The G Man Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 My search for a valet service in South Lanarkshire was fruitless but thanks to the very kind nature of Sy1441, my car was fully valeted. He took the time and made the effort to bring my car back to pristine condition. Sy, members like you are a rare breed, my warmest thanks mate. It's people like Sy, that makes my and all the other lads and lasses risks and privations in Afghanistan and the likes, worth it and also to being a member of a great community like ours here. Sy, post away any pictures you want buddy and I'll see you soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sy1441 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) Thanks again for your kind words George. Was a pleasure working on your car and glad you are pleased with the result. It's what having a community on a forum is all about! My favourite picture is this one, shows Iron-X is worth the outlay!

Ebized Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 One thing lacking I can see it was not given a good 'airing' out on the roads to make sure the discs are nice and shiney Well I do each and every wash Test drive opportunity missed there Fun bit aside - full marks to Sy1441 for the work done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sy1441 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) If a jobs worth doing its worth doing right as the old saying goes! I usually use Iron-X to get the disks shiny if i'm not going to be driving the car but it takes a lot of product, only had half a bottle left and used it all on the bodywork, and as you said Ebized they clean themselves with some good braking lol! Went out to mine this morning and it had a coating of black dust circles on it, got a quick foam, wash, dry, hoover and spray with QD. Grey skies once again hide the shine!
