Here we go... the result of the DMR Enhancement Detail.
































I think thats enough...  :signLOL:



Im more than happy with the results on my paintwork, it was fairly heavily swirl marked as I'm sure Nathan will testify. Although its not a 100% correction, its a 97% improvements to the surface marks on the paint, and as its a daily I think a 100% correction would be a bit of a waste.

Then on to AKS for a service and rear brakes to be changed. Firstly, Alex was extremely accommodating because I was over an hour late (due to getting stuck in the DRM workshop by a german POS with a flat battery  :signLOL:). Alex has a great little workshop. An oil change was carried out with Millers Nano Technology 5w40 oil, according to Alex its better to use an oil with a slightly more vicious 'hot' rating, especially in a mapped car when the engine is worked harder. Also the OEM rear discs and Brembo HP2000 pads fitted, I cannot fault his service and ill be using him again.

Thanks Robin, it does look so much better for it. Even today, its covered in 100 miles of dust, but it looks way better than its ever done since i have owned it. In fact, i might just have to keep on to it for a bit longer.  :jumpmove:

Speak to Alex about the oil Robin, I think he has some links to info regarding it if you want to read up on it, I'm sure he would also give you his opinion on it, maybe start a thread. :happy2:

I discussed the Millers with Alex too & would like to give it a try.  Think Im going to put some engine flush & edge through it again and the next round of jobs I have for Alex get the Millers put through her

Whilst at DMR, Nathan decide to crush test my car rig with a 2 ton Volvo XC90  :signLOL: , surprisingly the 1.5mm wall thickness on the aluminium tubes didn't bend at all.  :grin:
