Posh Wash
« on: July 31, 2014, 05:42:42 pm »
Shmee150 from YouTube takes his vinyl wrapped McLaren MP4-12C to these guys so I'm guessing they're okay  :popcornsoda:

Assuming that these guys use PH netural shampoos etc(?), is there anything similar to them outside of London?

Thanks.

Not sure how they're different from any other pro detailer?

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Well, price for starters - which obviously means you don't get something(s) that you'd get with a pro detailer?

Also, availability? Looks like they've got a turn up/convenience feel to it.
On the surface it seems like a 'Waitrose Polish hand car wash' without the swirling and damage afterwards?

I could be wrong, hence asking the Q....

"Bodywork dried using Aqua-Dry synthetic leather clothes. Windows are cleaned on the outside using Window Clean."


"bodywork is machine polished using a variety of products (T-Cut Original, Paint Renovator, P10 Grov Polish Plus and P30 Anti Hologram Polish Plus) to restore paint."

"Estimated Time: 3-5 hours"


LOL

It takes us 3 hours to get a car ready for polishing let alone wash it, clean the interior and polish it.
We could do a single stage enhancement with a light polish in  5 hours on an average sized car but would be a 8-9 hour day as 5 hours is spent polishing

There are some good london based detailers if you can't be bothered or don't have the facilities.

I'm nowhere near London Jay, I was asking purely to see how good they are for a hand car wash price. It looks like the answer is: not much better really  :laugh:

The fact that old Shmee took his MP4' there made me think they might actually be alright a lazy option for us that are concerned about our paintwork  :driver:
