jackso11 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 My bonnet looks like it has water mark spots all over it, they were there when I bought it and have since washed it a few times, polished it a few times and Black T-Cut it this weekend but can't get rid of them. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonT Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Just out of interest, how much does a professional detail cost on a car like the Supra or is it just a set price for cars?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 Good question. I would make a guess at £100, but no idea where to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonT Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 If thats the case then i would save the money your going to spend on the bits etc and get it done professionally!! But i thought they would be more expensive to do??!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 It all depends on what you want doing, full correction will cost a fair bit more than £100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter richards Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 chances are if you do get it painted it will need machining properly after some guy with a mop and G3 hits it for all of five minutes . supra size if i dont have to travel would be from £200, depending on the severity of the swirls and scratches and thats at least a two day job. to give you some idea of the work involved.

SimonT Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Anybody in the south east do this type of work?? Sounds quite a reasonable price bracket considering the work involved!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 prices do vary considerably depending on the area , couple of my detailing mates in and around london wouldnt get out of bed for less than £400, but maybe that reflects the area and wealthy people .
