Does anyone know of a garage/valeter where you can go and entrust your car to them, and they clean it amazingly inside and out, and engine, refurbish alloys, get rid of tar spots, touch up stone chips etc etc etc???

I want a real professional to give my Mini a bit of a makeover... anywhere in the South of England?! I don't even know if such places exist but if anyone out there knows please share the knowledge!

Thanks all,

Intrepid.

We have them on just about every corner here in the States.

Just jog on over and I'll set you up with Reggie and Omar down the street. They will make your baby shine like a new penny!

You cheeky so and so! I want it done professionally! My touch ups just aren't as good as they should be - and I can't zymol it myself cos i'm a girl and I'm weak and the wax dries before I get there to take it off... the trauma! I don't have an alloy refurbishing machine either - do you? what about an engine steamer thing?!

oh alright then.... your local dealership will either do it, or know a company that will do it for you.

There's a place near me but it's in the North East. They also charge through the roof.

I'd give your dealership a try, you don't know if you don't ask.
