Always kinda laughed at the detailing sites but have been on one for about the last hour and im ashamed to say it all sounds rather interesting.. saw polish at 7k for two wee tubs and some crazy stuff... Never hear much about detailing on here.. whose gonna admit they r into it...

i have a friend who runs http://www.ayrshireautodetailing.co.uk

the processes and difference between before and after is amazing.

most people see a shiney car and think great, myself and others now see a shiney car and look beyond it and notice swirls etc, its a bad thing lol.

Same

I would pay out for someone to do a full on detail though i recon. Only to tidy it up if it was looking a bit sorry for itself though.

I need to sort out the stone chips on my bonnet and a dent I have in my rear quarter pannel though
