Had this done by "Shine on" from Basingstoke - recomended if you really cant be bothered to spend 9hrs cleaning just the outside of your car!

I went for the best in show polish which was more and it was around £300. Alot of money but TBH its my first detail ever and the car now shines better than it ever has done, even looked a different colour in the sun with up to 5 different flake colours being visable, something I had not been aware of before!! I also only need to wash it now and not polish for quite a few months, then a simple re-wax (not polish!) to bring it up to the same standard. If your pockets deep enough splash out as it really is worth it but I would not say its something for everyone - especially those as a daily driver.

I cant see the point in spending that much myself (as living in Devon means its covered in crap in 500 yards), but yours looks great. I like the wheels btw.

Is that £300 all-in? If so, sounds like a bargain to me. The car looks STUNNING. Worth doing once a year to keep it in tip top shape. Shine On is highly rated by the Lotus community (he posts on Seloc), and I can understand why. Top job.

Spectacular car. Have you actually got tires on there, or is it just a smear of black paint on the wheels :P

Got to say, £300 sound like a bargain to get it looking that good. If it really does stay at that standard for a few months with regular washing and a re-wax, then that is the bargain of the century.

they aren't 'standard'.

looks good. if you've got £300 then it sounds like the right sort of price to be paying (i mean in terms of market rate). does that in slud sorting any stone chips or anything?

just my opinion - but these vauxhall'd holdens really a car that could benefit from a bit of debadging.. once you've had a supercharger added you end up with 3 fonts..!
