New Car Prep/New member

Hi

Just joined the forum today, got my LBB LCI ordered for the second week of march! Can't wait and look forward to becoming a long term member of this forum.
I've told the dealer to leave all the stickers on the panels as I wanted to get the car prepped by a professional outfit. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on who I can take the car to for a full detail and ceramic coating? I'm based in london so anything nearby that comes reccomended would be great.
Offset detailing quoted me a whopping £2100 for front PPF cover and rest of the car done in ceramic coating. Which imo is way too expensive!

All replies will be much appreciated!

Regards

Ali

Not sure where you are in London but I got mine done (GTechniq) at Definitive Detail in Chelmsford. Paul who runs it is a top bloke (been detailing for years), he and his partner did a superb job, had my 03/17 LBB DCT for best part of a week and cost me less than half what you've been quoting. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Paul.

Hi,
Again depending on what side of london you are take a look here.
www.divinedetail.co.uk
Ed is a great guy and had 2 cars, mine & my dads, detailed by him, flawless both times. Thinking about getting my M2 done in the summer and he'll be first i call.

Hi and welcome. I found huge variance in pricing of new car protection details with ceramic coatings. I ended up using a company called Optimum Detailing in Cambridgeshire using Gyeon products inside and out for £350.

Thank you Tom, £350 is decent! I'll give them a shout 👍🏻

Seems everyone is getting their Baby M's detailed. Crystal Serum Light here, easy to buff off if I ever wanted it re-detailed!

never been a fan of ceramic coatings... I'm an ex detailer of exotic cars so know how to do full correction etc and i always prefer wax. What joy is there in never waxing the car again? After all we all love polishing cars right and seeing the end results.
