Cushendall based Total Perfection was in the driving seat at this year’s UAE Concours d’elegance, scooping seven awards for skills in detailing the world’s rarest cars.
With 3,000 guests and 56 manufacturers, UAE Concours d’elegance year of Zayed is a three-day global event which showcases the world’s rarest classic and bespoke and the latest products and design ideas for luxury brands including Porche, Lamborghini and Ferrari.
Total Perfection was invited by their main product supplier, Kamikaze Collection, alongside six other detailers from Norway, Japan and Hong Kong to assist in preparing the Kamikaze Collection of cars, worth over $50m dollars.
Total Perfection launched 13 years ago as a mobile car detailing company and is now named as the only International Detailing Association accredited detailers for Rupes, Swissvax and the Kamikaze Collection.
Total Perfection has previously worked with Top Gear and Fast and Furious Live.
Mark Smiley, Managing Director of Total Perfection said it only takes a simple idea that you are passionate about when it comes to running a business.
“The only difference between us and our competition is that we take extra care on every project that we work on no matter how big or small, whether it’s working for the global leaders in car manufacturing or for the local people in County Antrim, it’s all the same high level of customer service and that is something that we pride ourselves on,” he said.
Continuing the success during the show, vehicles that Mark personally worked on won the best in show with a Porche 356, the best detailed with a Porche 964 and the best European with a Porche 959.
“I couldn’t be prouder of what we achieved in Dubai. The competition was fierce and for our team to walk away with seven awards is incredible and the fact that I can say that three were for the work I completed is just the icing on the cake.

“I would just like to thank the Kamikaze team for inviting Total Perfection and giving us the opportunity to showcase our skills on the world stage. It’s an amazing event and I am delighted that Total Perfection could be a part of it,” he added.
