Just bought myself a 316 E30 and the paintwork has a fair few swirls, dinks and scuffs.
Does anyone know of any cheap detailers in the Berkshire area that can carry out paint correction, dent removal and the like.
Any contacts would be appreciated.

I'm very near Reading, but cheap isn't a word I'd use. What sort of budget are you looking at? Happy to take a look for you and have a chat if you'd like.

Would you be able to take a look and give me a quote? I'm at RG1.
The car has been well looked after and is in good nick. Its just a shame they didn't use a sheepskin mit in the 80's!
I think most of the swirls would come out with some light machine polishing but I'm no expert.

Hope you strike it lucky but detailing does not come cheap.Blackout wrote:Just bought myself a 316 E30 and the paintwork has a fair few swirls, dinks and scuffs.

Compounds and equipment used are quite expensive.
Good luck though !!

More than happy to do that. E30's are nice to work with, some colours are harder than others. My Touring was a bastard, the E30 saloon on my site wasn't too bad to work on.Blackout wrote:Would you be able to take a look and give me a quote? I'm at RG1.

When are you around? I'm at the Pistonheads show for the rest of the week, but will be around Sunday? Need to go to Esher to quote a car Sunday morning, could pop in on the way back if you're about. Let me know by pm if you'd prefer.
