Detail My Ride's New Detailing Studio

[Greeners]

Hi Fella's,

As some of you may be aware I have been working closely with Gareth @ DMR for a good while and last summer we made the decision to join forces full time and take the business to the next level with some purpose built premises.

We spent most of last summer trawling the local area and beyond to find a suitable premises to run both the detailing business and my Car Sales business from one location.

To say we are happy with what we have found is an understatement and I thought I'd share some of our journey with you. So here is the site on day one, yes some imagination was required!! 





But things did progress quite quickly.......




Floor in so we can start to get an idea of the size of the place!




Exterior cladding nearly there!


And finally the unit was ready and we got our hands on the keys!!






Then the hard really work began! 

First and foremost we needed the floor to be fit for purpose so it had to be done to a professional level so first an acid etch was applied to the new concrete, then a layer of primer and finally the top coat. It had to be then left for seven days to cure!!





And finally after several days of cleaning sweeping and painting in sub zero temps the floor was ready!!





Then finally the moving in started! 



And the work to pay for it all has started too!! 









Brake caliper refurb and Enhancement detail:






Lots more updates to come over the next few weeks including signage etc and we'll be @ Ultimate Dubs so feel free to come and say hi!
Obviously MK5's are my speciality and as such forum members will be looked after! 

Solid Black Edition30 major overhaul including dent repairs and wheel refurb to come next week! 

Thanks for reading!

Awesome build thread! Think it rivals your Black Beauty.

Sorry I couldn't come down this week due to work. Might try and pop in tomorrow lunchtime-ish if you're around. Look forward to the ED30 writeup.

Subscribed.  Thats an amazing turn around of premises. So do you do mrchanical work as well as detailing, or just cosmentic?

I presume you have a website, will go off to look at it now.

Good luck with the business guys.

Thanks chap!  

Just the cosmetic side of things for now, but if the requirement is there we have the space to add a ramp and a grease monkey!

Good luck matey.

Looks spot on mate. All you need now is a couple of Hollyoaks calendars and you're all set!

  Thanks John! 

A nice thought but there's a lot of hard work involved for the return and the overheads don't seem to get any smaller!    Saying that I wouldn't have it any other way, can't beat being your own boss!

Is this you full time then Nathan? Fantastic. Must feel great.

Can you PM me some details, location etc. Might pop down for a chat. Did want Russ to look after my car, and get it sorted but he is just so busy.

[Greeners]

Cheers Luke! 

As full time as I can be as well as trying to run my own business too! 

Pm'd....

Well done pal. In with both feet i see.  I bet not many detailing businesses start off with a custom built unit. 
Wish you both all the best. I bet Floras Pirelli will be down to the primer by next summer.
