I don't know if this is perhaps the correct place to post this, but I thought I'd post up some pics to show members what's possible with my SSR System.

Here we have a Silver Toyota Yaris that's argued with a car park bollard. It's worth noting that silver is probably the most difficult colour to repair successfully:

Image

Once the damaged area has been cleaned it looked like this. Note the vertical cracks in the paint where the bumper deformed: when I saw this I decided to do the job by hand, rather than use a machine to buff off the SSR paint.

Image

SSR Paint applied by hand and pushed in to the scratches. The paint is specially formulated to dry in under 4 minutes, In very warm conditions it is ready to buff with the SSR polish in under a minute.

Image

Up to 4 coats of SSR paint can be applied / buffed and this is the end result. A very acceptable repair in under an hour and at a fraction of the cost of re-spraying the bumper.

Image

And a couple of the complete car:

Yes, the system can work with virtually all factory colours. On the rare occasions that the paint is a strange shade (for example the nail varnish pearlised pink that Honda used on the Jazz) then I may have to get SSR to mix it for me which incurs extra cost.

Most times I can get an acceptable result with the 200+ shades I carry with me, even the metallic orange of my Proton Gen-2 wasn't a problem.

Is he not in the Midlands yet?

You need to open a branch in the Midlands. A few jobs on both cars, including a lovely bumper scratch just like that one (came with the car!)

The repair on the Yaris was done as part of a "complete walk round" on the car. The bumper corner on its own would be around £60. Individual scratch repairs can be carried out from £35.

As for opening up in the Midlands guys - I've still got to suss the west of Scotland; but feel free to pop in if you're on holiday. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I agree with above, You need to expand to the Midlands, I got two Bumpers for you and a Roof scratch, Cat's left a nice mark or two on my Bootlid, another Cat mark on the Bonnet......... :evil: :lol:

It is very impressive what you can do there.
Upgrades:

Fitted Electric Memory Seat, Leather Cubby Lid, Wood Dash, Message Centre.

Forget the midlands - expand into the North of England.

My whole car could do with some of your magic. Well except the bonnet, which is beyond repair.

Forgive the shameless self-promotion but, after 7 months of trading with a temporary website, I have finally finished my new shiny site.

There is a permanent offer available to members of Owner's Clubs and forums that I have an interest in.

So come along to http://www.scratch2shine.co.uk and let me know what you think.
