Hi guys,

Many thanks for the kind words, I’m delighted with it. Car is now a little grubby but very well protected.

Cost me £120 for 5 hours work, which I thought was reasonable value. He worked solidly for the entire time and a very good guy. I was on coffee and biscuit duties.

His website has all the prices and types of service he can provide and is fully mobile. I’d never met Tim before but he had been recommended to me my another detailer, as I was struggling to find a detailer within the Dorset area. He also works on supercars and mega-prestige motors and he knows his stuff!

I’m going to use him 4 times a year to keep everything in tip-top condition. Full detail twice (with orbital buffer), partial detail (hand buffed) twice.

Also LEDs came from VW Speed via Mike... quite limited supply I believe

... cheers, Hotrod

Yes they are darkened and they match perfectly... made by Valeo... the same as the originals.

Cheers guys

Found this chap on a search, based in Solihull, sent him an email for more details with regards to detailing my GTI as it has a fair few swirls and I think its due a bit of TLC, I'll let you know what I get back.  :smiley:

Cheers guys,

When you say very young Shaun???  As you know I have swirls on the bonnet (from new I'd like to add) so just want it sorting, so may as well get the whole car protected at the same time  :grin:
