As a detailer please believe... We are only human. The hardest part of our job is sharing the news that the "bit of tlc and buff" that the customer believes / hopes will remove marks will in truth stretch the limits of the paint thickness to work with...

Simply stunning car tho!!

But this year (well, strictly, last year), in our far more modest (and sensible) retirement home, we bought ba 6 foot tree which fitted fine. But we still travelled a good distance to find a ‘Scottish Larch Pole Pine’ that SWHTBO insists on!
