Not only are you guys getting treated to some pictures of a nice Vauxhall (possibly a first from me), here we have a new LSP that Polished Bliss are working on.
Its going to be their first own-branded product.
Its so top secret, I only just found out about it now 
The product was passed on to another professional detailer so they could give PB some unbiased reviews and feedback, and he was happy to say the least.
Here are some pictures.
Car before...
During the wash...
The general condition of the paintwork before...
Now for the finished article after Top Secret Project Awesome was applied...

According to the detailer,
"This was applied with G220 DA at speed 4 using a lake country finishing pad. Applied to car and worked until nearly disappeared and then left for 1hr and the residue wiped off."
The full write-up along with more info and pictures can be found here...

Results do look very impressive - was reading this yesterday. Have to say I'm not convinced that the after photos haven't been tinkered with in PS just slightly though as they really do look very HDR.

Thats a major compliment.
I guess it just goes to show what can be achieved with a good detailer and the correct product.
Its the strong light that makes the difference.
Just look at this audi my brother did a while back...
I know for a fact that those pics haven't been tinkered with in photoshop. They came like that straight off the camera.
My brother wouldn't have a clue how to do anything like that in photoshop anyway.

Why are none of these detailers near to me!!!!!
I've money burning a hole for a full correction detail.
I'd happily let Rich H or Blukoo's bro loose on my Vixxer.

The company who worked on the VXR8 was http://www.theultimateshine.com/ and i've got no idea what they charge.
For an idea of what Polished Bliss would charge, check out the website and thier price guide...

Yeh I remember seeing Clarks write up on that Audi - I guess it's down to the camera used and as you say, lighting too - in real life I'm sure it'd look uber impressive but not quite as the photo's show!
Really look forward to seeing / hearing more of PB's own label products

One detailer that my brother highly recommends is Matt from http://www.offyourmarks.com/
I think he's based in Cheshire.
