    Detail?

    or Service and Clean?

    Most will come to you, as that's how most professional detailer's customers prefer to have it. Saves them renting premises too.
    Have a look for people offering their service on Detailing World as you'll get to see their portfolio of finished cars. Though if they have Ferraris and exotica in the pictures they might be pricey (but very good).

    Any one with knowledge or machine polishing really then, sounds like it just needs a Clay, Polish and Wax. If not too badly faded or swirlly paintwork you could get away with hand polishing?
    Anyone on here in your area posted in this section before?


    What you picking up?

    Ah Red. Been there, got the muscular right forearm from polishing it back from pink. Was my first car so back before I knew about other detailing brands, I used a product "3M Finnesse it" and it did an excellent job of reviving the colour and then just kept on top of it with a colour polish.

    thats why i never liked red, it always seems to look pink. although i have found whilst looking for cars that it only seems to be on the lower models where it fades and goes pink. all the GT's/sportings i have seen dont seem to have faded too bad which is good news for me

    If the bonnet or wing mirrors have/start to go pink, there's not a great deal you can do as these parts are protected with clear lacquer against stone chips.
