to ddk, 30 to me for expenses. This will include a small sample pot of the same wax used on the car for you to top-up the shine later in the year

I'll also offer as above but carried out at your home or place of choice; I would need access to power and water plus some space to work, so please bear this in mind.
prices are as above plus some money for travel expenses; will agree on a case-by-case basis, but guessing +£10 for upto 50 miles and +£20 for 50-100

I have limited availability next spring and early summer because im getting married, but otherwise should be able to fit people in this year and next

drop me a PM if interested and we can discuss

Well somehow I avoided the voyager :lol:
This Saturday was mostly spent giving Jason's RSR a clean. Apparently he'd not cleaned it since CLM, and had been driving it lots since booking it in to get his monies worth :lol:

Anyway..

Sorry for the small pictures; somehow my computer went a bit OTT on the size reduction! I will try again and replace with some bigger ones later on

Hi Ben

Great job ..... could you do a car in Beaconsfield (Bucks)? Probably about 100 miles from you and power, water and space no problem.

Flexible on dates but ideally sometime in spring. Pls PM me a price and some dates and we can take it from there.

Thanks

I'm not standing for that!! :evil: :evil:

Those pics are utter crap Ben (anybody would think you are deliberately not wanting to work 8 hours for £30!!! :lol: )

The car was a bit of a state its fair to say as had not been washed for some months and had been used as the maker intended.

It is pretty good underneath the dirt though so just needed Ben to extract it.....it was looking pale and used.

And what an amazing job he has done. REALLY pleased. Looking forward to getting it dirty on way to Scotland at the weekend now...

Here is what his finished product actually looks like (even though its dull and overcast here) 8)

I said he could but he was too busy nattering about sticking your finger up animals backsides :shock: :lol: :wink:

To be fair I had started it earlier with the density of dog feces..
