As some of you may know, I bought my car in April this year and I can’t stop driving it! I put on 2500 odd miles in a couple of months and then I did 3000 miles across 6 countries in 9 days with the Petrolhead Nirvana team (which deserves a thread on its own) all of these have been amazing miles and the car has not missed a beat! In fact, it has positively encouraged me to spank it at every opportunity biggrin

This has all been great fun but now its time to ‘pay the piper’ and get it cleaned PROPERLY as the paint needs a polish and the bumper looks like a fly graveyard.

I thought I would just be able to do this myself but if truth be told, I am too lazy to figure out what products I needed and also how to do it. I usually clean the car with a two bucket method (one bucket for wash solution and the other to rinse off the wash mitt) and this has been as far as I have gone but the car needed a lot more love than that so I started to look for a detailer.

I didn’t have to search far as the nearest place to me with a great reputation was Elite Car Care in Maidenhead so I booked it in and here are some pics from when I collected it








As you have no doubt guessed, I am MORE than happy with the final look, the car looks amazing and the paint looks.....thicker somehow.

I am in no way affiliated with Elite Car Care and I have not got any discount or anything, I just think that good service should be championed and if you need your car detailed professionally I highly recommend Elite Car Care.

There is nothing like a professional clean for keeping evrything tip top.

I use a professional detailer myself and even on a 14 year old car it comes up like it is brand new.

Your car looks superb.
