N4eay Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Hi all, Can anyone recommend a detailer in the Berkshire / Surrey area. All I'm looking for is to remove swirl marks and apply a protection coating, budget of £150ish. Cheers Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 You'll be lucky for that budget, tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 What I mean is, to even cover overheads plus materials is going to get close to that, never mind paying for labour and making a profit on top especially in the South. Realistically you need to be at least doubling that budget for a decent job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 You could do a lot worse than buy a DA and polishes for that money and have a go yourself... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hodaka Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 (edited) Excuse my copy & paste of one of my previous posts but in case you do double your budget My friend (based in Church Crookham) does it on the side and I think charges around £300 for prewash, wash, clay, correction, wax and sealant. You'd have to check with him about exact details, e.g. if it's a 1/2 stage correction etc... but I know he's meticulous and takes a lot of pride in what he does. Let me know if you want me to send over his contact details so you can ask questions etc... Edited May 17, 2016 by Hodaka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricey Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 If you mean a semi permanent coating you need to add at least another 100 onto Hodakas price as well. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realistically you need to be at least doubling that budget for a decent job. And then double it again for correction and coating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
