As the title says.

I'm after a rough guide to how much it actually costs for a professional to do.

Should i be thinking £500 - £1000, or more?

thanks

Was looking yesterday and Lucas Detailers of Liverpool do a "paint restoration" for between £150 and £250. http://www.lucasdetailers.co.uk/services.html

Other than that with the use of premium brand materials the sky is the limit for detailing really I think.

Decent work is £200 - £400 a day. It depends on what you want done, what the car is and then how often.

£500 should get you a bloody decent two day detail IMO...

www.detailingworld.com all you need to know.

Cheers,

Depends on what you want and what size the car is.
I'd say the post above mine is pretty spot on for day rates.

As per your other thread Diablo, you could kill two birds with one stone by opting to have the wheels refurb'd by Lepsons, and detailed across the way from them by KDS - www.kdskeltec.co.uk

Tim at Envy and Rob at GleamMachine are both good lads, but even with Kelly's two month lead time, it's the convenience of dropping off to get both things done at the same time, grab the train (5 minute walk) back home.

Either way, whichever of the three you go with, you shouldn't be disappointed, and similarly the same holds for Lepsons.

What it costs depends on what you want and the quality you expect. I've got a new pricelist on my site that explains what you're paying for in detail, but essentially I reckon you will be looking at the lower end of the bracket you mentioned for an 'all in' package. It takes a few days, so bear that in mind as well.

This also has an option price menu for alloy wheels for lepsons thumbup
