"Clean Image" - Anyone used them before?

[theundecided]

Hi,

I finally took the plunge yesterday and bought a MINI Cooper S after months of deliberating. It's just over a year old and with it being month and quarter end I got an excellent deal. The middle-aged sales woman did turn into a real hard faced dragon after a couple of hours of dealing with me - I'm not sure they're used to people bartering so hard, especially when I could hear other customers doing deals.

Anyway, the car has some fairly light surface scratches on a few of the panels. I've told the dealer I want them buffing out before I collect the car, but I'm not sure how good a job they'll do.

I've read about Clean Image, and they're only 10 miles from the dealers, so I plan on taking it there for a quote on any rectification.

They seem to have great testimonials and the prices look decent too.

Anyone have any thoughts or experiences?

Thanks in advance.

Hi - I used to live near Chelmsford - if the owner of this company is still 'Gary', then it's well worth a visit, top bloke and good service, although usually fairly pricey.

I spoke to a guy called Kieron who seemed helpful enough.

Looking at their testmonials and the photos, they seem to be very good. I'll have a look around some of the detailing websites and see if they get a mention too.

I don't mind it being a bit pricier if they do a spot on job.

Guy I used to work with had his wheels done there, seemed pretty happy.

I've heard they're not cheap, but decent enough.

Did a great job on my NSX, brought the paintwork up beautifully and put Supagard on it. Also cleaned up the wheels and freshened up the leather (astonishing results), highly recommended.

Cheers guys.

I like their honesty, too. They put customer complaints and their responses on the website too.

Their works looks good from the photos I can see.

Hopefully I'll get away with a SMART repair.

They did some AMG wheels for me very well. Their paint detailing also looked to be good. i would use them again

Quick update,

I turned up with the car and they were very honest with what could and couldn't be rectified. Within 20 minutes it was sorted and spot on.

They offered me two grades off polish/buff repair, cheapest being fifteen quid and the dearer option thirty quid. I opted for the dearer option, but when I returned they were adamant they would only charge me fifteen. He wouldn't even take a tip.

They also buffed some minor scratch marks on the bumper for free.

They had some seriously nice cars in there.

Highly recommended.

I do the wheels for Clean image/New again.

Have also used them for work on my own car, they paintsealed the GTR for me.

Good bunch of lads, not the cheapest but willing to offer any advice you may want.
