Review: Dave did a great job on my white Audi S5 Sportback. Immaculately presented having had full paint correction and Titan dual layer quartz carbon coating on paint, wheels and glass. Dave also arranged to have some small dents removed and now the whole car looks amazing inside and out. Dave was happy to give advice and was a genuinely nice guy to deal with. Thank you.

Review: Dave's detailing work on my car was exceptional. His attention to detail allows him to ensure extremely high standards. His experience and knowledge allowed to him to determine the best detailing and paint correction, to prepare the car for PPF, after which Dave applied ceramic coating to the body and wheels. The car being black, now has a great high gloss finish. Thanks Dave, and the ProCare Team. Highly recommended. Car: Porsche 911 Turbo S

Review: Dave runs an excellent operation here. He is diligent, careful and takes the time and pride in his work to turn in an outstanding job. My car now looks better than new - outside, inside and under the bonnet. This was no rushed job. It's time consuming work, so he's deservedly always busy but booking ahead is definitely worth the wait. The spotless workshop combined with his knowledge and easy going style makes him a pleasure to do business with. Your car will be in excellent hands and will leave looking better than you imagine it could.

Review: Took our new BMW here 2 years ago for the New Car Protection. Dave done an outstanding job, correcting a standard blemish and then detailing. The ceramic coating means the car continues to be an ease to clean - nothing sticks! I've even had comments about the quality of BMW's paint, to which I've pointed out it was Dave's work that made it look that good, not BMW! Having recently purchased a second (used) car and seeing how the water just sits on this compared to how it beads and runs off our ceramic coated car, I had no hesitation in contacting Dave - this time to go for a full paint correction and ceramic coat and have no doubt it'll look better than when it came off the production line by the time Dave is done with it.

Review: Dave's knowledge and experience really are demonstrated in the quality of his work, which is outstanding to say the least. I'm often very reluctant to leave my car with any third party but Dave put me completely at ease and the results following the paint correction were stunning; resulting in my car being restored to its original finish if not better! If you're after a reliable, friendly and professional service, with top quality results, look no further than Ideal Valeting.
