I did a maintenance detail yesterday on the silver c class I have posted in my gallery, but I don't always take pictures...in any event it still looks just like it did then :P

I was just talking with the Porsche 911 guy, he has a friend who wants his 1 series BMW doing in time for a trip down to Goodwood, so all being well that will be on for this sunday...The Porsche will follow shortly after ;)

Word of mouth is good and the website backing it up helps a lot :) the more pics the better I say and that time lapse would do wonders for you I bet :)

Well what a hard week its been :roll:

Normal work Monday to Saturday then this morning an early start doing a BMW 1 series :roll: Im soo tired :|
Next weekend im having the weekend off, plus its mothers day so it will keep Linda happy that im not working :)

The weekend after ill be doing the Porsche, and ive also agreed to paint up the BMW 1 series guy's brakes for him as they are a rusty and look a right state through his now pristine alloys.

It felt better today doing a single day enhancement rather than a full on correction detail as it only took 6 hours rather than the usual 10 hours so I got back mid afternoon instead of around 7 pm.

Never mind, only 13.5 hours until I walk into the office for another full time week :lol:

Are the BMW brakes brembo at all are just some sliding caliper style ones?

They always do Vince :) a good lacquer is so much better long term as they resist the crud better.
