Hi all, I could've sworn I saw someone advertising a complete car 'makeover' but I don't seem to be able to find it - 'you snooze, you loose'!

Can anyone please confirm, or failing that does anyone know who locally provides, or is willing to provide such a service? Unfortunately, I am severely limited in the use of one limb, so getting into 'nooks and crannies' when cleaning one's car is just one of the many things I am unable to do any more. Thanks in advance!
