Complete valet basically including seats cleaned/washed.

Bloke I work with left his car in recently, they did some paint touch up, repaired his cracked bumper and polished the exterior.

Seemed to be a decent job?

Obviously I can volunteer to do the exterior valet or detail whichever you arewanting done, and at what I consider to be very competitive rates !!!! However seat washing and chip repair etc is beyond what I can do at present ( teaching myself wet sanding over the winter months )

pm me if you want me to take a look / quote you..... Might be able to save you a couple of quid if you don't have to pay as much for the exterior treatment

in defence of Brocks he does have a reputation and puts time and effort into his detailing along with researching various methods to give the best results.
Shaun dont think you can go too wrong with Scott giving the paintwork a wee spruce up. lol only problem is he will probably show you his own car which is that silly common blue not like our more rare vehicles lol

So then, do you know of a "Well known" one then?

I've saw a car they've had mits on - to the naked eye it looked well.
Paintwork left like glass, very shiney and "wet" looking - it was a dark coloured AMG merc (blue/purple type colour)

They didn't do inside it though

Shaun the guys posted above are up your way,why not take a run over and have a look around for yourself.See what they have in and ask to have a look around finished cars to see how good a job they do,you'll know yourself how happy you'd be for them to do it.
Failing that give it a crack yourself mate,you'll be surprised what you can do with the right stuff.
Send Rich at Polished Bliss an email and the advice and products he will recommend will be spot on.

Ryan at Detailni...has a great reputation, as does R6THM on RMS...both I would recommend in a heartbeat.....

As for DIY...absolutely There is so much you can do to your own vehicle without exhorbitant expense either....however there is also a line that cannot be improved on when "hand polishing"...without the aid or assistance of either a DA or rotary...

It was after paying to have a local guy "detail" my car that I realised that no matter what products I used or £££ I spent that I could never achieve the results they did by hand and the only way to get those results was by machine polishing...and thus my interest in the valeting/detailing world began....

Dont know your car/colour at all matey but would be more than happy to look it over and recommend some products for you to use....without the expense of buying the wrong combination etc...also have quite a few products I can let you have samples of to experiment with if you want?

id have a go at it yourself mate get yourself some cleaning products and take the time to do it yourself good foam wash, then do some clay bar and polish it off with a machine polisher you will be left with glass finish and mirror reflection but takes time and good few hours but its worth it in end, use some autoglym or meguires products they are always good, followed off with some tyre slick, i use autoglym rubber cleaner in the drum and put it on with a soft brush gives a good shine on the tyres.
