Polo door repair in Leicester by ChipsAway (PDS) Ltd. With no room at the city centre business address Peter travelled to the home of the Customer to carry out the repair, arriving early to set up and get underway before they left for work. The repair was carried out by lunch time so the car was checked and the repair paid for before the Customer went back for the afternoon.

When NOT to polish your car!

When asked to look at a pool car for one of my regular City Centre Customers I was a shown a rather neglected Mazda6, not in itself unusual, most pool cars suffer this way. What the Customer wanted to show me was a series of “cloudy” areas on the bodywork that could not be cleaned off with usual products or at the local  Valet Centre, “is there anything you can do, please.”

After a close examination of a couple of areas I agreed to take on the job and do my best. With the wealth of products available to ChipsAway I was able to find a solution and a few hours later the car looked very much better and hopefully will be better looked after by the next user.

BUT – what was the cause of the damage? Well my best guess is that at some point the car was cleaned in bright sunlight and the person cleaning the car decided to apply large amounts of sun screen before starting. While working round the car, most of the damage was in areas that you would place your hand, forearm, while cleaning!

So, next time you want to clean your car, do it during the early morning or late evening when the sun is low in the sky when you do not need a sun screen.

 Ford Focus Door Shut in LE1. This was an unusual repair as most of the damage was inside the shut line of the drivers door. Caused by extended loading of goods into the back through the drivers door this car was about to be passed to another driver.

Peter was called in to paint the area, the expectation being that a coat of paint would improve the look and prevent the onset of rust where bare metal was showing through. Peter started by filling the dents and deep scratches, followed by primer. This provided a good base for the colour coat and the lacquer. The end result met Peters high standards and exceeded those of the Customer.

If you have an unusual paintwork issue with your car it may be that a call to Peter can provide a solution.
