That is really impressive Vince and I would still like you to tackle my lhd S1 24v sometime!! With regards, Matthew T.

Thankyou and it would be my pleasure Matthew ; )

Excellent work again, Vince. My V6 could look so much better.

I've just had a look through your site and can only say the results that you produce are absolutely stunning.

I can heartily vouch for Vince's work, it is of a great standard and reasonable too. Most other detailers would need the car in for much longer and would be a lot more. When I get my SM touched up, now it is back hopefully for a long time, I will get Vince to give it his best over a weekend, it is a lot of metal!

That's amazing. Great work.

Vince has done two of my cars now and will be doing at least another 2 for me as well, mainly to prep them for sale as the money I feel is WELL worth it! one of my friends has had a good few vehicles done by Vince and generally before they are sold and just like me agrees the money spent is well worth it as you get a better than new looking car for a week or two before its sold and it certainly helps show how much you care for the car

Guys, your too kind

I will admit i do a thorough job and im probably too cheap, but i have always disagreed with some of the prices other detailing guys charge.

What fueled the whole Pallas thing in the first place is having a perfectly finished paintjob should be something any car owner with even limited budgets should be able to achieve and enjoy, thats the whole thing with us car people...we help each other enjoy our cars the most we can...whether mechanically helping fix things we cant do ourselves, or sourcing parts, and cleaning them up to perfection.

Before i learnt to do this stuff i couldnt afford to get my own car done as it was so damn expensive. Ive seen people charging £500 to do what i do on a car....What planet are they on This puts it financially out of reach for most people and most cars.

It should be more accessible in my opinion. For that reason i estimate the price based on the time its going to take, and also the budget the customer has...its not about being cheaper to secure the job, its making sure they can achieve what they want for a price that works for both of us.

Charles....a couple of days on your sm is good thinking....thats a splended machine and one to be taken time over....i hate rushing jobs...takes the enjoyment out of it. We will make it the best finished sm in the country
