Audi S3 Sportback Quattro – New Car Protection Plus

There’s something very cool about a hot hatch car. Practically, versatility and power are a potent mix, and unless you’re a true petrolhead, you’ll simply think this is just another hatchback. Those in the know will realise that the little S (or RS) before the model number on Audi’s, plus the quad exhausts, denote that […]

Time Warp Mazda RX-7 – Gloss Enhancement Treatment

The Mazda RX-7 is a true Japanese icon of a two-seater (and later 2+2 seating) sports car. Many car enthusiasts will be familiar with the third generation RX-7 from its spotlight placement in the original Fast and Furious movie, but its heritage goes way back before that, with the first generation model driving onto the […]

BMW 640d M-Sport Cabriolet – New Car Protection

The BMW 640d M-Sport is a force to be reckoned with. Traditionally, GT (Grand Tourer) cars were sold with large cc petrol engines, and you’d have to literally plan your way from one petrol station to the other, should you want a cross-continent blast. The 640d M-Sport changes that, by providing the speed, punching power […]

Fast Ford Magazine Test The Rupes BigFoot LHR 15ES

Dan gives the big estate a good going over with clay, followed by a machine polish. For a relatively new car the paintwork on my car is, quite frankly, shocking. It was a lease car in its former life, and I get the impression the previous owner took great delight in washing it with gravel […]

BMW E30 325i Cabriolet – Swissvax Gloss Enhancement

One of our customers is an avid enthusiast of the BMW 325i series and loves to see them brought back to a high standard. The latest one he found himself in possession of was in desperate need of some TLC, and the desirable colour combination of Diamond Schwarz Metallic with black leather interior really lent […]

BMW M5 V8 Competition Package – New Car Protection

The BMW M5 is a remarkable ‘super saloon’ and the latest version, the V8 Competition Package is nothing short of awe-inspiring. Boasting 575bhp and a 0-62pmh time of 4.2 seconds, this outwardly ‘normal’ saloon style car would beat a 997 Carrera S off the line – impressive, considering it’s nearly 25% heavier! BMW describe it […]

Audi Q3 TDi Quattro – Nanolex New Car Protection

Protecting your new car from the beginning is an important factor in maintaining the potential resale value of your investment. A good nanotechnology sealant will help protect from swirls, scratches and UV fading as well improving the overall gloss appearance. An Audi Q3 TDi Quattro in Daytona Grey, a pearlescent dark silver, arrived at the Ultimate […]

Porsche 911 (996) Carrera 4 – Gloss Enhancement Treatment

The Polar Silver paintwork on this early 996 was in remarkably good condition considering it has covered 93,000 miles and gets used on a regular basis (not hidden in the garage!) It has all original paint too – the paint depth readings showed a fairly uniform thickness of paint over each panel, indicating the paintwork […]

VW Touareg V6 Altitude TDi – Gloss Enhancement Treatment

The bigger the car, the more bodywork there is to show up any swirls and scratches. This ‘nearly new’ VW Touareg V6 Altitude with Deep Black Pearl paint had plenty of metallic flake which, despite the vehicle only covering 6000 miles was already showing signs of surface damage. The owner booked the Touareg into the […]
