Collateral 10 Report post Posted July 11, 2017 Hi all, I have been doing some research recently into getting my car detailed. Now I don't want to spend in excess of £150 which limits my option somewhat. Here are some pictures of how flat my paintwork is... I also have a heap of stone chips on the front bumper but I know I won't get that done too with the above budget. Does anyone know of any local detailers that don't charge the earth and have been tried and tested? Ryan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stutopia 158 Report post Posted July 11, 2017 I paid more than £150 in Blackpool for a single stage correction, good luck in West London. If you wanna save the cash, you'd be better picking up a second hand DA and learning. 1 Collateral reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did mine with zero experience and as long as you choose products that are not too abrasive then you can't go wrong. 1 Collateral reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You could learn with a rotary on your own car, but for the sake of £10 you could experiment with all manner of pads and liquids, you could even wet sand it. All the while building confidence and knowledge. 1 Foulsmell reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
