Ben did a brilliant job, my ford spends most of its life full of muddy dogs and muddy people but he managed to make it look fantastic, really pleased I took it there.Posted on A CTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My work horse Ford needed cleaning up to assist with a repair. Ben made the oil soaked engine bay look brand new!!… and the wheels too. Outstanding work that far exceeded my expectations. Will 100% be going back to Ben!Posted on Ross AdamsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

A fantastic job car looks brand new well worth the investment !Posted on Carmel GreenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really done a lovely job with my car. Left it with a mirror shine finish and got rid of all the swirl marks in the paint from lack of proper detailing by the main dealer when purchased in Jan. Also applied a 7 year ceramic coating to make cleaning a dream and leave water beading off it. My car looks beautiful thank you xx
