Detailing in Scotland

Hello,

Can anyone recommend a good detailer in Scotland?

I have found 2 via Google but just wondered if any users had any experience of any others

Thanks

Depends where you are, but regardless of that I would recommend Robert at Incredible Detail as he's done many of my cars and I'm very fussy and particular. Have a look at his website and you'll get a feel for the sort of work he does.

If you're in the north of Scotland, have a look at AM Details of Elgin.

http://www.amdetails.co.uk/about_us

see also their Facebook page
https://www.facebook.com/amdetails/

and especially their Flickr Photostream for examples of their work

My new F34 335i is booked in next month for a full new car treatment including Gtechniq CS Black etc.

Think he was one I found based in Perth. I would travel for it anyway.

I'm interested in anyone in the Fife or Edinburgh area. Keen to see what they can do on my car. Never used a detailer so will post back here with prices for feedback.

Pristine Machine in Port Glasgow are fantastic. You will wait about 8-10 weeks for an appointment though, they are always well booked out

If you don't mind a little drive, then suggest Polished Bliss, Aberdeen.

It's just up past Dyce, so not a huge drive outside Aberdeen.

Privelege Detailing in Edinburgh is highly recommended. Saw the results of their efforts on a new GT3 RS at the weekend and it was stunning. My mate trusts them with his small fleet of cars including some pretty special stuff and they do a great job.

There are quite a few recommended detailers in Scotland.
Try Detailing World web site for more specific areas. You'll see some threads on what can be acheived.

My detailer is in Fife & i'm more than happy to travel over there as i know he does a good job. I've been going there with various motors for a good few years.
Black Magic Detail, ask for Stevie.

My new car protection & ceramic coating is getting done soon as he has an available slot, i'm bit pissed though as he fully booked up till middle of December.

I've used Rod or RME Valeting in Perth for years. Always does a fantastic job and has helped getting rid of some seagull sh1t that marked my paint.

He's a mobile guy but if he's doing a waxing or long valet he uses a little gazebo. He'll even come and clean at your workplace.

Richard is perfectionist, he really makes a car looking stunning. I would need to come back some time next year to put new coat.
