Hello all,

I'm curious as to the cost of getting my Cerbera professionally detailed. It's having some major work done at the moment and when I get it back I think I might like to get the paintwork looking its best.

Can you chaps recommend anyone in the Cheltenham/Gloucestershire area?

Also, how long does the shine last? Ie one spot of rain and it's back to square one or is it more a case of being much easier to clean each time?

Cheers,

Duke

It does depend upon which company you use and what chemicals / waxes they use. A really high end company like Park Ferme may well charge you a couple of hundred pounds, but the wax will last depending upon the weather and your driving four or five months.

Usually the cost is around £200 or so and have a look on detailingworld.co.uk for a better guide to who offers what.

Amazon had hers done by a VERY reputable chap, and she just quoted £350 on the other thread...

I would expect around £250-300, possibly more if you go the Zymol/Swissvax route and depending if you want paint correction/defect removal.

As bellair said have a look on DW as there is a specific forum(s) showing results so you'll soon get a good feel for who offer what.

I've frequently heard good things about Elite Detailing and Cambridge Autogleam but I've no idea how the distance thing would work.
