Dieselman kindly put me on to Vince, a fellow Citroen XM owner, who does exterior detailing in his spare time via Pallas. He hails from Oldham so he came down for a weekend and did the Cosworth too. The XM had been long neglected while the Cosworth had been repainted just before I bought it.
These pics show the Cosworth before (the car is not really for sale now but it has just been featured in Mercedes Enthusiast and Classic and Sportscar). The paint is good but it was a bit flat and needed a seriously good polish, meanwhile I had done the interior and gliptoned the leather.
The colour is now absolutely glowing - it is quite extraordinary what extra depth of shine can be found. For those in the North West, Vince has my highest recommendation - he worked flat out, very skilfully and adores cars. Plus he is very reasonable! He is going to return to do my Citroen SM, which I know as a Citroen nut he would die to do.
