He sure did an amazing job, restoring that paint for me. Used James while I lived in the UK many times for various cars but more than once on the 780.

Rather expensive I would imagine ?

I'm hoping my new car will just need a good polish and seal by hand at this stage.

I would be very tempted to go there if I lived closer though.

Amazing work,I could look at that thread all day !

There are plenty of detailers doing it professionally in Scotland - If I were you and you want it done professionally talk to Gordon @ Defined Details . He is very well respected among the detailing community. He was one of the first to test coatings and knows a lot more than many! Also he used to work alongside Dave KG well known among people in regards to polishing etc.

Not that bad actually, but I know James for years so I guess that plays in too

He travels btw and do lots of various "levels". No harm in asking...

I think Glasgow might be a tad far for him.

Mind you he might know someone up here that is as good

Thanks anyway
