The E46, it's a manual 325 (although currently it's slightly broken:o).

I had my Range Rover in for a few days to get detailed and an interior and engine bay cleanup. Did excellent work and looks like new.

Did you get this done in Skerries? Just saw pictures of this go up on this companys Facebook page if i'm not mistaken? My Civic is going into him tomorrow to get an interior valet and a detar, wash and wax of the exterior

Unbelievable selection of cars on show at every Limerick C&C - far better than Dublin.

Mostly down to JP McManus though?

It’s his brother that’s the car collector.

There are often some very special cars there alright. I missed last Sunday and my dream car was there. A guy called Stavros does a video on most C&Cs Limerick. He had a few pics on his Instagram below

Done a exterior detail this week including a coat of wax which gave a fantastic shine plus no swirls or scratches!

He probably has an address in UK. That Porsche is a 608bhp 4.6 litre hybrid/electric with only 76g/co2 making it exempt from UK tax and 120 euro here.

It only has 370 miles as of last April so presumably it's trailered everywhere. Still taxed though but showing as not insured on the UK insurance database. Perhaps it's under a group insurance scheme.

Bring back pop ups!

That gives me so much joy.

Always as a kid admired those pop ups.....

James Bond Junior

Pop up lights and the hubcaps that looked like they were going backwards when driving.

It's like the wipers are as happy as us to see a pop up light!

Probably the most pointless clean I’ll ever give it, surely be dirty again by the time I drive it home. Stupid weather.

One year in my possession, got her tax for her birthday and an NCT cert. Any one thinking of a ceramic coating...this car has not been washed in 4 weeks, it simply does not get dirty despite being driven on mucky roads, ceramic coating are the business.

^what a car!

Roughly how much does ceramic coating cost? I’m sick of giving deep cleans twice a week. It would be great to give just a blast of the powerhose.

700-1000 typically for the basics, a lot depends on the amount of correction the paint needs prior to coating.

When I had mine done the car was gone 3 days getting a full correction, thats the work of the job, applying the coating to contaminated or scratched paint does nothing.

As for cost about a grand, but I had the works done, mine was done by a place no longer doing detailing so cannot recommend somebody else.

Certainly cleaning is fairly easy, and almost a no touch proceedure, the wheel need a bit more attention but I am trying my best to touch the paint as little as possible.

The finish is quite matt, so you gloss hounds are better with a wax, but as a daily I would certainly have it done again. Seriously the car has been fairly clean all the time, its sort of self cleaning.

I didn’t realize it was such a big job! In my own head I was thinking it would have been around 3/400 until you said it was a three day job. Won’t be getting it done this side of Christmas anyway! I can’t get to wax my one recently with the weather and my lack of access to a shed. Even when it’s clean it’s not “clean”. Shame.

I got a ceramic coating put on my car about 17 months ago. The car still looks the part and the paintwork still beads when it rains. All it needs is a wash and the shine comes back. The only downside is the bonnet has a few chips on it, I wasn't expecting that but otherwise it still looks an awful lot fresher than any 15 year old car should look. Eventually it's gonna need to be topped up or re-coated or something but for now it's still doing the job just fine to my eyes at least.

I got mine done in the UK and it cost £500 (sterling), took them about three days to do it.
