I’m sure it has been asked before but can anyone recommend a good contact for paint correction and detailing? Either mobile (car’s kept in a garage) or around South West London.

Thanks in advance

Sam

Nope, not presently. I think there is one in Kent but too far for me.

I’m happy to give you a quote for it, however, I don’t carry water and power, as I rely on clients having a hose point and plug in their garage.

Call Tom Puttick at All That Gleams. They have a detailing facility near Shere in Surrey and one of their team will travel to SW London. I’ve used him for years and he’s brilliant.

Am surprised you have not considered Elite Detail in Knightsbridge. Ran by Gurcharn. Pretty well known in the community and a real petrol heads.

I have been using him for more than 10years, since he started in his garage doing my V8 M3 orange peel correction to my recent ppf on 458 speciale, F12, GT3 etc

And you can tell they care about the cars.

Google him and tell him Rosino sent you. They will look after you.

I went there (~2015, behind Harrods at the time) to have my 911 washed. Wasn't very impressed:

1. Granted, the next car after mine was a Veyron, but I sort of felt like a standard 911 Carrera was wasting his time. Dunno, maybe its just me;
2. The door carpets bottoms came back wet. Not good impression of attention to detail;
3. He left me out of pocket by £5 as he didn't have change. "We'll sort it next time". Never went back.

To be fair he was friendly and all, but I did get the feeling that, to be properly looked after you need to spend a packet with them first. Totally see why that's the case in that part of the world, just not for me!
