I've been detailing the C70 and have always wanted to book the car into polishedbliss to get somthing done to it, so its booked in to get this zymol wax put on. The first available booking was the 8th of April so I guess It won't be taxed till then, at least it will be into warmer months by then. Can't wait :mischievo
is that because this is one of the really expensive zymol waxes? Royal glaze or what ever it is called?
[quote=Wobbly Dave;282995]is that because this is one of the really expensive zymol waxes? Royal glaze or what ever it is called?[/quote] Yeah it's the 2 grand vintage one.
are they doing any paint correction first or are you just getting the wax on?
[quote=Wobbly Dave;283033]are they doing any paint correction first or are you just getting the wax on?[/quote] No I'm doing all the correction work myself just now and I wont drive the car until its done, they have told me I can use my wax on it just now as it wont affect there product. I couldnt afford to have them do a full correction and dont really need them to but it would be nice if I could. This is costing £195 plus VAT and all they do is wash the car and apply the wax.
Awesome. simply awesome - can't wait to see the result.
[quote=Wobbly Dave;283043]Awesome. simply awesome - can't wait to see the result.[/quote] Thanks Dave either can I, then I can finnaly start to enjoy the car and actualy DRIVE it for once can't wait.
I went into polished bliss yesterday and they were just away to start on a black Bentley, It was gleaming and at a glance the word wow springs to mind, Clark was taking pictures of it and he was using his special light that shows the blemishes in the paint, it was full of swirls, no more than any other car though. it was getting the full shebang done and was costing up words of £3500 who said money doesn't grow on trees, I need to plant one. The C70 had a mark on the bumper before i picked it up so they painted it but there is a blemish so there going to work there magic on the front bumper :)
excuse my ingnorince but what will this do to your paint work
[quote=t5 pete;287090]excuse my ingnorince but what will this do to your paint work[/quote] Look on there site it shows you all there, they basicly take ALL the flaws out of your paint even brand new cars are full of them.
that sounds good then what do yuo use to polish your car i just use auto glym super resin and then gloss protection is there any thing else better that then for price wise
Correct me if i'm wrong but are you saying you purchased the car last year but won't be driving it until April this year?
Here's a vid if your intrested http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/detailing-services-ne-plus-ultra.html. I get 99% of my stuff and advice from them, I use the menzera range for polish as Volvo paint is hard and softer polishes wont do anything (if your using the polish for its purpose), for now I use an entry level Zymol wax "carbon" but I use the "volvo" version its basicly the same and the price is the same.
[quote=MIKESC70T5;287113]Correct me if i'm wrong but are you saying you purchased the car last year but won't be driving it until April this year?[/quote] No your correct.

Took me ages to find a decent combo for Volvo top coat.
[quote=volvokid;287115]No your correct.[/quote] Please don't take offence but can i ask,:redface: whats the point in spending 40 grand on a beautiful car to not use it for 5 months and then your lovely v70 sitting in a showroom also not being used.
I am thinking about getting a rotary - do you think it will give better results than the Porter Cable?

I want to keep the C70 as good as I can and dont want to wreck it in the winter so 6 months tax will suit my needs for it. I drive my V40 all the time, it gets a wash from time to time :) this is my first year of proper snow in the V40 and I would be gutted to drive the C70 in it the V40's front bumper has already been scuffed I guess due to snow, no one owned up typical, I can see a few little chips on the windscreen nothing that would need attended too but this has been caused by gritters and people over taking me and cutting in too early so god knows how the front is for stone chips there was not one before the winter so we will see. Once I have a serious relationship and family I may feel differently towards my hobbie but I'm young just now so what the heck.....
[quote=Wobbly Dave;287127]I am thinking about getting a rotary - do you think it will give better results than the Porter Cable?[/quote] Dam rite it will Dave, I want to get one but thats for the future I dont need it yet. I would just recomend you buy a paint thickness guage as it will strip back the paint a lot faster. Get a scrap panel from some were and practice on that.
like to take mine to them but a bit too far
[quote=abdul;287145]like to take mine to them but a bit too far[/quote] If you can afford there prices I'm sure the distance shouldnt bother you lol they get cars from all over the UK. Rich who owns it told me he wouldnt pay there prices. I'd have to be earning a hell of a lot more before I could get there top detail, thats why i'm learing as much as I can even thought its not to there standard.
any company closer to manchester who do this work
There are probably a few but I dont think there are a lot that go to the extent they would do, I'll have a quick look just now.
heres one http://www.finerdetails.co.uk/
thanks for the link going to contact them
[quote=abdul;287163]thanks for the link going to contact them[/quote] No probs let me know how you get on.
I kinda like just doing the washing and polishing myself - gets you outside for an hour or two on a nice day and still looks great if you take care. As my dad says (and the guy drives a Skoda VRS) "It's just a volvo!" Products on the website look good.
[quote=volvokid;287165]No probs let me know how you get on.[/quote] will do

I find i've started to get an eye for detailing and I can spot a non detailed one a mile off. ha its just a Volvo to most people but I would choose Volvo over any brand lol
