I haven't been that active on here for a week or so as have been working non stop! Knakered!
3 days were spent with 1 client and his rather nice collection of cars.
First day: Audi Q7 S Line. Stage 2 Detail + Interior Valet. I knew I was in for a long day so persuaded the old man he wanted a day out of retirement to come and help me out 
Pics for this one are pretty limited as I was rushing around like a loon, and Dad was also busy helping out (realised afterwards that we got no photos of the interior at all) and no correction shots as a 2 stage machine polish on something this size doesn't allow for spare time!!
Before at 8.30am:




This was done last Friday so bit hazy on some product details, but here goes:
Pre Rinse - AS Hazsafe
Wheels, Tyres, Arches - AS Smart Wheels, AS G101, various brushes
Wash - TBM with grout sponge (far better than Zymol sponges!) and AS Duet
Clay - BH Regular and AS Reglaze as lube. AS Tardis to lower halves and wheels also.
Correction - Megs 84 with blob of 83 on Megs Burgandy Cutting Pad via new Milwaukee (Cheers John!)
Refinement - Dodo Lime Prime on 3M Black High Gloss pad via Rotary
Glaze - Poorboys Black Hole
Seal - Chemical Guys Jetseal 109
Wax - Collinite 476s then wiped over with AS Reglaze.
Glass - AS Glass Clear
Tyres - AS Finish (2 coats)
Wheels - Poorboys Wheel Sealant
Exhausts - Wire wool and Megs Metal Polish
Interior - Thorough hoover, mats wiped with G101 and dried with MF, Plastics with G101, Mats sealed with AS Silverseal, Leather cleaned with AS Leather cleaner, conditioned with Gliptone.
Afters at 5.45pm:





Parts 2 & 3 to follow!
Thanks for looking

is a corsa a 'small car'? £200 seems pretty good for what you get in the second stage

It is, yup. CS members get 10% discount too. You're a tad far away though 
£200 is pretty cheap compared to other companies out there, yeh
