Make sure to tell them about the non-factory paint from the repair work, they might burn through it if it was done by some back street garage.

Did you get any close up pictures of the defects etc prior to having it washed? Just it always looks good so might be hard to tell the difference.

True yeah pretty obvious.

I only had the outside done today. It looks really really good. Bit too dark for photos now sadly.

Another pic my mate sent me. Will get some of my own tomorrow. Awesome shine on it. Says there was 3 products used in making it shine like that. Never heard of any of them.
