Just been quoted £280 for a 2-3 stage detail, takes about 2-3 days they said..

Think that sounds about on price?

This includes interior valet too etc.

What does the detail involve?

£280 sounds OK but depends what they do.

Detail My Ride is where I've taken my car in the past.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Don't know how they can afford to work for that haha.
Detail my ride or midlands car care would be good shouts.

Highly recommend my mate who is a mobile detailer. Trading under the name "Shine and Revive"
Will drive to most places in the West Midlands and detail the car at your place.
Examples of cars he has done are on Instagram. Look for username "SHINEANDREVIVE"
Email address for quotes/bookings is shineandrevive@yahoo.co.uk

Another vote for Russ at midlands car care. He knows his stuff and produces some really good work. Check out his facebook page for his work.

Thanks, will check them out.  Now I have nearly sorted all the niggles on the car I can look into getting it done.

Remember, if you think a professional is expensive, wait until you hire an amateur.

The going rate js around £350 and 2 full days for a decent correction, add another 150-200 to that for a ceramic coating.

If youre paying 100-200 then unless you have good solid evidence of the quality of work then think twice.

That's actually a very good point, makes sense!  :smiley:

We have had quite a few cars in that have had "other detailers" work on them... some are ok some are shocking.

If i was paying id look at someone with lots of pictures and a good client base.

+1. Often there's a website with blog of work done and some have a section on DW.
