We've had our van, Ducato based, for 16 years, purchased new. After nearly 90k miles she was looking a bit sad, especially as the paint was beginning to peel off the A pillars and front wings. After a full service, two repairs and an MOT (passed with one advisory) I bit the bullet and arranged to have the cab re-sprayed. Got the van back at the weekend and took her in to Autovalet Express for a wash and polish. Home today and four new wheel trims fitted. Not looking as new but certainly not 16 years old. Well pleased with the result.

The way the weather is this morning you're getting a free rinse as well!

I like it.
Ours is now 17 years old a similarly showing it. It's currently at the tail end of a makover with a firm in Yate called 'Crystal Clear'.
They let me inside their workshow for a week to start and I was able to remove, clean and re-seal all the windows and Heki. This was followed by a full polish, de-oxidisation and ceramic treatment and last were having some areas wrapped.
I collect it next week. It's not cheap but I'm hoping will once more look like the much loved vehicle it is.
When you get so much value from these it makes sense to look after them inside and out.
