I recently posted asking for advice / recommended valeters as the interior of my car was so awful that hand cleaning, foam cleaners etc. did nothing to improve it.

In the end I went with Jim White who had photos of work on a similar interior. Mine was even shabbier as the previous owner(s) had not looked after the car (hence £2000+ straight after purchase sorting faults and re-newing many main parts!) and the interior was far from clean - this hadn't mattered so much when I bought it as I intended to strip and cage it before things went pear shaped here.

I can't fault the job. Very nice chap, very good contacts (and very flexible over timings/re-arrangements) and very thorough. The job was interior only but if anyone with similar issues (ie. BMW light grey cloth, that seems to mark up easily and looks bad when 'soiled') is interested in seeing the results you can see pics of the before (ugh!) and after here

Hi David - thanks for this.

Pleased to be of assitance. Thanks for the coffee breaks, too!

Be sure to pick up some rubber mats to lay down over the carpets; should help prolong the life a little more!

Thanks again - Jim
