Professional is not even close, the guy is paint obsessed. He has a little gadget that tells him the thickness of your paint in microns, and when he does a paint correction he gets the whole car within X number of microns all over. It is unbelievable!

This is the guy that I use, comes round once a year & does all 3 cars.

The guy is good, very good. To do all 3 cars took him 6 full days. The RRS taking 3 of those! This was with colour correction, to remove the small scatches & full zymol treatment. He will travel, so his location is no major problem.

This was the Porsche http://www.elitedetailing.co.uk/content/porsche_996gt3_red.htm

all detailer's that carry out paint correction process should use these paint measurement gauges John mentioned as without these a detailer could easy burn through the clear coat or not leave enough clear which could result in clear coat failure. Regards,

I was looking at your porsche's results a while ago thinking guards red, what a nice colour on a equally nice car

That is one nice Porsche and you have gone for one hell of a colour, not seen one in that red before. The Elite boys did a damn good job on the paint work too.

I have to admit that G who is Elite is a personal friend. He's the only guy in the company, but I've never known anyone work so damn hard. He did swear last time he came round he would not touch a Range Rover ever again because they are so big, but I think he's changed his mind as he bought a RRS a few months back!

John, thanks for the comments on the GT3. I wouldn't normally have gone for a red car, but it just looked so good in the showroom! There is probably about 20-30 in the country in that colour, had 3 of them together at Spa earlier this week. It's got gold BBS wheels on at present which is a real marmite combination. HSE TD6 (Java Black/Ivory)

I've met G from Elite , He is NOT a personal friend but he is a nice guy and does very good work.

I would let him loose on my RRS if I wasnt so obsessive myself.

now where did I put my wax .......

In the pics on the Elite web site the GT3 has standard wheels, have you got any pics of the gold BBS. I am a bit of a wheel nerd so would love to see them on (well it is what I do for a living!!).
