Ferrari F430 Leather Repair

Bolster wear is the most common problem with leather seats. Thankfully there is a repair option.

For this Ferrari F430, that involved stripping back the original leather coating, before masking the fine blue stitching and re-coating in a colour matched pigment, blending in to the surrounding area, before applying a protective top coat for a strong finish, as durable (or more so!) as the original colouring.

Prices start from £130. Do get in touch for more information or a no obligation quotation.

350Z Engine Bay Detail

350Z Engine Bay Detail

Engine bays need special attention, especially in modern cars with sensitive electronics. A clean engine bay not only enhances the overall appearance of a vehicle – useful prior to a sale – but also makes it easier to spot leaks and drips before they become problematic. 

Before

In the case of this Nissan 350Z, new to the owner, we used a combination of citrus and solvent degreasers and steam to safely remove built up dirt and grime deep in the engine bay, before removing residual moisture with a warm air blower, waxing painted surfaces and dressing plastic trim to enhance the finish.

Customised Brembo Calipers

We recently refurbished a set of calipers from an R33 Skyline, for a client with a specific colour scheme in mind. Unfortunately, the materials to complete such a project are not even available in the UK! We therefore imported the powder from our friends across the pond – a special effect two stage burnt metallic orange finish, which explodes into life when the sunlight hits it.

The calipers were stripped, and the parts to be replaced, including inner and outer Brembo seals, were sourced from the original part numbers - as a listing for these did not exist. After an acid bath to remove all grease and coatings from the calipers, the bores were protected and the surface blasted for a clean substrate. 

The powder was shot in two stages with a bake in between at 200c for full curing. We then rebuilt and pressure tested the calipers, before applying custom cut logo decals to finish.

Fiat 500 Cream Convertible Roof Clean

If you think your black or blue roof is in need of a clean, spare a thought for people with cream canvas roofs. 

This is the second Fiat roof in 12 months in this condition we have addressed, and it's not a job for the faint hearted. Whilst cleaning the algae and dirt from the roof is a fairly run of the mill job, this was compounded by a build up of black mould spots which would not move with chemical cleaning alone. Addressing the roof in sections, we managed to not only clean the mould spores from the fabric, but after a treatment with natural tea-tree, successfully killed all the mould causes in the fabric, leaving the roof clean, fresh, and back to its original cream colour.

Porsche Boxster S post-storage leather clean

This superb one-owner Porsche Boxster S was brought to us from nearby Tetbury, after being removed from winter storage to find the interior leather covered in mould spots – a problem often encountered in leather due to its organic nature - which the owner couldn't remove with conventional cleaning. In addition, the gear stick and handbrake were showing obvious signs of wear, and were in need of re-colouring after a previous attempt by the owner failed to yield satisfactory results.

Using our leather care experience borne from manufacturer training, we were able to remove all traces of mould from the leather, restoring its semi-matt finish before conditioning to protect against abrasion and UV damage, and allowing easier cleaning going forward!

The handbrake and gear stick are not simple to remove from these Boxsters, and so with reams of masking in place to protect the rest of the interior, the old colouring was removed where needed and colour was applied via airbrush, before sealing with a semi-matt topcoat to blend the finish.

Extremely happy customer and just as satisfying for us. 

Range Rover Sport - New Car Protection

This 2 month old 2015 Range Rover came to us from a client near Malmesbury, Wiltshire, for exterior Nano-ceramic sealant package and protection for the cream leather interior. 

As the car was already a few months out of the showroom, we first spent over 12 hours machine polishing the paintwork free of minor scratches and swirl marks picked up since collection.

The paintwork was then coated in a micro fine layer of the glass-like sealant to protect the perfected finish. The wheels were removed, deep cleaned and polished before being sealed and the glass treated with a hydrophobic sealant for enhanced visibility in wet conditions.

The interior leather was then cleaned and treated to a UV and abrasion resistant protectant, to extend its life and make it easy to maintain.

Furthermore, the client has now taken advantage of our scheduled maintenance package to keep his vehicle in top shape all year round.

Lexus I250 - Nano-Ceramic Protection and Headlight Restoration

 

This 2005 Lexus IS250 came to us from a customer in Tetbury for a light correction detail, Nano-ceramic paint seal for ease of maintenance, engine bay valeting and headlight restoration to remove yellowing from oxidisation and restore the lens clarity.

The paintwork was quite dull and, under lights, the bonnet and roof in particular showed signs of poor washing technique in the form of heavy scratching and swirl marks.

A multi stage machine polish over the space of 10 hours took care of these and gave a huge lift to the paintwork.

The 4 piece engine covers were removed for thorough cleaning and the rest of the engine bay steam cleaned and dressed back to perfection before refitting.

The headlights were then carefully wet sanded and machine polished clear of all degradation, and a coat of crystal lacquer applied to protect the finish.

Finally the 2 stage protective glass coat was applied to the paintwork and allowed to cure for 24 hours ready for the customer to collect.
