Detailer Needed N.London/Herts
Discussion
I know very little about detailing.
My little kit car is to appear at the Pistonheads show next month amongst the proper Supercars and stuff.
She's a bit tatty around the edges and I'd like to have her looking her very best when she's sat surrounded by cars costing upto twenty times what she's worth.
So, I'm looking for someone to do a proper paintwork clean on the car. I'm not interested on having the interior done as she's a stripped out racing machine.
Can anyone recommend me a company that can do a good job of bringing the paintwork up to scratch? The car was resprayed only two years ago and so isn't too shabby.
Although the car is garaged, the garage isn't big enough for anyone to clean the car so, that may be a problem this time of year.
Any suggestions will be gratefully received.
Thanks.

Having just looked at your profile I really would urge you to speak to Kelly - he also happens to have a background in old Lancias. I'll be at the show and will look out for your car, it looks bloody awesome!
Thanks Jay When it comes to cars not just lancias (even thou i started the love of cars while working on and driving lancias) anything from Italy does it for me
Paid good money for these dealership signs many years ago as seen in the reflection shots here , as it was something i had to have
And does not stop with 4 wheels either
very pleased with myself to have been walking around the piston head meet on monday at the barn and to see 6 cars recently detailed and restored by myself

Thanks.The further away you are, the better she looks.
Kelly. The photos are great. But, Gillingham is a bit too far away from me here in Barnet. I've been directed to somewhere closer. However, if that is not suitable, I may get in contact.
Thanks for posting your photos here.

Note to self - I must not arrange to met up with Kelly at another PH event. He keeps getting dragged away by people who want to talk him about their cars.
Nuff said, you can't go wrong.
I think my Beetle nearly gave Kelly a heart attack though

If Kelly Is too far we are bassed in Ware (the other side of Hertford) about a 20-30 min drive from Barnet.
Drop me an email at info@autofinesse.co.uk if its any interest to you.

FWIW I do North Kent to Barnet every week, and it takes less than an hour. If it comes to it I'd be happy to give a PH'er a lift.
Thank you for your kind offer, Jaykaybi.In all seriousness, your post is what PH is all about.
I'm fifteen minutes from Autofinesse as the Stratos replica flies. So, James B, YHM.
Hi Blib,
I have to second about kelly at kds keltec
Thats my bentley in the pics, and int he flesh it looks even better. The paintwork previous was shocking as well.
He has also just completed a thorough detail of my murcielago aas well. I wont let anybody else touch my cars.
I mean no dis-respect to other detailers, but for me its worth the journey (im about 50mins away from kelly).
Kelly is ontop of a train station, and its easy to get back to barnet.
Paul
ps - Kelly can yo post pics of the lambo detail when you have time as im so proud of what youve done

+1 I totally agree with Jaykaybi. I will be well worth the travelling, and like mentioned earlier, he is the master with Lancia's. Below is a link to pics of two of Kelly's Lancia's......
