Hi all

I bought a 6 year old 997 from a dealer, and while the car is fine, the paintwork is swirly and marred.

I'd like to get it professionally sorted out so it looks its best, plus a general all round proper detailing.

Can anybody recommend a good detailer in the South East (I'm in Surrey but near Hampshire/Berkshire too)?

Thanks!

Actually I have a funny feeling I know Stefan1 from a different car club, and Miracle are definitely on my list of people to contact, I had just temporarily forgotten about them !

Hi all, I finally got this sorted - thanks for all the recommendations smile

I went with Miracle Detail in the end - really chuffed with the results! I don't have the full set of before/after shots yet, but you can take it from me the paintwork was awful - really swirled to the point it was stripy in sunlight with all the hologramming. Plus a few other bits and bobs like badly scuffed sills and gear knob (previous owner).

Now it's like a mirror and it is a different colour - much bluer and sparklier than it was before smilesmile

Couple of gratuitous shots smile

Cool video too - really shows how bad the paintwork was to start with, which the static cameras don't really show:

It was ok, bearing in mind it's 2 days work.. and worth every penny! (and you'll get a discount if you mention my name smile )

The colour is stunning now - much bluer and glitterier than before !
