Wax oil recommendation

Hi folks,
Can anyone recommend somewhere that will wax oil my 944 for me? Everything's nice and rust free and I'd like to keep it that way, especially around the sills. As it looks very hard to get into all the hard to reach spots, I'd quite like it done professionally, especially after reading this :

Somewhere between Bristol and Birmingham would be ideal.
Cheers,
Bryan

One of our guys had his supersport done by Francis Tutthills at Warmington (near Banbury)
But might be worth talking to local motorhome dealers as they tend to get them done

Decided to give these guys
http://www.pcmworkshop.com/procedure/ as they're pretty local. Particularly like the attention to cavity areas such as the sills and the fact they keep it in overnight. Will report back if they're any good.
Cheers,
Bryan

Just reporting back on what I thought of PCM in Cheltenham after they waxoiled my car.
Was impressed that when the guy went to drive the car onto the ramp, he didn't need to look where the handbrake was. Turns out he used to have a 944 himself. He then showed me all the areas he'd be doing, such as brake lines and also the access points to the sills. He took before and after pictures to show what had been done. He's also suggested a check up each year to make sure it's doing its job.
Unfortunately for me, he's spotted some rust behind the rear wheel arch. It's actually on the surface that faces down, not facing the wheel. It's been brushed and treated before sealing. Will need doing properly though as these things only ever get worse, not better. Gave me a decent quote to sort it out. My car has been resprayed at some point in the past. It's a pretty good job actually, but they didn't do the front bumper and I can tell. Will get that done at the same place in the new year.
Got some good comments about the generally sound condition overall. He said he'd never seen one in this good nick for years.
Anyway, enough waffling about my car - just wanted to say that I'd recommend them.
Cheers,
Bryan
