Yeah, Polished Bliss are based in Aberdeenshire in the North East of Scotland.
Loads of people on here will recommend Rich H, and best part is, he'll travel to you.

It really depends.
Sometimes its the person doing the detailing. Sometimes its another employee.
Polished Bliss now have 3 units next door to each other and maybe 5-6 employees, so there's normally always someone available to take a few shots as they go along.

It seems to be a common misconception on this site.
I think its partly because of some of the 6-7 day Ne Plus Ultra details i've posted in the past.
They are in the reigon of £2k. However, even they work out at a cheaper hourly rate. Just loads more work.

£280+ VAT (£336 all in) is a bloody good price.
I honestly expected double that.
Pity hes a bit to far up.

Still good to see the before and after pics

You'd be surprised at how many customers like to see a documented article of the work carried out on their car.
Plus its not all for publicity. There are a lot of DIY detailers who learn from reading write-ups.
They are always happy to offer help & advice in their threads.
