850CSi after paint detail

    It's certainly worth asking over on Detailing World (a great forum to hang out on too), last time I checked in the UK about detailing/correction etc I was told that it was getting difficult for detailers to do body work restoration style work as new legislation makes being a painter a bit trickier than it used to be. Still, that info might have been cobblers or out of date, I'd be interested to hear what's possible now.

    BB I have been on detailing forum etc, once I get an email back I will agree a date to assess the car at which point i will ask those questions.


    Thanks Lloyd - i'd be especially interested if you found they were able to do a one-stop-service that encompassed some minor treating of small problem areas/ touching up as well as paint correction detail.
    (hope that makes sense,...)


    Jason - like you I'm also interested to explore current options for those of us that don't want a respray, but do want the paintwork looking as absolutely pukka as possible.


    Rememebr the first time it arrived on a transporter to you...well next time it will be a covered transporter:poke:, and silk gloves will be a condition of you getting the job:laugh:

    Detailing World is a great forum, I found some excellent suppliers there, and learned how to use a rotary from tutorials posted there. Just make the point though, it is easy to become obsessive about detailing. Fact is, it is impossible to keep a car in showroom condition when it is driven, and over interest in detailing, can drive you insane with each new stonechip. I have been there, :roll:. A bit of time and elbow grease with a polisher will improve even the roughest car beyond recognition.

    Thanks Lloyd, I look forward to reading what you find.

    Sorry to hijack the thread but...

    I would also be grateful on thoughts on what I should do with regards to re-spray or detailing?

    At present my 8 requires the following external issues sorting out:

    Nose cone repair.
    Alloy refurb.
    Rust bubbles by sunroof.
    Rear screen not demisting properly (may need a new screen!)
    Swirl marks.
    Scratch to the base on drivers side, a few cm.

    What would be the best option in terms of either getting a re-spray or detailing? and what do members think is the most cost effective?

    I would also like to get the interior leather sorted but that is another story.
