I'm sure the above are very good,but,have a look at KDS in Gillingham,acknowledged as one of-if not the- best in the business.

Thanks to S4driver & Sims - Just been to visit KDS this afternoon and booked in for a detail in April.

They already had another RS6 in there OV04 ***, RS4 up on the lift and then another RS6 saloon parks up after quick intro turns out to be "elringo"

A word of caution though.

I know from people who have had their cars worked on at KDS and others of that standard - the car comes back so immaculate that you may not want to use it. :lol:

Look forward to seeing the final result. :)

I can see how that could happen, the cars they had finished looked almost surreal.

I'll take and then upload some pictures when its done - before the drive back to Broadstairs - knowing my luck 60 miles backdown the M2/A2/A299 and it will be p***ing down

Hi one and all. That's my car, the red S4 in the pictures. Kelly detailed it a few weeks ago. I cannot recommend him highly enough! I'm totally anal about my cars and have never let anyone do such a thing - always done it myself. But after meeting him and seen the passion and work...there was no question!

Over the moon with the results. Like someone above said - it was SO good I'm now scared of washing it and putting some scratches back in. Got the wheels done at the same time as Lepsons are right next to KDS, so that worked well too.

I should stress, I'm nothing to do with Kelly/KDS, just over the moon with the service and result I got so thought I'd share!

I did notice a couple of RS' these past weeks at KDS....a greay RS6, black RS4 when mine was in?

Anyhow, I've read this site a fair few times looking for info on my car, and it's been helpful, so thought I'd join up and share - especially as my thread was linked to!

Thanks again
Tony
