Highly recommended.

Rob is mobile but also based in Thurrock so only a quick train ride from Southend and he'll drop/collect you at station.

Cheers for the nod Pete.but time is not on my side lately.
Boyd at br car detailing maybe able to squeeze it in and can do mobile.
Kelly is too far from Southend I reckon but worth the trip


be careful of a lot of the one day detaiilers thought gone turning up at 9 and finishing at 4 is cheating with fillers etc and not doing a proper job.there are too many "valeters" using the detailed name nowdays

I can def recommend Stuart of F1Wax.

He spent all day correcting the paintwork on my Black E3 GTS today and done a fantastic job for a great price. His attention to detail is superb. The car looks brilliant, over the moon with result biggrin

Neil, southend is very close compaired to most of the KDS customer wink

Note thou KDS are fully booked with pre paid deposits till end of August with limited spaces for september and half spaces gone for october, the customers are keeping the 6 staff extemely busy at present which i wont complain about at all.

Oh your last comment,,,, we are dealing/detailing 2 cars this week that had the one day specials in the recent past with customer disappointed a few weeks later once the fillers had burnt away in the strong UV light and few washes,,, we could so easily book more cars in and not disappoint so many new enquires with our back log by just detailing much quicker using filler heavy products so short term would gain, would long term suffer???? i think so.

Very true Kelly. I know a lot will travel but it does put a lot off which is a shame.i would happily travel for good service and always have.whether it's mechanical or cosmetic.

I see far too many shonky jobs done on cars lately by "detaiilers" who are just valeters. Winds me up tbh.
I rarely recommend anyone other than you or Gurchan at elite. But boyds work too is a a good quality

Can you post a couple of pics on this thread Kelly? We all love a good 'before and after' but Detailing World can be a bit OTT for it biggrin
