Best kept Astra vxr on the planet??

[cliobritt]

fair play to him.

 

[Kane.]

Very ott but if hes doing a good job why not.

 

[SC03OTT]

If it was some ultra rare super car it would be fine. But it's an Astra. An Astra.

 

[.Tyler]

Gobsmacked.

LOL at getting it all nice and mapped, to then go and throw a load of weight in it in the form of sound deadening and ICE.

 

[boffey]

What does it say on his heat shield?

 

[Matt W]

He sold this over 12 months ago .. He has a green focus RS now

That would explain it then.

WAX on the numberplate LOL!

 

[adamlstr]

That VXR does now have a roll cage in it...

..and the new owner does let it get grubby !

 

[Munson]

Pmsl at that loll cage. Nice way to make it a 2-seater. I suppose at least keeping the back seats in, folded down, lowers the CoG.

 

[Gally]

+25 brake pony power?

 

[Wick]

Woah!! Mineral water and cotton buds....2 things I would never have even considered when car cleaning.

 

[Dan29]

Actual tears.

That photo does look pretty bad to be fair.

I can't say anything bad about the guy, he's top of his game and he has a passion for what he does... maybe just takes it a little too far sometimes.

That pic is brilliant.......nearly choked on a gob full of tea!

 

[richy22]

You laugh but using cotton buds to remove polish residue from tiny places I do "occsionally"

And also mineral water...I wish I could be arsed to spend money and use some of that. The watermarks I have in my hard-water area are rediculous. Especially on the old Monaco Blue maybe not so now on the silver!

R.O.F.F.F.L.E.

FLOL!

You may well take the piss, but simple fact is he's made a name for himself as a detailer, and will continue to do so based on his attention to detail.

What would you rather, a person who drives a clapped out old van that he clearly couldn't give a shite about, or a lad who takes it maybe a little too far occasionally...? I know who I'd spend my money with.

 

[Gally]

Iirc that's Paul Dalton on the left. (right of the picture)

 

[JD]

It is.

 

[leedsboy]

Quite suprised he let the guy on the right lean/rest his arm on the car to take a photo.

He's Paul Dalton.

It will be gone over with a detailing spray afterwards to remove any oils.

So is it his job now?

 

[JD]

Pretty sure it always was, but might be mistaken...

 

[Cunney]

I saw this at PVS last year, stood their saying to my mate 'I aint into all this chrome engine bay sh1te, it's all about purpose for me', looked up and he was stood there :dead: lol

Heavenly Detail I think he is known as

 

[Gally]

He's always been a pro detailer afaik.

Yeah Rich Heavenly Detail are his company. Chem Guys worked with him and made his own wax, not bad going for a geek...

Massaging your car by hand is a tad to far.

Hahahaha!

It's best way to apply it to be honest, it's what I do with Victoria wax, can get into all the nuts & cranies plus you get a more even spread I find. Your guaranteed grit aint getting caught up either!

Sometimes do it in my undies when the neighbours are out

 

[Ali]

Guy is an utter bellend!!!

Are you the guy featured in the program that was released a while ago, concerning "loving" your car and it's exhaust?

 

[Revels]

Is there a link to a similar VXR thread but on his FRS?

I know it's sad/geeky/OTT but it fascinates me

Now you understand the interest from a clean freak's POV I'll search it out for you bud.

 

[Gally]

He never quite went as far on the FRS Dan.

Lots of Mods though...

Oh hi there.

 

[Revels]

Ta lads. I'll save that for an afternoon when I've had enough of work. So tomorrow.

 

[Gally]

The bottom link has some amazing threads in it Revs, Ferrari's and a few cover cars. Really good to go through them aswell as his own car ones.

 

[Christopher]

That makes Roy's look bent.

The guy still goes waaaaaaaaay too far, IMO. But fair play.

 

[JD]

Loller, I was just thinking that! Where is UBERdetailer these days? It's been a wee bit too quiet...

Flol I did this yesterday!

Applied Dodo supernatural by hand, much much easier to apply, as your hands keep it warm and your able to apply it a lot thinner
