Covered space for detailing - advice/recommendations

Featured Replies

I'm about to pick up my new Superb and am looking to do some of the more tedious detailing & protection bits myself (such as the ceramic/carriage etc).

 

Currently I live on a new build estate that is dusty in the open air - of course, not the ideal environment to be letting stuff settle on uncured treatment - the Fabia lives by virtue of it being tiny and panel>panel takes minutes (and it was 'treated' on arrival). The Superb is black too, so I want to get this first bit right otherwise I'm going to have an everlasting nightmare making it look good again.

 

What options do I have in the north of England if I want to do this myself, without someone else doing the work for me? A marquee?

I've tried googling "warehouse space" and "workshop space" both of which would probably be a bit miffed if I show up with 3 buckets and a pressure washer...

 

Advice greatly appreciated!

When replacing the dilapidated garage in our new home, I looked at something like this;

Eventually I settled on getting a Carport. Oh, and monoblocking as the previous occupant w quite happy parking his car on unsecured concrete slabs!

Know what you mean about dusty new build estates. About the worst place to try and clean/detail a car...

 

As it'll be a temporary issue, I'd simply go round to a friend's place and work on the car there. There's no temporary structures or anything that I'd want to use and the dust will still be in the air anyway.

Rent a storage locker for a few days, some offer space for silly money like £7 a week

Thanks @Vrsboi - there’s on just around the corner (as as around the corner as you get for North Yorkshire, so I’ll give them a bell in more social hours!

 

They offer their own detailing services for long storage so hopefully, fingered crossed, they’ll be fine with me for a day.
