A few reasons, but mainly because I didn't want Ian or anybody else on here to feel I was taking the piss with keep posting work on here (not that it was for advertising / promotion as such anyway) and because usually with a detailing thread follows a load of spam banter!

Just watched it and amazing work as always Rich!

The Astra estate looked like had been washed with a scouring pad!

The house with what looks like 3 double garages, 330ci, M5, Z1 and others WOW!

Lots of stunning cars, you have an awesome job although times like this I don't envy you having to work outside!

Your threads are missed, if Ian doesn't object you should pop a couple up every now and again!

Are these just standard Valets or the ones that are over a grand? You have done well getting so many customers to pay that money if it's the latter.

From what I can remember from previous threads rich is pretty fairly priced for the time and effort he puts in without it being ridiculous, pretty shit that the threads got spammed when he's been a helpful member of the site and answered plent of people's questions, including mine

A mixture of everything I offer tbh.

A large amount of that is protection, enhancement or correction details. The Bentley Arnage, BMW 850 CSi and Bentley Continental were major enhancement details - all of which took ~30 hours each. None of them came to £1k though.

I don't charge the sort of prices some other detailing companies do, but I still charge what plenty of people would whinge about! All I will say is try running a business and pay the overheads I do whilst charging prices you feel are "reasonable"!

Looking good! some good results there!

I wanted mine to have a correction detail, Theres a few marks id like to hide/make disappear but i'd probably undo the work after the first wash!

TVR Sagaris was my favourite car by far, awesome. Good work Rich, shame you don't post your work on here anymore but it's not hard to see what dicks ruined it for you.

Cheers!

We'll see this year then - I may post a few from time to time. I post everyday on FB / Twitter and regularly on DW if not though.

Video probably took ages to load as I linked straight to the HD version

I thought most the spam and arguments were caused by my threads

Rich, you should keep posting. It's always interesting to have a look.
