Need some advice... my car has been damaged in my flat's underground car park from a leaking roof. The water which has leaked has obviously got some minerals in it- limestone is my guess- and it's caused some quite hefty damage to the paint work. You can see from the photos before and after a wash that whatever has leaked on to it is not coming off. This damage is all over the car, despite the photos just being of the rear/side- that's just where the damage is worst.

After a pretty long and drawn out argument, the freeholder's management company have agreed to pay for the damage but I need to get some quotes for it for them. I'm not too sure whether the damage will come out with a full correction or whether it's going to need a re-spray and need to get some professional opinions on both.

So, to my question- can anyone recommend some good detailers and body workshops in South East London so I can get some quotes from them please?

Before wash...


After wash...

Nice one, I'll give them a shout- have you used them before?

Many moons ago, back when I had a 6n polo. But they've built many a car in the scene their work is amazing.

strange because just last night I saw a purple e93 in the sainsburys car park in sydenham first one ever... was it you?

As for the spots you could try a wetsand but that really does look like it needs a respray. That would most likely be alkaline in nature from the concrete...just like bird poo.

where abouts are you based in se london?

Is that the marks after the car has been washed? If so, it does look serious.

I would see a detailer before going to paint. You never know.

Nah, that's not mine- mine is Le Mans blue, although if it was another 335i with MV4s, then it does belong to my mate I suspect, can't be more than one in Sydenham!

I'm based in Sydenham too.

Excellent, I'll check that out, thanks.

I'm in West Byfleet if it helps.

In my opinion, respray is the last resort - alway best to maintain factory paint wherever possible.

Larry @ ammo's channel is awesome for detailing.
