John, what can I say? I love you! winkeye

You have restored my car back to how it was when I got it back initially from the bodyshop. It is stunning! I never thought the car could look like it did again, but it does, and in some cases, even better. It looks much deeper than before. Its a shame some of the surface scratches couldnt be fully removed, but even so, it is stunning.

I can't wait to get hold of the microfibre pads, rags and polish so that I can keep putting more and more coats on.

You have restored my affection for this car, and am going to take it back to the bodyshop to have them sort the niggly bits, as they have promised to do anyway.

John is a real nice guy, and he was on my car from 8.30 this morning untill 6 tonight. He never let up. I CANNOT thank him enough. Really, I shouldn't be "promoting" him, as I feel my car won't be one of a few blinging cars out there, soon there will be far more. Go for it! :woohoo:

Hey Jon, this is the web addy where i got the rebranded porter from ..

http://www.autodetailingsolutions.com/P ... ecials.htm

i got the online package 3 with a few extra goodies that i ordered,

I have the rechargable hand held one too, but it isnt too great. I basically use it for waxes and sealants as it aint powerful enough to remove any defects.

John,

The pics don't do all your hard work justice, :cry: I will take some pics tomorrow, and try and capture the purity of the paint now.

I can assure anyone, I was imbarressed that my car looked so bad, that I wanted to t'cut and polish it before John came to see it, but it would have defeated the object. The appearenace of the car was such that you wouldn't really look twice. But now it catches your eye and makes you think "WOW!"

The Microfibre cloths/towels John uses really do what he says. My own "softest" polishing cloths would mark the paintwork, but Johns Microfibre cloths didn't mark the paint or even smear the polish whatsoever. :wink:

The results are simply staggering.

Hurry up John with your next group buy... I will buy atleast 2 of everything. :bling:

I've sent John about 20 pics I took of my car this afternoon, I felt they still didn't do the car or Johns work justice, although you will get some idea of how the car looks now.

I have no idea how to post them on here, so hopefully John will do it for me.

Sorry to here about your back John! :(
