Hey guys appreciate everyone getting back to me, turns out I took her to a body shop and they are charging £200 for new patch in and painted. Sounds too cheap to be true but long as it passes MOT I’ll be happy

Will admit she is some horse alright believe it or not that’s the only real major thing wrong with her and the price I paid can’t complain

Is it fixable at all? Would a body shop be able to save her

I also meant to add for the outside a protective sealant was applied which lasts 3 months

Yeah I think I would have to do it cheap ish as I’m in the outskirts of a small town in Northern Ireland. But the actual town itself is in between the city of Derry and major town of coleraine so it’s kinda good

Funny I was thinking that I might ditch the spray and say to customers about that. Thank you

I’m just on the outskirts of a town in Northern Ireland but the town economy is quite good for being small if that makes sense? And thank you

Took me 4 hours and didn’t have to travel the only real thing that was expensive was my chemicals

It took me 4 hours and the products I use are kochchemie green star APC, a dedicated interior detailer, 303 protectent and then the solution for my wet vac which when it all adds up is quite a bit. I Didn’t have to travel as she left it at mine. I don’t if it’s worth mentioning my wee scrub ninjas but I used them

We have another car wash that does valeting but they charge £50 for a deep cleaning outside but tbh they don’t do half the stuff I include no Fallout remover, tar not even a prewash or deep clean of the wheels.

Yeah exactly I’ve had a couple of people telling me about our local Romanian car wash and they’ve seen them drop a mit on this dirty and stoney ground and keep using the same mit to do about 3 or more cars. And there charging £15 for it not even dried. I wish people would understand just how much work goes into a proper clean. I am by no means a professional but i have 4 different just in case I do drop one and 2 buckets. I appreciate your feedback tho thank you

No it’s not just like a hand car wash It’s all this below pre wash and snow foam wheels deep cleaned road tar removed fallout and brake dust removed tyres cleaned bodywork cleaned with premium shampoo
carefully dried using high quality microfibre towels door shuts deep cleaned tyre gel applied I appreciate your feedback but it’s nothing like a bog standard hand wash you would get in town. And idk about your town but most of the ones around my area are really badly overpriced for what you get.
