    I'll have to send you a private message as I'd be breaking the forum rules if I was to discuss this any further on this post.

    Your inbox is full also.

    Can anyone recommend a good car valet/detailer around Walkinstown/Crumlin/Ballymount? Would like to get the car done over the next week or so, and I work around that area. Thanks.

    Detailing Shed used provide a detailing and valeting service in Dublin but now only focus on products (good place to get a few things to keep on top of the job you get done) but the only ones I know of in Dublin now are Elite Auto Clean and Kingpin

    I am sure Larry from Cleancar is still doing the odd detail for people.
    Maybe contact him?

    Yeah, Larry has a FB page, Larry Keogh Detailing - based in New Ross.
    JAMES VTI S , who posted in post #32 is mobile, based in Limerick, but travels around quite a bit. Might be worth contacting him!

    I believe they have no plans to resume Detailing Services, in the near future - but its something they would like to offer, if circumstances were to change!

    Not used Elite's services, but I know Ian. Does very good work and is highly recommended by all who use him.

    Ian is also very busy and even replied to me at nearly 3 in the morning as the was working through the night. I had sent him a message the previous evening around 8.

    That's proof if ever there was any that he has so much work on and people trust him.

    That and the fact that he literally has OCD. He finds it very hard to draw the line in the sand, and be happy that he's gone above and beyond what's expected...most detailers have this problem though!

    I've just had my car done by Ian in Elite,his attention to detail is amazing and he went over and above what I was asking,as Curran says he really does find it hard to draw the line the ultimate perfectionist in any detail he takes on.

    I remember a time I brought my ST around to him for a simple wash and had recently enough pulled the Plastidip off the alloys. Had actually forgotten this fact when I dropped it off to him as there was no sign of it whatsoever on them at all. What I forgot was that I hadn't removed the wheels to remove the Plastidip, so there was still remnants of it on the barrel of the alloys inside each one.

    Well, when I came back to him to pick up the car, he had spent a decent amount of time washing it, but had spent a considerable amount of time trying to wash/remove the dirt on the inside of the alloys and it had left him slightly confused as whatever he used on it wouldn't shift it. Was only then I realised the Plastidip would have been there and told him that, he wasn't best pleased but he took it well enough, haha. Felt bad for the amount of time he tried cleaning them but he wouldn't take any extra money off me for the hassle. Proper gent and someone I would trust me car with 100%.

    Hi, just looking to get my car a good clean. I've looked up elite as recommended here. I have a few slight marks from were I went too close to a hedge on the back roads. They are not deep by the looks of it. Would this come under the general exterior washes or the more expensive paint jobs. I'll post a picture in the morning. Also, looking at the website they look quite fancy. Will they look after my little fiesta :)
