WOW, coincidence. Just been on the DB valeting website. Min charge for a full zymol is £250.
I'll probably get my new car done by either DB or Park Ferme in dorset. There's a list on the Zymol website of aproved detailers (could count them on your fingers and still have a few left) so i assume they're ratehr good.

I've had a look through some of these web sites and none of them give their address. I understand that due to the value of the vehicles they deal with it makes sense not to tell everyone where you operate from so is it a case of dropping them an email and they say where to come or do they come to you??

see if this helps
The only way to get a shiny, gleaming surface (other than having a nice fresh re-spray) is to cut the top layer of oxidised paint. Like in the old "T-Cut" days then your supposed to polish it (say with a good wax product such as "Turtle Wax"
to seal the cut paint work, to protect it and keep the shine. So…For the best result's, your best off first seeking advice from a reputable body shop about having your car cut to a good layer of the original un-oxidised paint but assuming it's not that bad anyway.
1) Rinse the car (water).
The aim is to remove the initial dirt so it does not cause scratches on the bodywork (ever wondered how those tiny scratches get on your paint work in the first place). Don't use a car wash, there terrible on your paint as are the jet wash brushes, just hose the car with water to rinse the surface grime off. If you can pressure wash it, do so.
2) Clean your car (Zymol).
The aim is to clean the dirt of the car, as you've hosed the bodywork, it's wet so any dirt will hopefully not scratch your paint. Zymol shampoo has no petrochemicals so it doesn't damage the paint work it also has a neutral pH so it is not acidic or caustic.
3) Rinse car (water).
Remove the soap so you can see if you've missed anything.
If there is any dirt still visible then repeat step 2 and use more elbow grease
4) Chammy (Zymol).
Get rid of excess water by using a Zymol chamois as this is kinder to the bodywork.
5) Cut the car / read CLEANSE (Zymol HD--CLEANSE).
You should now have a clean car ! The following process cleans the surface it also gives a good base for the wax to adhere to. It does not cut the paint work as such. It certainly does not colour the cloth, it will take a layer of Zymol wax. Cleanse looks, smells and tastes like chocolate, it is a natural product. You pop a little on the Zymol sponge and wipe it straight on, on a clean, non-oxidised car the results are in itself quite stunning.
It also can be used safely on the black rubber trim, it again doesn't leave those white chalk marks, so over spill is not a problem !
Also your supposed to apply and wipe off using "STRAIGHT LINES", ever wondered how thoes scratches got in the paint work, in the first place, yep, using circular movements !
6) Wax the car (Zymol).
You've cleaned the car, so now you have to seal the clean
finish. Again, you only need to use small amount's of Zymol, (which is why, though a starter kit is expensive, it will last years (at least the wax will !) straight lines, wiped off using a clean cloth again YEP in straight lines. After about 30 - 45 min's it dries to a hard shell finish, this now protects the paint work and keeps the shine there ! WAX'ing does not make a car shine that should have been done in the cleaning process, it will however make it feel as smooth as silk though !
Now, aftercare, up to 2-3 weeks, just water from a hose will take off any road grime, simply allow it to dry.
3 -4 weeks, shampoo only needed.
Every month a wax. You can apply wax over wax, provided you've done the first job properly all it does is give an extra coating of
protection
6-9 month's, if the car's looking tired then re-cleanse, BUT re-"cutting" WON'T strip all your previous waxes of only the last coat. This is why it's important to start off with a properly (body shop) buffed, un-oxidised paint work.
To do a full Zymol took me about 2-3 hours and it was an "easy" .
I have used several detailer and can recommend only one Paul @ Miracle Detail.
Anyone can apply Zymol but it's the preparation of paint that is most important as bite-me has highlighted.
What I was most impressed about with the service Miracle Detail supplied was a full paint depth reading on every panel before machining the paint ensuring the paint was thick enough to cut back.

Daft question, but why not do it yourselves?
I loved every minute of doing mine. Nice sunny day, Klay bar, HD Cleanse, Glasur wax, smeared on by hand (NURSE, CURTAINS PLEASE!)
I would say four hours to do the full deal, and gives such an intimate relationship with your car and the 911 shape. (NURSE, QUICKLY PLEASE!)

Get Zymol John to do it.
He does the majority of the RS and GT3's and is without doubt the best car detailer I have ever used.
He is also extremely reasonable and a top lad too boot.
Turned up at 8am in the morning and left at 10pm that night...
He also prepaired a big group of the Titanic cars prior to Spa.
Give him a ring on 07720 378402

I got mine done recently although the guy used Swissol. Took over 11 hours and the vast majority of that was in the preperation of the car and the cost was £150.
Previously had never used Swissol but have been very impressed with the results.
Here are the pics:
