They do these types of retail outlets well in the States, but they aren\u2019t so well-known here in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>Well, Slim\u2019s Detailing has a shop to rival the best American outlets and when I\u2019m in the North London area I head for Slim\u2019s base in Enfield for a look around and inevitably end-up coming out with a few bottles of brightly coloured elixirs and potions.<\/p>\n<p>Slim\u2019s Detailing is part of the Morelli Group started way back in 1957 by one Slim Moring, who began his motoring career working for Harold Radford Coachbuilders before going onto start his own crash repair business.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.totalkitcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/m117601-main.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-15382\" src=\"https:\/\/www.totalkitcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/m117601-main-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.totalkitcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/news_slims_3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-15381\" src=\"https:\/\/www.totalkitcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/news_slims_3-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>He\u2019d always clean the paint with T-Cut and polish them to a fine, glossy finish but he was often frustrated at not being able to get the polishes and car parts he required when he wanted them. Frustrated, he set-up The Morelli Group so that \u2018Your stock is at the end of a telephone\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>His customers could expect to get the service and products that others couldn\u2019t supply easily and the company grew in size quickly. Today, the Moring family still owns the company and have fourteen branches around the UK.<\/p>\n<p>Incidentally, the Morelli name is a conflation of Slim\u2019s name \u2018MORing and that of his partner; ELLIs and Slim\u2019s Detailing was set up several years ago, in Slim\u2019s honour, to service the professional detailer, DIY amateur and general enthusiast alike with all the car care stuff they desired.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ve been doing a pretty good job since and old Slim would definitely be very proud.<\/p>\n<p>More information from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slimsdetailing.com\/\">www.slimsdetailing.com<\/a>\u00a0or 0333 222 9944 <strong>ENDS.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Slim\u2019s Detailing is one of my favourite outlets for car care stuff, with no fewer than 48 brands stocked including Britemax, Poorboy\u2019s World, Menzerna, GTechniq <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/2018\/08\/16\/one-stop-care-care-shop\/\" title=\"ONE STOP CAR CARE SHOP\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15379","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15379","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15379"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15379\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15379"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15379"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15379"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
