Happy birthday fellow birthday mate :D

Thank you!! :)

And I am partial to Alfa's too, as you know ;)

Stoney Stanton mate, not far from Hinckley. I will construct a message for Kim, just off out for birthday dinner in a mo :D

:eek: Give him a big kiss from me Marie-Anne :tt2:, and wish him well. I hope it turns out to be something trivial and he's back on his feet in no time. Peach.

Looking very nice there mate, love the seats!! :thumbup:

Wish it was mine, but I did it for a fellow owner's club member (for a price, of course ;) ) and now he'll get all the credit for it as he's doing the Italian car show circuit with it!

Following on from my last thread about a 7 hour detail I did on an Alfa 155, a few of you seemed interested to see what I can do for you. Obviously, a tired old car with mouldy bits and fading paint is going to be radically transformed by a good session (see last thread!), but any car can definitely benefit from a little enhancement and protection. I have done detailing and valeting professionally and the price for a full day on one car, including machine polishing and removing parts/wheels, started at £250 and went upwards (quite a long way in some cases - you try doing all that to a Hummer!!! 3 days it took!). Now, I'm not saying I'd charge that sort of price for working on a Z, but for a full days work like I did on the Alfa I'd be looking at £150 (including materials). Obviously if you didn't need quite such an intensive job doing then we could work something out - bespoke detailing, if you will :). Plus, as I am not a 'mobile detailer' I would need you to bring the car to me, where you could leave me to it or get involved yourself to pick up some tips/knowledge. So, would anyone be genuinely interested in this sort of thing?

Thanks for the comments peeps :)

A friend recently got hold of a bit of a bargain (an Alfa 155 - my other car love) but it was in need of a little TLC. So, he dropped it off at my place a little while ago, and today I set to it. Due to the image limit on here, here is a link to the 155 owners forum with a full image write up - 7 hour Mega Detail!! Hope you like :D

Been detailing an Alfa right next to my SORN'd Z today, teasing me in the sunshine :(

I now swear by Chemical Guys products - check them out at http://www.chemicalguysuk.com , they have some detailing kits available. Their stuff is easy to use and gives great results. And to say that the paint will never be the same is not true -I've seen properly detailed paint looking better than when it came out of the factory ;)

That sounds like the bargain of the year! Well done fella :thumbup:

White on blue, FTW!! (that's what I want ;) )

I'm interested too :)

Simply awesome! Gotta be one of my all time favourite Z's :thumbup:

Could the HPi be holding their records in Km maybe, as it's an import? It doesn't convert exactly the same but it's a lot nearer. Just a thought.

How do!

Nice find mate :thumbup:

Don't do it! I loved cars and detailing and driving nice motors, so I got a job doing just that - and it completely killed my passion. The motor trade is a cutthroat industry and I swear I'm gonna steer clear of it from now on! I don't mind helping out now and again but as a sole income, forget it. The people that earn good money in the motor trade have been in it for years. IMHO :)

My god, it's like going back in time LOL! Next thing you know, Sgt. C will be buying Zelda back :D Welcome back to the family bud :)

Mmmmmmmmmm, that is seriously nice - well done you :thumbup:

Hi there, This site is more geared around the Z32 model, whereas the one you're looking at is a Z31. You might want to take a look over at zclub.net where they have a dedicated section for the Z31. Having said that, there will probably be someone along soon with some advice here anyway LOL! Good luck though, nice looking '31 :)
