Hi,I've seen on the detailing world website a company called Midlands Car Care has done a 1M a couple of times. http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/foru...d.php?t=256024 & http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/foru...d.php?t=265265. Website not up and running yet but his email is russ@midlandscarcare.co.uk.

Good luck with the search

Where in the UK are you located?

UK is home to a handful of the best detailers in the world...

Few choices I highly reccomend..

Jay at Exclusive car care

I hear Polished Bliss are awesome, although aren't they based up north?

Midlands Car Car have done a few 1M's and you can find their threads on Detailing World.

Here are a few of their threads:

Why not DIY?

Do you hire a jigolo for your lady, too?

You're after best AW at the Ace Cafe aren't you?
Use Marc from Heavenly Detail. He bought up my VO fantastic and Im the hardest person in the world to please. He used Swissvax Crystal Rock IMO the best wax in the world and the wet look in the paint is amazing. When you compare the finish to another VO 1M the difference is so noticeable. Also he has done Aussie on here as well see the pics from http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=700197. PM me for his details if you need his services.

Some people simply do no thave the time nor skill involved in properly detailing a car, nevermind "expensive" car they don't want to mess the paint up on. Sometimes it is easier to pay someone experienced in re-building a motor than it is wasting the enormous man hours and money doing it yourself and making mistakes. Same goes for pretty much all skilled trades like professional detailing.

I hihgly doubt you do EVERYTHING yourself in your life and NEVER pay ANYONE to do anything for you. Because you are just an amazing electrician, plumber, house builder, car detailer, painter, car mechanic, carpenter, landscaper, etc, and have all the time in the world doing all of those things...

I am not sure where you got all of that. My post was in no way meant to suggest that I do EVERYTHING myself. I am more likely to detail my own car (and hopefully not mess it up) than I am to rebuild my motor or build my own house, but I guess I can see how people from all of those trades may have been offended by my comment. Jeesh.



We all love our cars and detailing is something I see as an expression of that. So is an oil change I suppose, but I see the process of making it look brand new again as satifying and fun, regardless of how many hours it takes. I would not give that up to someone else, and I am sure others feel that way. It has nothing to do with saving money.

My apologies for throwing in a piece of humor. I hope the OP took it that way. If not, I apologize for jacking the thread. People around here need to lighten up.

The car looks so clean photos look like photo shopped so that you put the image of a ultra clean car in that landscape. Impressive job!

As much as I LOVE detailing my own car, and spending the entire weekend (sometimes) performing paint corrective work, sealents, waxes, interior, undercarriage, etc, many of us simply just dont have the time. I am leaving the house at 6am and return home at 11pm mon -friday. by the time the weekend comes there is just so much I need to do that the car will get neglected for months at a time. It is nice to be able to drop the car off to a very good reputable detailer and pick it up in perfect, like new condition, then it is spending my entire weekend cleaning it and going back to my routine on monday all over again while getting nothing done. If I had a slack job, wasnt in med school, and didnt have family and girlfriend to always cater too then I'm sure I could fit it in more often like you, or others here. That is all I was trying to get across to you. I wasnt trying to offend you or anyone else, just trying for you to understand the other side of it.

There are some fantastic detailers in the US but overall I would say the UK standard is higher. Lots of great choices... get it done once properly and from there on out maintenance should be pie
