Great spec - love the interior Thumbs Up

I think you should get the leather protected but not sure about the who.

Amazing car. Look forward to the day I can afford to spend that on a new car.

In terms of the leather protection these people operate nationwide and do work for the trade.

I am thinking about a new car detailing with GTechniq at Bellissimoto. Does anyone have an opinion on if this is a good idea or just a waste of time? I want the car to look as good as possible for as long as possible))

Having a new car detailed is only worth it if you are able / willing to put in some time and effort subsequently. Detailing is not a magic shine to which no dirt ever sticks Yes, it will be easier to wash, the wheels will be easier to clean and so on, but you will still have to put some hours in on a fortnightly basis to keep on top if it.
The detailer will make the car look a million dollars, flat back any imperfections etc.....and take £800 off you (ish)

As a bit of a luddite when it comes to cars I'm of the opinion that you buy them to drive them and not look at them (obviously some exceptions when it comes to collectibles). Whether you have it detailed or not it will pick up stone chips, dings, road rash etc. and you will never get the money back on a professional detail but your car will look beautiful until you drive it in mucky weather and have to wash it yourself.

Any car will look good for longer if you wash it yourself, avoid car washes and the Eastern European gritty sponge brigade and use the method for washing described elsewhere on the forum (one of Col's I think).

I have never had a car detailed and nor have I have ever had any money knocked off for its condition when it came to PX or sell.

Entirely up to you and, if you have money to burn, why not?
