isn't there some place in London where you can rent a garage and tools, including ramps, lifts etc. Pit stop or something

Membership charge of £170 + vat per annum and £20 + vat per day so not really what I am looking for as this is a one off requirement for me.

Thanks for the input tho which is much appreciated indeed.

Dont foregt it will take days in a warm enviroment to dry the car properly to be able to wax it otherwise you will end up trapping water in.

Theres been a couple of posts on here regarding the pit start place and no one else has mentioned the annual fee and at £170 im sure it would be at the top of the list.

Just looked at the posted link at the rates section and it says £10 per hour every hour, tools available with a £100 deposit os leave your drivers licence.

If you do use someones ramp ensure you take plenty of old cardboard boxes to lay on the ramp/floor.. waxoyl drips everywhere...

Ideally id want to leave the car on the ramp overnight just for it to go off a little..

There's a membership fee?

Didn't realise - hrm.
