Which detailer?

[Orichalon]

I'm thinking of getting a quick detail for the car - just to get out some of those minute scratches. I'm not looking for the best of the best, just simply looking for someone who can do a decent job for a decent price (~£100).

Thanks

Depends what you're after. Doubt you will get swirl removal for as little as £100.

[Orichalon]

Just after a simple detail, don't need paint correction or anything. The £100 is just a rough guess as to how much it'll cost - I'm happy to spend more but I want one of the cheaper options.

Ah, I see. I think you are looking for a valeter rather than a detailer then. The latter get very precious if you call them valeters.

[Isoproturon1]

To get rid of "minute scratches" properly you ARE looking at paint correction if the truth be told. But a simple polish, possibly containing fillers (e.g. Autoglym SRP) would do the job for a while.

Yellow pages might be a good starting point.

Hi,

The previous poster is quite right. The fine scratches WILL require paint correction. This is an all day affair at a minimum.

I would expect to pay at least £150 for correction and up to £300

Cheers,

Steve

super resin, followed by the treatment of deep show shine and high definition wax. -so doing it yourself. Otherwise to do a whole car by a prof detailer can cost from £200-500. Also depends on the car and condition its in. Shop around.

-If you visit autoglym.co.uk and find the stockist. Should put you in the direction of a detailer

muddydetail.co.uk, Craig does a quality job.

Thanks for all the help - if paint correction is what it needs then I'll just have to cough up.

Looks like the muddy detail guy has stopped due to back problems
