Hi All,
Can you recommend a detailer/bodywork refurbisher specialist in North / North-West London please?
I need someone with Porsche experience and know-how.
Many thanks.

I know Knightsbridge isnt north (!) but elite detailing have a very good reputation.

http://gleammachine.net. Rob does more than his fair share of Porsches.

I took my 997 to Gleamachine and left it with Rob for a few days (March 2012). I thought he did a great job on the exterior, the water is still beading now (not rewaxed since). Having said that, his attention to the interior was not as good. Apart from feeding the leather (with some lovely smelling stuff) he didn't quite clean it as I would have hoped (mark in px footwell left, inside of windows not cleaned). Worked ok for me as I can easily clean the interior, but to be kept in mind.

I've also taken my car for a wash at Elite in Knighstbridhe (Gurch). Found him quite keen on finding issues with the paint and highlighting them out, slightly annoying. Ended up charging £5 more as he didn't have change and "I was going to charge you more as it was in a state anyways". Got the impression he is used to big spenders (Veyron up next after mine...) so expect 'generous' bills.

Conclusion, I'm still on the lookout for a good & reliable detailer that won't cost more than a large service bill!

Topaz Detailing, nothing better than that!

They moved to Premier Park last year, most impressive facility you could think of!

If you want Porsche experience then there's Rob at Supercar Detailing. He looks after a lot of Exotica including F40's/Enzo's and I got him to inspect my GT3 before flying down to buy it.

He also owns a mint 996 GT3 RS smile
