Have to say i'm delighted with the results. It got cleaned, de-tarred, clay barred, aqua wax, do do juice added, cleancar.ie are on our discount list and they gave me a very generous discount. The wheels were also de tarred.. Have to say this is the cleanest and best my car has ever been, hope you agree :) ;)

Impressive shine Bawnee! It must have taken them quite some time to get it looking so great. Usually takes me a good half day with all the bits and bobs involved in an occasional detail. Then it flipping rains or some seagull takes a fancy to it :(

Beautiful job.

To roof rack or no? Inflatable or metal?! I'm off looking at Kayak tomorrow & it won't fit inside the car!
