Used search, he doesn't like he's on the scene anymore. Do like the sound of the products he uses though.

Other suggestions??

Mark did offer to do my car a few years back ~ £175 (cash ) then.

A mate at work here has a friend who does car valeting in St Annes - Jason somebody - I'll check the details when he's out of his meeting...

I think your best bet is to buy a Swissol starter kit & do it yourself
It is a little time cunsuming but not hard work & then you always have the rest of the kit to use for the remainder of the year !
The full treatment will take you approx 3 hrs but then weekly washes should only take 20 mins with the monthly wash & wax taking an hour !
The prices of the kit will be around that of a professional Valet & you have the nice feeling that it was your own hard work !
your car will also have that show room look week after week !

OK...

Lazy mans way out...

J & M Autoclean on Allenby Rd (backs onto railway off St Particks Rd I think - Blackpool side of town centre, inland side of railway line)

Please note this is not a personal recomendation - I have never used the guy, but he does my mates car reasonably often AFAIK.

Cheers

Mick
