Thanks!

There was some paint correction with a 2-stage machine polish. As well as removing the abudence of swirl-marks the previous owner had left me, they also remove a few light scratches near the door handles, etc.

Excellent, that's great value also for £300 from a pro detailer

The last photo has indeed been touched up; the other ones were taken on an iPhone and just used the "autofix" button within Photos.

And yes, I was disappointed about the chin spoiler! Apparently this was one of the tradeoffs of my tight turnaround request... maybe next time! Though it does seem to scratch very easily :(
I detail, so I spot anything and have eyes like a sh$tehawk!

These can be rejuvenated really easy, and here's a tip; Get hold of a foam sanding block, medium grit. Lay on your back at the front and run it along the edge of the spoiler to remove any dings. Follow this with a fine grit foam block and then nourish with some almond oil.
Or....leave it with me...I take a minimum of three days on my clients cars and charge by the hour!
Thanks for the tip! So no compounding needed on the spoiler? I'm guessing it's a solid plastic colour all the way through then?
Where are you based? I may well take you up on that in the future!
Yes, it's the same colour all the way through.
I'm down South in Dorset, great place for a break in the sunshine...well, maybe not today!
