as above ,who does it ,where,and how much does it cost

 

loys of ppl, and a lot of money, but worth it.

Where are you?

Scotland; Polished Bliss seems the best, although im sure they all have great standards.

 

im in manchester

 

i do my own

from a good detailer it will cost about £400-£500 depending on whats done

 

HOW MUCH!!

ill give you £20 if you do mine

 

Unless you've got no time or some probs with the paintwork...swirlmarks galore, etc etc, Id also do it yourself, I get a lot of satisfaction doing it and then looking at it sparkling, and im one lazy b'stard when it comes to doing stuff like this....but the self fulfilment is worth it bud.

 

haha your like me then,dont get me wrong im all for keeping my car clean but i cant bring myself to go over it with about 5 different products. a wash ,dry,and a polish is about my limit

 

Tbh mate, I don't spend more than 2 hours on it, and it comes up nice, but being in black, and our weather...takes some cleaning, sometimes 2 x per week at least.

Hose it down

2 bucket cleaning method

rinse with hose

Dry

apply liquid wax

Buff it tooooo foooook

Jobs a good un.

Tbh, if someone cannot make their car sparkle as good as any within that time then **** knows what their doing to it.

Not having a dig, but id like to know what some manage to spend 7 hours doing? Does this include inside and out, and underneath or what?

 

yep i agree,2-3 hrs is good enough i think.athough if i start under the bonnet and stuff then it goes on and on. you clean one bit then you think ill just clean there,then there then there etc

 

ive known me to start at 9.00am and walk back in the house at 6.00pm lol

 

No offence mate, but can I ask what you do for it to take so long....? Just interested.

 

Mi engine bay aint too bad, but im a bit apprehensive about degreasing it, I can just imagine a nice big repair bill as im hosing it down and then realising Ive not covered the electrics.....

 

wash
clay
dry
wheels/archs cleaned and sealed
shuts cleaned and dressed
engine bay cleaned and dressed
polish with megs DA
sealent
wax
glass
tyres dressed
interior- hoover/plastics washed/plastics dressed

the thing is detailing is about just that the attention to detail. Thats what makes it diffrent to a valet or a simple wash and its all the little things that take time that make the diffrence to the final finish.

the likes of polished bliss will take like 15 hours on just machine polishing but the end result will be 99.9% correction and better than it came off the production line
