Just had the nrs wheel bearing and ABS sensor done myself...looks like a common weak point on this platform.

ah right getting you now never heard of them classed as stages haha i just call it washing and decontaminating :') i only snow foam or APC too both do same thing (pre wash) save your products then haha! i might do the lower half of the car with APC in winter when its proper minging to give that extra bite
i know i'm same with pricing when mates ask me to do theirs, too many cowboys around that'll actually 'try' doing it for £40 though unfortunately

Sounds really good for pricing that mate!
I know what machine polishing is and before I ever take that route I'd like to get the car to where I want it to be first which will take some doing! XD
Say for the £60 treatment, what would you do? I'm really interested in having it done but obviously not just yet due to having a few things I need to sort out first so will be a while!

Yeah, I just listed snow foam & APC as options as I too use one or the other. I tend to do the wheel arches etc in winter with APC, plus the Valet pro citrus one smells nice lol.
I hate naming prices as people think its expensive but they dont realise it's more than just a wash and polish.
Nice one I'm located in New Marske.

For the £60 I would pre wash (snow foam or APC), wash (2 bucket method), Iron-x, clay, polish, wax or sealant then all the finishing touches like exhaust, tyres and trims & all windows. Also engine bay if required.

Cheers Craig, I'd love to but, it's getting the clients and would need a unit for winter etc to keep it going through the year. Might start advertising it again an see what happens
Nice work chap, shame you're so darn far away or I'd be tapping you up for some action
What's the difference between Snow Foam and APC?
That's a lot of work and your pictures speak a million words on how much effort is put in!
For me to have it done though it would be better if I was up at my family's in Manchester and travel to you over a weekend otherwise it's a 4 and half hour drive from where I live to Middlesbrough haha!
I'd say your work is definitely worth the travel though!

thats it! one product i got on to last winter and i found workedvery well diluted around 1:20 wa power maxed TFR through a pump sprayer! i usually associate this with the local turks £5 wash but been non caustic its very good and at that dilution LSP safe
exactly thats why i only do mates or people i know otherwise they look at me gone out when i tell them what it'll cost to be done proprly as i dont cut corners or do half a job
How much would you charge for swirl marks to be removed or depends how bad

All depends how bad really. VAG paint is quite hard so takes a bit of time.
Happy to have a look though.
that i do know
one stage on my ST it was nearly perfect on the FR it was about 70% better both been dreadful when i started them!PITA german paint

Difference between the two is foam is applied with a foam lance and can be left for around 5+minutes to dwell and do it's thing which is good as it gives you a little time to do some other bits and APC is applied using a pump sprayer (like a garden one) but I find you can't leave it as long as it dries quicker. Essentially they do the same job, but APC seem a bit better on the wheel arches etc, plus is smells nicer lol.

Yeah my old Gti-6 was a doddle compared to the Leon, but hopefully should be slightly quicker with a rotary, though I do prefer using the Porter cable.
Ahh, thanks for getting back to me on this, well I'd leave that up to you when the time comes if you're up for the job!
As I said though it will be a while before I take a trip that far north haha! As for what I did to my Leon, yesterday I replaced front and rear pads, and to say they was bad was an understatement. I had it off my brother and the MoT is due November, his brakes never came up as an advisory or anything, they should have been flagged as they was ridiculous!
I'll get some pictures up shortly to show how bad they really was haha!
Pictures!
Old Vs New Pad!
This is one little hidden nasty I found tooting around

What did you think of the new venue? I thought it was spot on, food was a bit pricey but you would expect that we just went to the Trafford Centre
Never been before but it was good and the venue was huge!
Yea food and drink are always stupid prices, went over to Five Guy's.. which probably cost more than the food there anyway.

Is there anything left on those old pads lol, shocking that they weren't flagged up!
Regarding the back box, my brothers did the same and the skin came off but has been fine.

I doubt they'll own up to it if they are....
