Any recommended detailers in London?

[Stark]

It's pretty hard to find a decent detailer in London, all the ones I find are on the outskirts, ie Bucks, Herts and Hampshire etc.... I was going to use a guy in Hampshire, but it's still an hour each way, and getting a train back etc etc...

Does anyone know of anyone? I am embarrassed by my engine bay after the weeklong at ZedFest....so it needs to be done!!! Hampshire detailer is charging £400 for a 10 hour detail, to do everything. Ok it won't be as good as Maniacs, and it needs 2-3 days for that, but just thinking it would be easier if someone was in London.....

Any Ideas?

Hi,

This guy's got a great rep on the 911uk forum and works out of an underground car park in Knightsbridge some of the time (as well as home visits i think).

I've seen this guy on a tv documentary.. I think it was about obsessiveness and how he had OCD on cleaning a car..

He was s**t hot though and his Mrs was absloutely stunning.... not that I was looking at all

Stark - pictures before and after would be good (although I know the before already )

I'm not going to your lengths Maniac, it's a two day, 20 hour detail. I'm only using him because he comes recommended and he's in London, so let's see what comes back from it....

I know G at Elite very well - he's a very good friend and my (old) car was one of those featured on Cleaning Up Britain.

A really nice guy, passionate about his cars - I have never been disappointed with any of the work he's done on my cars....

Also looking forward to seeing the results. Our Z4 is in need of some paint correction after a hard life with it's previous owner, Maniac's pictures from the Silverstone event put our Black Sapphire paintwork to shame

Did you need to take your car over for an assessment before booking it in with Elite?

I'm on an introductory course to machine detailing down at KDS in Gillingham this Sunday, but will be practicing my new skills on our Jeep first.

Z4 35i - any space left on that course? I've been once about 3 years ago, and would welcome going again...

I am taking the car to Elite tomorrow to see it....
