..... but can’t be bothered and don’t have the time ! So would rather pay someone else to do it .
If someone quoted me £150 ... I’d walk away if I’m honest . The ceramic alone cost quite a bit , let alone all the pads/compounds ect ect .... and it’s a proper skill to do it properly. Mr £150 ruins it for the proper details

He is a proper business and well known, he just has no overheads as he converted his Double garage into a Detailing workshop
Ive been down the expensive(specialist prices) and he is up there with them,and you cant guarantee quality just because you pay more money unfortunately.
Anyway i only put it forward for people in the area

Got to see it from beedub’s side though ..... how would feel if someone undercut and devalued your job role ? Probably wouldn’t be happy would you .
Anyway .... back on topic , I’m loving the fresh look my paint now has , and strangely it’s made me enjoy the car a bit more

I did a full correction on mine a few years back and given the amount of work involved I certainly wouldn't do it for just £150.
It looks good though and seeing as he uses a paint depth gauge you'd assume he knows what he's doing and will take care with it. As ever, you pays your money...

That’s what these chaps use ... rupes and also the ceramic they used was gtechniq ... I’ve also had ( and have a bottle ) of siramik ... which i think is better than the gtechniq stuff but I’ve been told it’s very hard to work with .

Backbreaking tbh!
It was the first time I'd used a machine so I took my time and went gently. Seemed to take ages to get out some really fine hazing in the last phase but managed it eventually. Having done my girlfriends silver z3 I'd probably say I preferred doing mine as I could see the defects more easily, but then I guess that's what makes them buggers to get spot on!
