Can anyone recommend a good car detailing bod in the SW pref near the Swindon area? I am looking to get the swirl marks removed from my car and have it generally made to look new again.

Cheers

update, firstly Jay thanks for the link unfortunately I'd already received an email from the link Dave provided and had replied to it prior to seeing your email.

Just noticed a possible formatting problem on your site, the page http://www.gleamingkleen.co.uk/paint%20correction.... the text gets covered up by the footer. Tried a few options resizing window etc, my browser is ie7. Might be worth a quick edit as its covering your phone number up

No problem, had his mate who helps him out do the work on my Mustang and he did an amazing job.

what screen res? I'm on 1400x900 so it could be a height issue. Anyway least I've also got you as a contact now too! If things dont pull off will give you the shout if thats ok. I could as easily just come and drop the car off up there

I think there is a guy from Bristol on here who does detailing. I remember seeing it in his profile before.

Can't think what the name is!

He could be worth a shout if he travels?

Found him!

If possible I'd go for a smaller outfit. I used a guy a couple of years ago and the results were stunning. He took a real pride in his work and did everything by hand - no hoses, no machines - it took him about twelve hours over three evenings.
Had him back last year but he'd been successful so had taken on help and they now use a polishing machine. Two men for maybe four hours. Not a patch on the previous year.
