Thanks for the comments and the link to Spirit Detailing - I'm going to use them instead, and not go with the dealer option.

I'll get Brian in Spirit to explain to me what I need to tell the dealer.

Cheers all!

I wouldn't worry about wax or anything needing to be stripped. The car will likely be washed with a strong shampoo solution which would remove wax and if that didn't do it then the claying surely would.

Claying won't remove any wax. It "floats" over the wax picking out any imperfections that have contaminated the paintwork.

I've also discovered www . cleanmycar . ie (sorry, cannot post URLs yet). Anybody tried them for the same thing as Spirit?

I guess it depends on the grade but standard clay is abrasive. Granted there are more effective ways but clay will definitely remove wax.

I don't know anything about them.
I've used Elite Autoclean in Blanchardstown a couple of times and they're excellent. I've not used kingpin (think they're near Sandyford) but they do good work though are pricey from what I've heard.
