What do you define as a good clean?
An extensive valet - getting the interior wet vac'd, outside fairly presentable
Gloss enhancement of the paintwork
Or a return to the best condition possible

I did leave myself open to that one to be fair.

Interior is in very good shape so not so worried about that. I'd like to get the exterior as clean and shiny as possible. I've noticed grime in nooks and crannys (under mirrors, under door sills, between panels etc.) that a car wash doesn't reach. I'd also like to get it waxed and polished. Window glass also needs to be cleaned and polished all round.

Make sense?

Looked at the Elite page. Thinking maybe the Elite Clean (€59) & maybe the Mini Interior Detail (€30) does most of what I'm after?

http://eliteautoclean.com/detailing-services/

It's a bit of a leap to the Single Stage Correction (€450).

Elite Auto Clean no longer offer services.

It sounds like you require something along the lines of a mini detail, but without the expense of a full detail. You might need to shop around with the detailers and see if you can get them to perform a half days work - but most dont like doing that unless its over a day, a day and a half of work.

PM me if you want further advice!

Look Spirit detailing up on facebok if you have an account.
As far as I know he is still offering his services but not from his old place in Liexlip, He is hoping to be set up in a new premises soon enough.

Alternatively Detailing Shed on here offer super service as well, with having an excellent detailier doing the work.
Give Curran a shout on here.

As promised - got the car done over the weekend and results far exceeded my expectations. The lads in D'Shed were an absolute pleasure to deal with and thought it was great value for money considering the time, effort and passion that goes into their work. Pics here:

Will definitely be back to them in the future.

Car was in decent shape beforehand and this was a 2 day job - 1.5 days on 2 stage polish and 0.5 day on interior.

This wasn't a valet it was a professional detail.

That looks very impressive, depending on how broke I am after getting my wheels refurbished (which is definitely happening next month!!) getting an interior detail is my next job! I think I know where I'm taking it now!

One thing I noted MM is the address for D&D in Cork is incorrect, their address is actually:

6, Westlink Business Park, Mallow Rd, Cork.

As well as the mobile, the lads can also be contacted on 021 456 4984.

Every time I'm down in Cork I always make sure I get the car brought up to them to wash it because my car always shines like a new car after they're finished with it! I highly recommend them for anyone down that neck of the woods!

I bought a car over the weekend that needs a good valet.
I would like a machine polish and wax/seal on exterior, engine bay cleaned and the leather interior conditioned along with a proper valet.

Can anyone recommend someone in Kildare or west Dublin area?

Thanks.

But I would compare that to asking a Michelin star chef to butter me some crackers.
What I’m really looking for is a fairly comprehensive valet rather than a detail, but I might make contact with Brian to see what we can do.

Nearly everything you're looking for to be done are not things I would let just anyone do, especially the engine bay detail.

Bring it to Brian and rest assured that your car is in safe hands.

Greetings all.

Recently purchased a 152 Audi A6 Avant SLine and want to get a job done similar to the "GTECHNIQ Protection Detail" these lads provide - -

http://www.flawless.ie/services/protective-coatings-gtechniq

I'd go with the flawless lads only for they are based in Drogheda & I'm in Skerries.

I work at the top end of O'Connell St, start at 6.45am and need to be on the road home to Skerries for 4pm and I'm wondering;

a) is there any detailers in the city centre who can do a job similar to the flawless service mentioned above &

b) is the timeframe I have, realistic enough to have such work carried out ??

Larry is returning full time to the detailing scene with Cleancar.ie
Delighted to hear. Larry is a good man who I learned a lot from.

This a quote from his facebook page for now .

***Breaking News***
We are absolutely delighted to announce today that as and from the 2nd of January, we are back full-time detailing
To say I’m excited about this is an understatement, I see myself as one of the luckiest people on the planet who can earn my crust from doing the thing that I love.

We will be based in new Ross as always, and we are extremely lucky to have a very secure, 24/7 monitored, fully insured, well insulated detailing unit.

The Cleancar.ie name will represent the detailing side of our business, but we will also have a shop where we will sell a limited line of detailing supplies and accessories. More on this very soon.

Thanks for all the support that people have given us since we went part time 4 years ago, your support has meant an huge amount.

More updates during the week

Much better off getting a pro to do it for you.
otherwise it is 300€ down the drain.
Or
save yourself some money and buy a kit to look after it yourself?

I always use Robbie at Mirror Image Detailing. He;'s based at STONE Motorsport too so there's always awesome stuff to look at when you're dropping the car off! He's not the cheapest but in my opinion he's worth paying a bit extra for

Hi,

Some great info on this forum. I am picking up my new Megane R.S trophy in approx. two weeks, and was wondering what protective coatings people would recommend. I'm staying away from the dealers offers as I think the one size fits all dealer valeter will make a mess of it.

I am going to bring the car to a detailer, and I've love some help with 2 questions first:

1) Would people recommend a ceramic coating? (why yes or no please!)
2) In the Dublin/Leinster area, who would you recommend. I've seen Spirit detailing mentioned here alot, has anyone used them or know anything about them? Also Ceramic Pro Ireland are at alot of shows etc, has anyone used them, or know anything about them.

Any suggestions gratefully received.
