Annual trip to the detailers

Collected the car after another week at KDS, again sterling service and a very shiny car. This is how it's looking now at 3 years old and 45K miles:

Looks splendid! Nothing like a nice detail, how often have you been with the same firm, just this car.

I've got to be honest though I'd have a word with them leaving it in the middle of forest for you!

When it was new it had a full wet sand and detail using Gtechniq products including crystal serum and Exo. I can't recall the exact amount but I think it was around £2.5K, this latest valet and top up was a smidgen over £300.

Just this car, three years, the previous two went there too though. This one goes there each year for a valet/check up/top up - they basically do what's needed within reason to get it looking good again. This time they polished the bumper which needed it from dead bugs. The bonnet would have benefited it but the cost/benefit wasn't worth it as I'd then need to pay for new coatings which it didn't need, maybe next year.

Stunning car, love to see a car that's been around the block and looks brand new!

Absolutely stunning, well done on keeping a great car in fantastic condition. I'm not going to be able to look my unwashed and unpolished car in the headlight this morning, poor thing!
