Couple of questions.

Firstly how much would a professional charge to do that on say an Omega?

Secondly glass treatment. I am interested in that AngelwaxH2go. Is that readily available should the shops ever reopen?

This is our "local" detailing shop, he's always good for recommendations. Worth a message to see if he's still at work :)

Good write up.  :y

As I said previously, my lad did it as a living for years so he has the light rails, reflector boards etc.  He also did dent repair etc but changed jobs a couple of years back and left all of his clobber in my garage, even though he has his own house.  ::)   It's a lot of gear.  :y

As you know, it can take many hours, but worth the results at the end.  :y
Well, you're not far from me if you want to practice your dent removal and detailing skills ;D

I'm ok on the detailing but never tried his dent repair stuff. He was a tinny/panel beater at crash repair so grew up doing it.  :y

Could this be made a sticky, or go into the guides section ?
