Looking for recommendations for professional car detailing companies, in and around Stirling but happy to travel a bit further for a good job to be done.

Wanting to get the RB320 looking like new again.

Gav and the guys at Ian Grieves have done an excellent job in getting the obvious stuff done but i wanted to take things one stage further.

Looking to get the car professionally washed, clay barred and stripped right back to get rid of all of the road grime/Tar and deposits.

I know of a few chips that need doing not obvious to the eye at first glance but i know they are there, back arch just in front of rear wheels for example.

Then looking for a machine polish of every single panel followed by an application of a nice long lasting wax, quite happy to pay a bit extra for one of the exotic ones to get a stunning shine on it.

Full interior blitz as well.

Autobahn Detailing in Aberdeen have come recommended but i would prefer someone closer to home in Stirling.

If anyone has any recommendations that would be appreciated.

Regards

There are one or two on here that may be able to offer their professional services, e.g Iain. Just class myself as a beginner with it as a hobby having just finished my own marathon effort but so happy when it looks soo clean and shiny !! If no luck with folks on here or distance is still an issue could look on detailingworld.

Remember get the pics up when you've had it done, well as long as you're happy with it !!

Scotty, if you're really struggling I'd be happy to help out, although I'm only an amateur, but I am in Stirling, so very local. Obviously if you can get a professional go for it, I'm not trying to steal any business from them, but if you are striking out, then give me a shout.

I've got a couple of bottles of polish and some polishing gear -

Actually come to think of it... Ok it's not local to the central belt.. But Polished Bliss, just outside Aberdeen woudl do a damn fine job of that if you can't find anywhere else...

My car is booked into PB on Monday, unfortunately they are fully booked for the rest of the year!

Mike, I'm speechless. Not only does it look impressive, I realise the cost involved. If I knew you had a depth gauge on order my car would be with you!

If seen "so called" professionals with less equipment than that!! :P

But it's not the stock, it's how you use it that counts :D

I'm curious to see some of your work mate! I'm sure it's top notch!

Totally agree with you 100% Al, I've seen some "professional" work that has been really poor, just because you've got the gear doesn't say much. I've enclosed a couple of thread you can have a wee look at, one of them is the original Dr Colorchip review I did, since it went out, Bill at Dr Colorchip has confirmed over 1000 sets have gone to the UK!! Wish I'd bought shares in the company!!!

You can also go onto the Polished Bliss website and look up their show n shine area where I won the March 2008 detail!!

Dr Colorchip review (I still love this stuff!!)
