Recommended as a yearly, or one-off treatment for your car, the Connoisseur detail is made up of 48 separate stages, including the paint correction process which totally removes all unsightly swirl marks, micro-marring, holograms, light scratches, bird stains and water marks before the Zymol is applied to the paintwork.

Estimated time: 1 day approx.

Suitable venue with proper facilities ??

What do you need ??

Use my place if you want.

8 cars on the driveway easily, garage and parking on the grass to the side of the house for another 20 cars ?? OK if it's dry, be pretty useless otherwise anyway.

Water, pressure washer, electricity, tea and coffee and toilets, plenty of room out the back for bbq and beers when finished ??
