Visit to CLASS
12 November 2024
Eighteen members and friends from Area 22 and beyond paid a visit to CLASS near Gloucester. CLASS (Car and Luxury Auto Specialist Services) is owned by Paul Mount, an Area 22 member, who is supported by three colleagues in the business. After very welcome coffee and biscuits (thank you to Pauls’ wife) we settled down to business. Paul sums up the business as “a Cotswold based Classic and Luxury car facility operated by car enthusiast for car enthusiasts”. They offer car detailing, ceramic coating, vinyl wrapping and car storage.
Following a history of the company, Paul talked about car storage highlighting the fact that his premises remain naturally at a favourable temperature and humidity for the purpose. There are a range of services available from simply leaving it there to having it exercised on a regular basis. There are still some spaces available at competitive rates!
Lewis went on to give us a talk on detailing, starting simply with how to wash your car. It sounds common sense but do we all do it correctly?
Don talked about the value of PPF and the differences between that and vinyl wrapping. He explained the process and gave demonstrations making it look “easy”. I know from personal experience this is not true having had to abandon an attempt to apply PPF to my Caterham several years ago! Leave it to the experts.
Time passed quickly and it was soon time to retire to The Lock Keepers for an enjoyable lunch. Thanks go to Paul and his Team for a really enjoyable morning.
