I like to think of detailing as a personal experience. You're handing, essentially a member of the family, or one of your biggest investments over to someone for normally a few days, so for me its important for you to know who's going to be giving the upmost of care to your pride and joy.
My Story
I have always had a passion for cars and anything with wheels and an engine. I started cleaning them from a young age, running around peoples houses during primary school holidays with the horrific black bucket and yellow sponge we all know, charging £1 for a "valet". Those were the days.
It was this early introduction to the world of detailing and valeting that sparked my creativity and led me to develop my own unique style.
Growing up I developed a huge interest in caring for and appreciating everything you have, especially your car. So it gave me great pride in cleaning and maintaining parents cars, my own bikes, paying attention to the finer details along the way. Years down the line, Noticing an obvious passion, interest and skill in detailing, friends and family recommended I start trying to make a living off of it, so that's where the idea began. And after years of perfecting my own style and techniques on my personal vehicles, I finally decided to start up JDS to set a new standard and to showcase my own take on Automotive detailing.
Years later JDS has now become a renowned company for maintaining some of the highest standards in the country, being shortlisted for "Start Up Business Of The Year" for Wales, receiving Millions of £'s worth of vehicles through its doors and to this day, is still being ran from nothing other than the same passion that started it all of.
