Anyone know where I can get either of the above done well in the Bath/Bristol area?? Want to go to somewhere I know will do a good job without scratching my car or something equally annoying. Also how much does it usualy cost, seen that a normal valet ranges from about £35-60 - is mopping going to be extra or do valeters do that anyway? Not got much of a clue to be honest as I've never had either done before :o

Since I've got my newly sprayed bumper & other bits on, the rest of the car is a bit faded in comparison :rolleyes: and matt_S on here recommended getting it mopped. Can't seem to find any on the web in this area though.

Cheers in advance (if anyone replies ;) )

i wouldnt pay 30-60 pounds for a valet in this weather :eek:

best way is do it yourself with some good wax and stuff. ;) id never trust someone i dont know to do it. :wack:

Get some G10 liquid compound from your local factors £10, then get a cheapy buffer from halfords £30 and do it yourself, nice and gently with not to much liquid, just apply a little bit on the pad at a time and dont work the same place to long. Then just rub off with some lint free rags again bout £2 from halFRAUDS! Cant beat doing it yourself man! :thumbs:

I spent all day saturday trying to get a good colour match - its only the passenger side wing which is clearly a different shade of white now. It must have been resprayed at some point or other as its slightly darker than the door as well. I was hoping a mopping session would bring that up to scratch as well but I think I'll have to make do and maybe have the wings blended in as well at some point. :cry: More money I don't have :annoyed:
