Title: "McKeann's" Balck mk5 GTi enhancement
Post by: craigy123 on March 23, 2013, 11:56:12 am: I was contacted by the owner showing interest in the enhancement detail offer that can be found here

http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,25335.0.html

Unfortunately no pre detail pictures were taken of the car, the pictures start from when the car was inside after all the usual safe wash, decontamination etc.

This wash an enhancement detail, so some defects would be left behind as it wasn't a correction detail.

A few 50/50 pictures... Scholls s17+ with a blue 3m was used, a truly awesome polish!!

Sorry about the lack of pictures, but as you can see snow was on the ground and it was well into the minus. Brrrr.

Thanks for looking
Craig

Just a shame it got filthy when i drove it home, but my main reason for doing it was to make it easier to keep clean in the longer term.

A few friends are interested so i'll pass on your number

Cheers

Thanks for that Neil, really appreciate it mate. Sorry it's not the best write up in the world, but I hardly got any pictures due to being frozen solid :scared:

Very nice looking car with a great spec, was tempted myself when I saw it for sale. Looks even better now. :happy2:

Post by: McKeann on March 24, 2013, 09:41:47 am: I've owned a lotus elise previously, and way back then, my idea of detailing was to give it a rub down with a scouring pad to get rid of the gravel trap marks :grin:

I also have a bit of a reputation on the forum for breaking cars and not caring for them :ashamed:

But i'm a changed man now. honest :innocent:

Not personally tried it, However seen it used in other forums to achieve great results.
