New car detail prices and recommendations *Now done :)*

[xjay1337]

To be fair you would need to be prepared to travel somewhat if it means the job is done really well - we have had people from as far as Plymouth! But fingers crossed matey

Cheers pal. Yeah I wouldn't mind a bit of travel if I knew I could get a loan car while its done. I really can't be without a car. I'll have to see what the dealers do about my paintwork first and then see if I can find anything.

Drop it off on a Friday evening, collect on a Saturday night/Sunday morning.
A Protection detail can easily be done in that time period. You'll be hard pressed to find any detailers that have hire cars, opens up a whole new ball game with insurance etc  would make life a whole lot more easy tho.

Im jay at miglior btw... I have a courtesy car. We have customers much much further away. We do the best work possibly, and whilst we don't try to be expensive, its normally the high side of things purely of how much we do. Price is one thing, value is another.. i promise you will not get better value there with me. I can also promise, you'll get a cheaper job! :)

I also have a courtesy car, its a 2013 corsa SRI.

I believe in providing the best, so thats why I have a courtesy car. Its in birmingham at the minute though! lol

Cheers, sounds great but even with a courtesy car going oop north for it would be a bit excessive I'm afraid!

enterprise do cars from £16 per day

it amazes me how people want work done to their cars but don't actually want to leave it lol

you wont find better than jpc, don't know his prices now a days, but we still only refer to him for the stuff we don't do (like soft top roof's on porches)

you do need to go off recommendation though as a lot of the people who 'detail' etc showing the before and after pics actually havn't done much and you can still see the imperfections in the reflection

Yeah there are a lot of valeters who charge double the money for a "detail" but do a poor job

[xjay1337]

The thing that annoys me personally are people who don't show decent before and afters, using decent, fixed lights and photo angles. You can hide so much using different angles or moving lights slightly.

Nothing is ever going to be perfect. But being upfront to your customers and getting the best result is important.

Nope not yet, haven't had a proper look yet. Still waiting to get the dealer to fix all the scratches that they have put in it before I can get around to thinking about a detail.

Scratches?
Be careful as often they make it worse.
We've had 2 or 3 cars in now direct from Audi after they have messed up a "valet" lol

Yeah, the paintwork has lots of straight scratch marks in various places. It looks like they have used a blade to dry it and it had grit on it. Not sure if it will even polish out, but I have to give them a chance to fix it.

For anyone who's interested I've just got my car back from a correction polish by a very good very local company. Got it done by Waxing Lyrical in Verwood

It is just a small one man operation but he knows exactly what he's doing and has decades of experience. Reasonable prices too which is good, but fortunately managed to get the dealer to pay for the work as it's them who ruined it to start with! Very pleased with the results, the car is now looking how it should for a new car! Also got him to debadge it while he was at it.
