Shiny Detailed Boxster - pics

Got the Boxster detailed today. It looked lovely when I bought it but then when the sun eventually appeared it showed up a load of swirls on the paintwork. I wasn't happy. Tried to get them out myself with some Poorboys stuff (which worked a treat on my Freelander) but it didn't touch them. Maybe something to do with Porsche paint but there was no way I was going to get them out by hand so I booked it in today with Mango Valeting.
The Valet Manager, Nick came out to the house in his big van, completely self contained, used his own water & electricity and had a big awning fitted on the side of the van in case of bad weather.
I am over the moon! Had a wash, full machine correction, wheels, roof etc and waxed. Had a proper, 'ooooh shiny' moment. It's like a brand new car.
I used Mango with no recommendations so it was a fingers crossed moment but I needn't have worried, it's brill :D et voila.....

Products he used were called Sterling. Never heard of them before.

nice to know that the company are good, I drive past their head office on my way to work and always wondered what they were like
 
that looks really good ......
wondering how much it cost ...., its inspired me to start checking online around here in Scotland and Im seeing prices from 250 to 1000 .......

would really like to get the Zed looking like that .....
 
Looks great you can really see how it has added depth to the paint :thumbsup:

Teameracing - > yep that's what I found - quite often depends how much liability insurance they are carrying .
 
Cost £349 which included a No More Wax treatment. He said he would pour some sort of acid (he did say but I forgot) over the car and it wouldn't touch it to show me. I declined :o :D
It's guaranteed for 3 years.

They cover Shropshire & Cheshire.
 
looks great carol where abouts are they situated and how much where they if you dont mind and how long did he spend on your car,thinking of getting this done soon :thumbsup:
darren
 
They are in Shrewsbury. They'll travel outside their area but would charge more I should think.
See post above for cost. He was here from 10 til about 3.30pm.
 
I really like your Boxster C & now it looks even better :thumbsup: hope it doesn,t live outside :oops:

Ps / look what,s in my "watched item,s" on the bay :wink: Needs bigger wheel,s & not sure it would be pokey enough but looks a decent buy for the ask http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261401756635?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
 
Looking lovely Carol. Nothing like a swirl free finish - now the OCD kicks in big time!
 
Excellent result and I think a great price for considering the work done and the fact that they come to you. :thumbsup:

:driving: :thumbsup:

Oh no, it lives in a cosy garage. :thumbsup:

That one you're watching looks really nice. Love the colour of it. Looks mint as well :thumbsup:
