Good day's work. Refurb on the wheels and a good clean inside and out made a lot of difference. If it had been polished/detailed as well I think it would have looked even better but realise it was trade sale and it will be for the buyer to decide if he wants to bring it up to retail standard.

I don't know if anyone else has commented but I bought a grit guard bucket for car washing and although expensive for a bucket with a plastic grit guard in the bottom... (in my humble opinion) it really does prevents scratching of your paint whilst washing and it has wheels!!.This was after the time my brother washed his dark green metalic peugeot 205 d (student!) without a grit guard and bucket... All i can say is it took bloody ages to polish the car back to something like shiny before selling ....!!!

Top tip on cheap ebay wheel centres. Give them a few coats of lacquer before fitting as they will corrode in months otherwise. It should extend their life to a couple of years instead of 6 months. Oh, and ensure the metal tabs are tight as they usually aren't resulting in the metal cover falling off. And use a bit of heat to soften the plastic tabs and push them out a bit to stop the centres falling out of the wheels as they're usually very loose. Also petrol on a rag takes tar off in seconds. It just wipes it away.

Love your work pal, I’d love to see you use a snow foam attachment on your washer, tfr then a cpl snow foam hits and you will remove more contaminates and do far less damage to the paint work. I have noticed less scratching on my car since using this method. Two buckets and two sponges (clean/rinse) after two or three hits with foam cannon.. Keep up your honest straight approach to your work as you do and folk will que to buy from you. I’d buy from you over the phone unseen. That’s how good your reputation is 🏆

Nice job. It might help you the next time that you are cleaning to use a clay bar. They were recommended to me and the results are great. Yes, a little more work, but it will remove tar spots. It gives a great, super smooth squeaky finish to the paintwork and glass. A Ford dealer that I used to work for had the used car business manager with the same attitude as you. He would always do a deal (didn't like to 'slap their arse' as the expression goes and as such, our branch sold the most cars across the group. Happy customers equals repeat business.

Regarding the sponsorship, looks like a great product but, in my opinion, it dragged on a bit.

It certainly looks a million times better, but please dump those cans of silicone spray in the bin, get some leather cleaner or weak apc mix and clean the seats with that instead. Silicione just makes everything shiny, greasy, slippery and attracts dust and dirt.

Definately wouldn’t use that silicone spray on leather. It would make it so shiny and slippery when leather wants to be matte and hold you in the seats. Like you said, good leather cleaner will do the job. Only place I use silicone spray is on the floor and steps in my work van.
