My smart Crossblade has acquired a number of "car wash" scratches and swirling over the years and really could do with some proper paint correction on the painted shiny black parts. Can anyone recommend someone locally?

Darren has retired now but you might still get Paul if you're lucky...

A fair number of us have had them do our cars and the results are outstanding.

Thanks for the recommendations chaps thumbup

As Pete has mentioned, sadly, Darren had to retire due to health issues and I've decided to drastically cut back on the work that I do in order to preserve what is left of my knees. I'll help out existing customers where I can but generally won't be in a position to take on new ones.

Nobody panic though, I won't starve as I have moved back into the land of IT building websites. I have been writing code and designing applications since I was 13 and sadly, am just as obsessive with that as the detailing - before anyone mentions it, yes, computers did exist back then, although they were as big as a house and the Enigma machine was the latest thing. I guess I am always destined to be a nerd/geek smile

Nice work! Black is a sexy colour to work on. Loved doing my Dad's old MK5 GTI.

Did a bit of machining last night to the Porsche. Finally trying to polish out all the wet sanding I have done.
