    If you could wash scratches out of paintwork you'd have no need for detailers :D

    That will need a light enhancement using a polishing machine and polish. The ones you see in Argos wouldn't be up to the job.

    How much are we talking do you reckon? I know a simple wash won't do it but is there no intermediate wash, scrub, wax polish job. They seems light enough marks.

    You could use AutoGlym Super Resin Polish to fill them but that only lasts 2-3 washes before it has to be redone. I can't tell you exactly how much you'll pay because you will probably need to have the whole side of the car polished in order to make it blend in. Otherwise you'll have a lovely shiny line going down the length of the car.

    Without pics I can't really say.

    Thanks. I'll try get some pics up early in the morning. I'd rather let someone who knows what they are doing tackle it than having a go myself. I'd probably make it looks worse somehow

    Hi. I'll be in Galway City for the weekend and could really do getting the car washed (2BM) and probably a clean inside. Anyone recommend somebody in the city centre? Thanks.

    Looking for a good valet for a wedding in a few weeks around the Thurles area. Don't mind travelling a bit of distance for a good job! Seats and carpet definitely need a good clean as I had a bad spill last month! Thanks

    I don't know about show spec finish, but I found the guy who is set up in the multi-story car park in Castlebar pretty good for a valet.

    Thanks Trojan. I'm really looking for someone mobile now to be honest as I'm running short of time to get it done before next Wednesday. Doesn't seem to be anybody covering this area though.

    Hi, I'm hoping to get my car valeted/detailed. It's never been done before and I think it needs it now.

    Any recommendations for Dublin?

    It's only a Ford Fiesta. I always feel a bit silly when I see the websites of these places with super cars on them. Do people get normal cars detailed?

    A mans car is his pride and joy.
    Be it a fiesta or a Bentley

    Realistaclly though.
    How much do you want to spend on it as there is a vast difference between valeting and detailing. As is theeir a big price difference.
    Would you consider buying the products and doing it yourself over a couple of weekends?

    Having worked with AlphaSud and now with D&D, go to AlphaSud if you want your car cleaned, D&D if you want it detailed ;)
