Had my S Type R for coming up 12 months and loved every minute of it

 

Doesn't get a huge amount of use - think about 2,000 miles since I have owned it but every one of them has been enjoyable

 

The car was comprehensively treated with Bilt Hamber anti-corrosion products in the spring and is jetwashed fully underneath after every trip out and still looks like new

 

Topside saw me strip off all old wax a couple of weeks, full Oil / tar decontamination, clayed, machine polished and sealed with Wolfs Chemicals Bodyguard and then topped off with Mitchell and King wax

 

I refurbed the wheels myself earlier in the year and really pleased with the results - no fading or discolouration suggests I did a reasonable job

 

Got myself a spare engine cover a few weeks ago and just finished tweaking it, filled in the swage line lines and supercharged script, resprayed and attached some new supercharged badges, also gave the charger a quick once over with VHT paint

That car is dazzling Andrew. You wanna do mine? :)

I often do mild corrective work and deep cleaning for people - only ever on cars that I enjoy working on though - never run of the mill stuff

And you're not too far away from either :D

 

Is my S-Type sufficiently non run of the mill Andrew?

Thanks Andrew :)

 

Perhaps you'd care to have an initial appraisal of The Princess to see what might be done? Where in Salop are you? I'm in Wolverhampton.

Perhaps if you want to pop over, I can do paint depth readings, see what you want done - lots of waxes, sealants in my garage - work out what will suit you best

You might get a queue, Andrew.

 

My car is coming to the end of its "alleged' paint protection 3 years next June, and while I have given it its winter  treatment, I think that Easter will need to see a bit of TLC.

I spend stupid amounts of time cleaning the cars - find it very relaxing - you don't think about all the other crap things in life and yopu can stand back and see immediate results for your efforts

 

I have a crazy amount of cleaning products in my garage - well over £1k of waxes alone but I have a very understanding other half who accepts it as a hobby - she benefits as her car is never dirty either
