It's a minefield knowing who to trust. I've let local man-with-a-van detailers look after less expensive metal in the past but I have a 458 and 355 in need of some special pampering.

Any recommendations in the berks/bucks area?

Unique Detail near Dunstable, Beds, have a good rep among the London and Home Counties crowd on Detailing World. And they do Siramik, which is arguably the glossiest ceramic coating right now. It's around £500-1500 to get a proper detail in most places.

Richard Tipper of Perfection Valet. Used by the likes of Harry Metcalfe et al. I wouldn't use anyone else.

Basingstoke car detailing centre. He is based at J5 M3 but he is mobile too and very good.

Also used by TurboTerrific9 on here to detail His McLaren F1, 250 SWB among others.

Rich is a great guy, so good at what he does and a lovely chap to boot.

I am more than happy to give you a quote. I spend my days detailing supercars and travel the country doing so. I am also Gtechinq authorised. While i have detailed Many F40's, Enzo's, 458's etc, i would say that Dave has more experience than most people out there with Ferrari.

I also use Rich at Perfection - his attention to detail, quality of work, advice, etc is simply spot on or as his company name suggests, Perfection

He is also a knowledgeable huge petrolhead - he loves trackdays and has even been involved driving some of the cars on the major magazine car of the year type awards

I've never personally used Paddy who posted above but a lot of people on the PH Aston forum regularly speak very highly of him and I've only heard good things

Oop North where I am, Chris Griffiths is also great but as I had a relationship with Rich long before I met Chris, I tend to use Rich for the major once/twice a year detail and then Chris for occasional intermediate stuff - Rich will happily travel quite literally anywhere, but there doesn't seem much point me paying him for what is a very long full day including travelling to come to Cheshire unless it is a major detail. But Chris does major detailing work and again, he is fastidious

The common link with all three I guess is that they either do the work themselves or in some instances, occasionally, employ one person to work with them on the same car. I'd personally be very wary the moment more staff are involved as what you are really buying is that individual's time, know how, reputation, attention, etc

I have only ever used Topaz - and they are brilliant. Not the cheapest - but the quality of the work is exceptional.

I will give Magix a go though - based in Southend on Sea - and have done a few friends cars - who were as happy as I am with Topaz. So definately worth a look.....

I agree. They've just applied protective film to my TDF. I protected the entire car. They did a brilliant job.

Everything else I do myself.

Just to bring some closure, Richard worked on my 458 Speciale and 355 Berlinetta yesterday. Nice guy, really into cars and a job very well done. He's posted some pics on Twitter.
