I must confess, I only did the section of roof above the windscreen.

Shania Twain is a good start.

It was £130 to have it machine polished and a full interior valet. TBH I wish I had just either done it all myself or taken it to a proper detailer. Problem is the cost.

My preferred choice would have been KDS Keltec (http://www.kdskeltec.co.uk/price_menu.phtml) but as you can see I would have been looking at £455. Having seen their work on the detailing world forum though, it would have been something special.
