Such a beautiful car! 😍 And phantastic work! Thanks for sharing 🙏

[@gpawoody]

Such a pleasure watching you take care of the mg. Thanks for explaining the reasoning behind your choice of treatment for a classic car. Wish you were closer to me, need my mgb gt detailing like that.

[@pmgautocare]

Thank you for the kind words. We love working on classics, our next upload is going to be a beautiful classic 911.

Great video!

My mgb is looking sad after along time spent waiting for repairs. This inspires me to get at it when. It finally gets back …. Carefully 🇦🇺👍

[@pmgautocare]

Always part of the fun of old cars but so rewarding when you finally have them back just how you want again

[@RobsonRoverRepair]

Happy Christmas Pete you handsome chap. Stunning mgb, right colour and trim all round. End results are always great with your work.

Beautiful job you did bring it to the best finnish.. I had a '65 in the same brg when I was a lad..

[@pmgautocare]

Thanks!

[@adambassador7727]

Well done! Nice job and explanations.

[@pmgautocare]

Thanks!

Lovely work!

I was hoping you were going to detail the whole car, inside as well. Also, engine bays are a nightmare on classics. If you do one be sure to video it. Cheers !

[@pmgautocare]

As it was just finished restoration there wasn’t much to do interior and engine wise, we have some more classics coming up soon though, unrestored original cars 😎

[@user-os7jz1oc5y]

Really nice work.Any insights into making cleaning of chrome wires a bit easier?It's a tedious process.

[@pmgautocare]

Unfortunately I have yet to find much that speeds up that task myself! Just have to get a good podcast on and settle into the job lol

[@OnTrackDetailing]

Nice video, only suggestion would be to invest in a good microphone as it's hard to hear you at times. Amazon has some cheap wireless ones for around £25 which work really well. Has a USB C plug into your phone and then wireless mics with noise cancellation, or if you use a DSLR you can also get 3.5mm jack ones :)

[@pmgautocare]

Thanks I’ll grab one of those!

[@ericcriteser4001]

OMG. As soon as you started spraying. It wS going all over inside. Lol.

[@pmgautocare]

The joys of old British cars 😂

[@kramnam4716]

Great ! How much for a job like that?

[@pmgautocare]

It really depends on the vehicle but it was sub £1000

[@craighardwick-smith5841]

Hi, great work, great video and it looks stunning. I have the same colour MGB in a '74 GT so am really inspired by your work to correct the pain and bring out the shine. Do you recall what compound, pads and speeds you used on your machine. I'll probably do a lot of it by hand where's it's not too bad, but might have to machine a few panels. Unfortunately my '74 is a bit like trigger broom where it's had a couple of accident repairs over the years (people keep running into me) so some areas are better than others.

[@pmgautocare]

Hi Craig, with classics no two are ever the same. So I suggest just start at the least aggressive polish and pad combination you have and work your way up from their until you find the right combination. Also it’s quite common for some areas to react differently than others, so you need to assess it on a panel by panel basis. Keep the speed low to medium and keep an eye on heat, particularly towards panel edges. Hopefully you get the results you are after and thanks for watching.

Omg don't you just hate to see these old mgbs looking pristine?.... Like they just left the factory give me a tatty old mgb anytime...
