Was looking into getting the RS3 a nice detailing session before winter and I was wondering which detailers people in the north west use / recommend?

 

Cheers. :)

Ones I'd recommend:

Jay at Miglior in Accrington, Blackburn
Chris at Griffiths detailing near Ormskirk.

I've used Jay for the wife's Rangie and mines booked in with Griffiths in September.

Both top of thier trade in this area/UK

Matt at Magic Detail in Altrincham...

 

I've used him before and he knows his stuff!

There really is no other option than Matt at Obsidion in Delph. He is absolutely incredible and has pretty much taught me everything I know. I'm not to shabby myself nower days either ;)

The two I'd seen examples of were Magic detailing and Miglior. I'll have to check the other ones out too.

 

AudiRS3 - That is a very nice example of a black RS3! I don't think I'd want to drive it after it was that clean! :lol:  :lol:

That's mine under halide lighting, it shows all, and it's crystal there :)

 

Check this out my thread of the few days spent with Matt, he's a real good mate of mine and if you mention the forum he'll sort you out :) http://www.detailing...ad.php?t=358283

It's not the getting the cars like above...

It's keeping the B*****y thing looking like that and making the thicko's at dealerships understand the work we put into making our cars shine........

Then there's the car parks which are a dangerous place for good looking cars.

Thats the Nuts Mr T

 

Is it worth doing all that work on a Ibis white?

 

as it does not show all the marks a black or dark one does  ????

 

I do mine by hand and it does not look to shabby when its washed and waxed but always willing  to improve !

If I had to find fault with the above picture..........I'd say those step ladders would be a nightmare to walk up with all the products on them.

Oh 100% Roy, white is both fantastic and a pain at the same time. Pulling gloss on a white car can be difficult but I think it's worth it. The biggest and best thing are coatings. They help with keeping the car clean and almost have some self cleaning abilities. I never used them before as I can be a little old fashioned but Matt convinced me as its my daily. Offers great scratch resistance too, helps to keep those swrirls at bay and can increase the final finish of a at far more than any wax I've used (that's an awful lot by the way, both cheap and nearly a relationship breakup expensive 😂😂😂). I'll find someone down your way who's rated if you want me to do some research?

Sean that looks amazing, have you used that Z8 I mentioned about yet? That's my final finish after a wash now and it's just stunning 😍

Thanks Josh

The First picture is after using the ZainoZ8
The others were after I DA'd the car last year.
When i get time I'm going to give it another DAing. Then I'll use the Glare Pro I bought.

I use Sainsburys own washing up liquid  :84:

 

The problem for people like me there is too much choice and its mind boggling for what to use when to use it and how !
