Sounds quite normal, but I wouldn't be surprised if you can find some enthusiastic detailers nearby who will do it for a lot less!
Full Detail : £400!

If your going to pay that much, go to the best

Dalton is the bloke that does the super expensive detail, but for £400ish he will do a pretty amazing job.

That sound like really good value...
Edit just checked.... He travels up to 50 miles F.O.C and then 50p per mile after.
Shame I am 150 miles away

I still remember the job you did on your MR2 by hand which was impressive, I severely doubt being able to see £400 worth of difference if a pro had done it.

Thoughts?
Even Dick Turpin had the decency to wear a pointy hat and a mask.
I'd like to book you for the first weekend in August.Sod that, i'd charge no more than £20 and blow job, and probably still do half a good a job if you are lucky
Yeah to be honest that was my reaction
I've already heard from Lee and he sounds solid. He said that it would be slightly more than £150 as BMW's have much harder paint so it will take him longer to machine the car which sound completely reasonable to me.
I've wanted to have it done for ages and I think once it's been done once I could keep it swirl free, very tempted for around the £200 mark.
Oh look at what car is in the gallery.....(yes, that's mine)

Believe me you could. The MR2 was good, but compared to how the Elise looks after Paul had done it the difference is night and day.
Got a quote:-
Exterior
• Hot Snow foam pre wash
• Bodywork washed with Meguiars Conditioning Shampoo and deep pile wash mitt
• Wheels treated and cleaned with acid free wheel cleaner
• Wheel arches treated and cleaned, High pressure hot pre-rinse
• Claybar cleansing paintwork then rinsing
• Bodywork Hand dried with Microfibre drying towels
• Machine cutting/polishing paintwork to remove oxidised paintwork and swirl marks
• Inspecting paintwork then removal of any remaining defects before glazing
• Zymöl HD Clense paintwork to remove oxidised paint and light swirls
• Hand application of Carnauba before buffing using Pakshak MF towels
• All mouldings, doors, boot and bonnet seals cleaned and dressed
• Tyres and alloys dressed
• Polishing of glass and chrome exterior trims
between £180/220 which I think it pretty good tbh, going to book Lee's next available date which he indicated should be mid April.

His work is awesome, his S2000 is absolutely pristine. I think he has it for sale actually.
This looks good for £50 http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=100114
