skahigh Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Can anyone recommend a good detailer in the Cardiff area please? I've never had a car detailed before but always wanted to get it done as I've seen some amazing results. I don't really have the time, skill or inclination to perform a full detail myself. Also, I have a couple of stone chips on the front wings, am I best off getting these smart repaired before or after a detail? On that note, can anyone recommend me a smart repairer? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skahigh Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 Ti22 in Newport Thanks for that, do you have personal experience of using them? Any idea what a rough cost for a good detail is likely to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crb Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I do.... You'll not get much change from £350 for a 2 day paint correction. Brilliant work tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skahigh Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 Hmmm, that's a bit more than I was hoping for. Any idea if they do smart repairs? I can see from their website they do wheel refurbs and such and I think they allude to respraying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skahigh Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Any thoughts on the smart repair? I'm guessing I should get this done before a detail really? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skahigh Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 Anyone got an opinion on the above? Is a smart repair worth having done? If so, is it better to have it done before or after a proper detail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilogikal1 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Is a smart repair worth having done? That depends entirely on the abilities of the person doing the repair. A good one would be worthwhile, a bad one is just money down the drain. I appreciate this doesn't help much, but it's all I've got. If so, is it better to have it done before or after a proper detail? Definitely before. The painter will need to remove the protection added by detailer if done before, and may undo more of the detailer's hard work. Assuming a competent detailer of course, the above advice applies to the detail as well as smart repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
