Think that sounds about on price?

This includes interior valet too etc.

£280 sounds OK but depends what they do.

Don't know how they can afford to work for that haha.
Detail my ride or midlands car care would be good shouts.

Will drive to most places in the West Midlands and detail the car at your place.
Examples of cars he has done are on Instagram. Look for username "SHINEANDREVIVE"
Email address for quotes/bookings is shineandrevive@yahoo.co.uk

The going rate js around £350 and 2 full days for a decent correction, add another 150-200 to that for a ceramic coating.

If youre paying 100-200 then unless you have good solid evidence of the quality of work then think twice.

Post by: xjay1337 on June 22, 2015, 02:35:31 pm: We have had quite a few cars in that have had "other detailers" work on them... some are ok some are shocking.

If i was paying id look at someone with lots of pictures and a good client base.
