cabby Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 I bet valeting that 911 must have been soooooo satisfying. What sort of cost are we talking about for that level of work if you don't mind me asking? Must be the best bit of money the owner has ever spent on that car.

M8CKN Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 That looks amazing. You must get huge job satisfaction doing something like that. But, what is someone doing letting a 911 get in that state? Why does red paintwork seem to fade and go "white" more than any other colour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpsmith Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Unfortunately I bet it does not work that way. I mean, you can spend £1000 on decorating a house to sell and add ten times that to the sale price of the house as people feel they "have a blank canvas" and "can move straight in" even though they paint the damn thing once they move in anyway! ;-) Bet that car would sell instantly now rather than nobody even visiting it in the previous condition, even though it is the same car mechanically!

encee Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 Mate, on this showing, I think the term "expert" springs to mind. A truly fantastic job, and one for which you have an obvious talent. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 All nice work, but the Porsche is testament to superb work and all credit to you for it. However, people who allow a 911 to get into a condition like that.....I hope you put him right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jediknight83 Posted July 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 mmmm DB9. lovely... although after a bit of questioning, the owner admited to taking it through a car wash a few times 6 hrs, full machine polish, layers of wax later and it looked like new again (or better :roll: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
