Jaguar F-Pace Restoration

Range Rover Velar covered in hardened exterior paint: vandalism job for an insurance company. Paint in every gap, on the glass, under the trim. Solvents struggled to soften it. Cleaning, polishing, parts replaced (roof rails, mirror, badges, door handle), some panels resprayed at the body shop. Tom and Paul on it throughout. Came out spotless.

A Porsche 911 Carrera with wash marks from years of hand car washing. Four-stage machine polish, then Fireball Silla+ 5-year ceramic and Helios Shield on the nose for stone chip protection.

A Saab 9-3 restoration over several weeks: wheels refurbished, leather replaced and recoloured by Alan, headlights restored by Tom, dents removed by the dent man, four-stage polish by James, windscreen chip repaired, new plates and badge. Matrix Blue ceramic coating on paintwork, wheels and headlights. The owner is putting it up for TV work.

A 1985 Mercedes 280 TE estate: water leak repaired, now in for the bodywork. 125,000 miles of swirl marks, bird etch, and dull chrome. Four-stage machine polish followed by wax. The colour transformation at the end is dramatic.
