JKP Detail - Detail Offer
Hi Folks.
I'd like to mirror the offer placed on RRS and FL2 on here.
The work on your car will include a proper wash, decontamination removal from paint of tree sap and other fallout particles, which will leave the paint smooth as glass to the touch. This will be followed up by a single stage machine polish which will remove light swirls, surface scratches and bring serious gloss to the finish.
The car will then be finished with a suitable glaze and wax/sealant combo suited to your paint type. This will leave an outstanding finish as well as making it easier for yourself to clean.
Alloy wheels will also be cleaned and have sealant applied, making brake dust build-up simple to remove.
Add to that an interior valet.
I can offer this for £250 for bookings between now and the end of July. I would need your car for the full day dropped off to me.
On top of that I can do leather treatments, although leather clean is part of the detail offered. The treatment is the application of a conditioner that naturally seals the leather. Especially good on Alpaca/light leathers as it slows down the dye transfer from clothes to seat. If booked at the time I can do this for half price at £20.
My diary is pretty full at the moment, with only the odd day here and there over the next few weeks, but the price stands after July if booked prior to then.
Best Regards, John

Just to add to the original post. If anyone wishes to get hands on with me and help out with the detail and learn a bit to keep on top of it yourself, then that's fine by me.
You'll be doing everything from proper wash techniques to claying and machine polishing

I wonder if you ran it as a training course instead of a straight purchase of a service if we couldn't get government funding for our (ahem) training/car detail I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.

Just had the detailing done to the old girl and WOW!! Great job, it really sorted out the bramble rash and scratches, paintwork looks better than I had on it when the car was new. Got loads of pics but can't post for a while as off on travels with only iPhone! John cue your pics!
it was good to learn from the dodo juice weilding master, and wasn't allowed to head on my way until all the dog slobber was banished. That reminds me, must find the couple of chips that escaped from tonight's F&C!!
Many thanks John, was a great day (and I have the sun burn to prove it) car is looking superb and me is one happy bunny!

I have John in action on the detailing on a little job he kindly did for me......
He is very thorough and it's obviously more a passion/hobby than just a business...

Just having a look over the pics and I really need to get my camera skills improved. Although the overcast skys when we finished seems to happen all the time now.
