OK update time!!
We have now teamed with with Another company called Auto elite Ltd... The owner is like myself demands only the best , uses the best of everything!! We will be tacking ALL our full wrap projects together , i now undertake all his detailing works at his shenstone based unit effectively doubling my target audience in one swoop! Whats even cooler i can now offer his services at my site, Ghost alarms, window tinting
Im back with Honda this week wrapping another set of Type Rs which are reportedly selling much quicker with our red edition accenting work! i am planning to record what goes on at honda HQ
Coatings wise most of my customers are now choosing kamikaze which is about as high end as these coatings get! Fantastic!
Outside of this its amazing to use the space for my own servicing needs, i LOVING tinkering again with my own vehicles and the sense of satisfaction in not paying someone is huge. The z4m will be in the studio hopefully next week where i will prepping the car for its coatings.. it will be fully detailed inside and out, and every single coating i offer will be throw at it! i cant WAIT to do it!
i'm MORE than blown away with what its achieved so far. Even more so... ive proven to myself that with a dream, anything is possible. Thanks for all the support from the forum, honestly its been so helpful!

Beedub Byron, been reading through your posts off & on since you started this thread. Really impressed with the work you do & your commitment is top class. You must be really proud of your achievements & you've got some top businesses already wanting you . Love that last video at Honda HQ. Also the job you did on parabolica Marc's Z4 looked superb. Well done, you've come along way in such a short time. I may just have to pay you a visit for a bit of detailing, mine could do with some pampering . Just one question; does the soft top protection stiffen to the fabric at all, I always thought it was designed to let the water through to the waterproof membrane underneath? It did look cool though with the water beading & running off like that .
All the best, Dave
All the best, Dave

Hi DAve thanks so much for the comments, i cant express my gratitude to the forum members , i truly believe the goodwill ive received here has helped me focus.
Ive researched LOTS of products and i mean LOTS... The key element was not a single additional extra stiffness to the material. Of course my concern was that any extra stiffness could cause cracking and failure of the material. Im really pleased to say that zero and i mean zero extra stiffening happens to the material. I believe you are correct re the membrane underneath. But these hoods are now getting much older and i think the waterproofing really helps keep them in tip top condition, but its the customers choice and im happy to leave the restorations at deep cleans and a gentle redye. When it rains hard the water literally jumps off the roof its MAD! lol! Marc was very happy with his hood work and commented how much fresher it looked. It was very tired before hand and it took me ages to scrub the moss off it, the stuff i use is anti-bacterial too so should ward off those nasties for a little longer! If their is anything i can do to help please remember the forum discount! im DYING to do my first ///M that doesn't belong to me!! Doing my own car just isn't fun, lol!

First z4m thats NOT mine coming in shortly i think!! Super excited for this one!!! Something is happening with these cars guys! my last z4 vlog surpassed ALL my other Vlog for views in a week, some of them are over 3-4 months old, people are searching for info on the z4 and i believe we will be seeing an upsurge in sales by some margin this summer.

I couldn't change the paint on my v12vs, and would have added the black rear boot strip, particularly as i now have the extra rear carbon diffuser.
From this:
to this:
probably a simple job, except the faff of the AM badge.
