Agreed, a proper detail is always worth the money imo.

Once the wheels are refurbed and spacers on it’ll be a good place to be for a few months.

Is that your own handiwork or do you pay someone to do it?

One of the cheapest things you can do to your car for the return imo Alex, it always feels more like your car afterwards rather than the previous owners. Like you’ve peeled away a layer of their filth.

It looks stunning. Can I ask how much something like that costs to get done? I’ve only ever paid a tenner at a car hand wash place, or had half a go myself.

Interior and exterior was £150. I’ll put some photos up of the stereo screen for example to show the difference there.

That's very cheap compared to what I've found round here (London). Unless you're somewhere in the far north of Scotland I suspect I could drive there, stay a day or two and still save money.

I can get a bonnet, roof, rear tailgate painted and 4 wheels refurbed for £500 to a really good standard.

Nice 8-)

That is cheap tho. Most places you'd be looking at north of a grand I'd have thought depending on how bad the bodywork is.

Ceramic coating on my BBS RS was £100 at a different place, I guess it comes down to me being a repeat customer that I get very good rates.

Insurance renewal came in this week..... drumroll........ £200 cheaper than last year and the letter said in bold red text "...we will NOT automatically renew your policy. Should you wish to renew your policy, including any amendments please call us on..."

How refreshing ! Thumbs-up for Reis.

In Kent on the local Facebook group there’s 3 detailers charging £45-50 just for an exterior wash and that’s on a small Polo sized car. Add £15 for each size up and £15 more for interior - feck that.

There’s a company which do a lot of the cars under my flat, from £150 for a wash but it’s a 2 bucket wash :lol:
