It was affordable - the link to his website is below with detailed list of services. I think it's well worth it because I couldn't afford the respray and it is looking like new!!

:o That's really reasonable for correction work! And as you say it's a hell of a lot cheaper than having spray work done.

Oh definitely!! He has done a really good job as you can see from the pics, but I think he is all booked up for the summer! I actually fell in love when I picked her up. Well pleased with the work and would 100% recommend him to anyone needed paint correction and other detailing work. :cool:

Wow, Like my wife on that day I brought home a deaf sheep dog with 3 legs, I'm speechless!

I used to dabble in valeting and I would never have drempt of being able to get a car to that standard.

Incredible. At less than £10 an hour that's a bargain! 8)

If you read through every line, the number of products he uses is staggering and it's not like autoglym or Merr.
Phenominal job. I'm off to find a tree with more pigeons in it than trafalgar square to park mine under so I can get this dude round.
