New Car Detail

Has anyone had a new car detail carried out at the dealership before collection? I don't really fancy the chaps at the dealership washing my new car

Any recommendations on who to use?

If you bought it from Tony he can organise a detailer to come in for a reasonable price, I did with mine.

DDB at Silverlink have done a couple of mine, no problems. David prefers to take it to his own unit but that shouldn't be a problem just ask the dealership not to do the decontamination clean

Thanks.
