Definitely take it to them. The on site guys are good, but the proper places are better. No, I don't have a recommendation as to which.

You won't get "as new", but you will get very good, if you stipulate, and then you pay. Personally, I would avoid using anyone the car yards use, unless you find one that does very high end stuff, as they tend to use glossy sprays to mask their lack of any real work. Ask the Porsche or BMW dealers who they use.
Proper detailing should be expensive.

I agree with JT on this. There are possibly some very good mobile guys out there, but they need space and to be under cover along with time.

I seem to recall a mob in the vicinity of Brunswick Road and Grantham Street (Brunswick) who were formerly mobile detailers. Perhaps my memory suggests it was Final Finish?

If it is the case, they did our D2 twice after trips to northern climes and did a great job. But as JT said, it was not a cheapie.

I had Stewart from carcare come out to my place and did a full detail inc paint protection, he was pretty reasonable and did a fantastic job, the car was undercover when he did it though!
