The Polishing Company
As part of trying to generate more traders to the show the company has been contacted with a view to them coming down to spruce up a few motors. With fuel costs as they are Mike is reluctant to travel a great distance for no return.
What he has offered members is….
A detailing for £175 (normally £300) IF we can get 2-3 cars booked in for the treatment over the weekend.
A deposit of £50.00 would be required to cover mike's fuel costs.
If the weather is poor then Mike will complete the cars at his place of work at a later date.

In addition to that, he will offer a 12% discount on all orders over £25 if ordered between now (26/2/11) and September 2011 from the website. www.thepolishingcompany.com
Mike has suggested that he could do 1 on Friday, 1 or 2 on Saturday and 1 on Sunday
If you are interested, please place a post on this thread AND contact mike directly YOURSELF at
mike@thepolishingcompany.com
If members don't support the offers of discount and attendance by traders then they won't be tempted to return in later years.
Thanks for reading,
Dan

I did wonder about a gazebo but at present I'm stuck with the info from an email.

The full detail will include a full machine polish to remove swirls and light scratches (not through clear coat). After this the bodywork will be cleansed and a coat of Dodo Juice Supernatural wax applied. All exterior trim, wheels etc will be cleaned (water permitting) and interior will be cleaned although most of you won't need much, hopefully, so this will consist of a leather clean and treat and trim treat with 303 protectant
On older cars that have solid colour paint I can also offer a GLARE® professional polish finish which helps maintain UV protection and is easy care this requires two additional passes with polish so will be an extra £50 however this is a very good paint protection finish which can last up to 5 years and you can always put your own wax on top if you wish. As the product helps prevent oxidation it is particularly effective on older cars with no clear coat finish especially red and white cars
The whole job takes between 4-6 hours hence only one car per day can be done unless it's a really nice sunny evening and two smaller details could be done. I will also be on hand to demonstrate detailing techniques and do some "spot repair" for anyone with annoying little scuffs or blemishes they cant remove by hand
My only request is that the cars do arrive washed and ready to polish as I do not have the equipment to wash cars at a show. I can however dry wash a vehicle with 'transit dirt' from travelling to the show
I do have a small gazebo if it rains a little but if the weather is really inclement and windy I cant use this so it does limit what can be done. This is normally used to cover the display stand for products which will also be available on the day.
If anyone has any other queries please get in touch by email or pm.
Regards Mike

a few years back Me and Dad polished his fiat, with this result:
although that's about 9 hours' work, and a orbital/rotary polisher will do it in half the time 8)

AGM Detailing Offer
As for the last post - the results look great and you are quite right…… however the idea of the offer is to give people to option to have there car prepared so they can then look after it without a load of effort. The results are all in the preparation not necessarily down to the products
look forward to meeting some of you at the AGM….. for those who don't need or cant afford a full polish but may have minor scuffs and scratches that need a little attention then I am sure there will be time over the weekend to rectify these at my "Detailing Clinic" I am hoping that the organisers will be able to site me somewhere that can be accessed easily as I know that good old H&S are getting a bit iffy about having cars moving about amongst people. If anyone has any particular queries please post or email me - Mike

I totally agree - and by no means was I trying to put people off your service - because that result was two people who own a bucket and a pot of wax.. whereas (I assume) you have all the proper kit - polishers, clay, mitts, cloths, towels etc so I wait patiently to see more results like those above, and my results needed topping up every three weeks or so, but my Dad had his Fiat Coupé done professionally 10 months ago and is just starting to wear thin 8O well worth it!!!

Mike needs at least two confirmed bookings to make it worth the while for him to travel.
See above for his workmanship.
Any questions, please contact him.
Ta, Dan
(Remember - you ask for more traders each year and some of you complain when they don't come. Use them or lose them, its as simple as that! :wink: )
