So it was a 2 Stage correction that was carried out. They first used Uppercut compound to sort out the bigger defects, eliminate all the swirls and cut away the factory haze. Then used rupees yellow pad with Half Cut compound to cool up the gloss and reflectivity. It was then finished with Suave Nanocoating.
This description was mostly taken off their Instagram post, the car went in on Sunday and was finished yesterday, company is called Absolute Valeting, they do all the products used and ship internationally https://www.absolutevaleting.co.uk/detailingproducts I’ve no connection other than being a customer on a work colleague recommendation to the company btw, suffice to say it is a stunning job that they’ve done Last edited by HeebieJeebies; 05-08-2024 at 02:42 AM.. |

Looks amazing! What did they use for the protection, was it the Suave Nanocoating? Is that a wax or ceramic?
As my G21 gets closer to 3 years I'm increasingly thinking about a pro detail. |

There detailing products are all I use now. OP - just wait until you wash the car, you will enjoy how the dirt just runs off the paint and the car is gleaming with very little effort 😎 Here’s mine: Last edited by Martyn86; 05-08-2024 at 04:52 PM.. |

Martyn86 Stevie was a delight to deal with, he gave great advice and he just put me at ease with it all.
Gonna give my G21 a treat there as well He gave me some of their snow foam and shampoo products away with me, I was honestly gobsmacked at the difference this level of detail makes to a car. I could swear it’s a different colour It also took 0.2secs off the 0-62 time |

Gave the G21 a good going over today with an upcoming trip with the dogs on the horizon, boy, she came up a treat, spent @ 2hrs fettling, waxing the glass (Mrs thought I was going to wax the windscreen ), cleaned the all weather mats, got rid of the rubbish, hoovered, snowfoamed, shampooed, tyre dressing etc, etc.
So with the pressure washer out and the M440 looking a bit dusty, I gave it a quick blast, wow! No foam, no shampoo, just a blast from the pressure washer, came up like a new pin, the hydrophobic qualities of the Suave Nanotech jungle juice really came into its own, hope it’s this easy ongoing....... |

I’m pretty sure this was a product that was included in the couple of freebies Stevie gave me. I’ve got a couple of 5L Ultimate snow foam product to use up but I’m keen to use their product first

Just make sure to keep up with maintenance on the coating by using sealants or “toppers” during your washes. This ensures the coating lasts the advertised life cycle, as well as performing a decontamination wash every so often.
