We look after the alarm for this guy who's based in Gillingham.

Some of the results he showed me where unbelievable what he could achieve. Hopefully he might be able to help. With the finish and the quality of the work I'm guessing it's not cheap though. The paint after he's finished was like looking in a mirror. UNBELIEVABLE yikes

As far as i know this is just a temporary site as the one being constructed will be much more comprehensive.

Try Jason at Pure Finish (used to be called Connoisseur). He has carried out paint correction on my M3 and also does a lot of work for Aston Martin and Porsche.

Top guy and always very reasonable price wise. Mention my name and he'll look after you.

KDS

Sorry it's long but worth the read.

I have known this guy for a few years now, he has always looked after my cars for me. I currently own an Audi A8 and over the last year he has transformed it into an S8, this has included new bumpers, wings, bonnet, even rebuilding the headlights, the list goes on. Recently he has got himself a unit and started his own company 'KDS' specializing in bespoke detailing, he also does modifications and mechanical work too (including servicing).

He has always been a perfectionist when it comes to cars, you just have to look at his M3 to see this. So I thought as I had spent all this money on modifications I would have the 'works' done to the paintwork. Kelly (the owner of KDS) talked me through the different options I had, and I went for the ultimate detail - wet sanding. The detail took 7 days and because he has his own unit he applied multiple layers and allowing them the cure over night before he applied the next layer giving my car even more protection. He has even bought himself a dedicated ramp just for detailing.

When I picked up my car I could not believe how good it looked. The paintwork looked like glass, he also did the interior and under the bonnet. Also when I was down there he was telling me he was detailing a car previously detailed by Miracle Detail. He advised me how to maintain and wash my car correctly, I decided it was time to buy some new cleaning supplies of which Kelly had in stock. If that wasn't all he also gave me a disk with photo's and video's of my car before, during and after the detail.

I would highly recommend him no matter what car you drive, you can view pictures of my car at http://www.kdskeltec.co.uk/audi_s8.phtml
