Going rate for a new car detail?

[JackReacher]

Hi all, new car will be arriving in a couple pf months, and intend to get it detailed with a 3/4 year ceramic coating. What is the going rate for something lile that?

Any recommendations in the north Hampshire/Surrey/Berkshire area?

What car do you have incoming?...cost of an Golf will be different to that of a Touareg.

£400-£600 should see you well in any case.

Cheers,

Chris

Thanks, its a 3 series so fairly average size, so would probably fit in that price range

Are you anywhere near Jim White? Check out his YouTube channel for his fastidious attention to detail and over-delivery. If you are going to pay 4-600 quid, you really should speak to him.

Oops. Thanks. Managed to miss that bit of the post!

It’s a bit of a trot but I would still consider it personally given the examples of his work, equipment and methods on his YouTube channel. Frankly, I would just have the car delivered there from BMW and not let the dealer anywhere near it to make it worse before it gets there.

I can recommend Detail My Car (DMC) based at Greenham Park, just south of Newbury on the Hampshire border. £500 sounds about right for a new car treatment, depending on size of course.
