Smartshine detailing And gtechniq - advice and reviews?

[Zippee]

Hi all,
I'm wanting to get my tvr fully detailed and paint protected following a full strip and colour change early 2015. Colour is now Toyota blackish red, a great colour that fires red metallic when the sun hits it.
Trouble is being a tvr and hence fibreglass the paint is naturally quite soft hence the gtechniq to try and give it a little chance to be harder.
Had a nice chap out yesterday for a quote called Harvey, from smartshine detailing in Bedford who quoted 750 to have the car 2 days. This will be a full snow foam wash, clay, full paint correction then 2 stage gtechniq finishing with the crystal serum on both the body and the wheels.

Firstly does this sound about right? Anyone used him before? He comes highly recommend by a friend and had done numerous high end supercars but I just want to make sure before handing over my own p&j. Any other thoughts on the products and or alternatives?

Thankyou for that. I swear he mentioned crystal serum yesterday but it could have been exo as looking on his website that's what he states - http://www.carvaletingbedford.com/

Thanks guys - Given the luck I've had with my car paintwork (Kev knows what I mean) I'm naturally a little cautious over who I use and spend my hard earned with. Not saying theres anything wrong with this company but I'm not as confident as I was a couple of days ago.

Kev - the chap you mention is based in Warwickshire - do you know if he still covers our area?

Thanks Paddy and point duly noted about recommendations.
Do you have any thoughts on my local (authorised Gtechniq) detailer Warman detailing – based in Rushden?
More than happy to give you a call otherwise but I’m pretty much at top budget so after some advice first and foremost.

Always glad to help. Give Andy a call and see what he can do for you or I'm happy to come to you or give you any advice you may need.

Thanks Paddy. Booked in this weekend with Andy and leaving it with him for a few days for a full paint correction and crystal serum application. My garage is way too dusty at present for this sort of thing hence I needed to take it rather than have it done mobile.
