Services

The work, in detail.

What each job is, what it includes and what it starts at. Most cars need more than one, which is what the packages are for.

Wash & decontaminate

Most of the marks on a car were put there by washing it. So we touch the paint as little as we can: foam first to lift the grit, then a hand wash with two buckets and a clean mitt for every panel.

After that come the things a wash leaves behind. Iron remover for brake dust, a solvent for tar, and a clay bar until the paint feels like glass under your fingers.

  • Snow foam pre-wash
  • Two-bucket hand wash
  • Iron and tar removal
  • Clay bar
  • Wheels, arches and door shuts

Paint correction

Correction is polishing with a purpose. We measure how much clear coat each panel has, then take off only as much as the defect needs: one stage for light swirls, two for paint that has had a hard life.

It is slow work under strong lights, and it is the difference between a clean car and one that looks wet.

  • Paint depth readings, panel by panel
  • One or two stages of machine polishing
  • Trim and badges masked
  • Panel wipe before any protection

Ceramic coating

A coating locks in whatever is under it, so it only ever goes on over corrected paint. It is applied a panel at a time, levelled by hand and cured under lamps before the car leaves the bay.

What you get is paint that sheds water, washes in half the time and keeps its gloss between visits. It is not armour: it will not stop a stone chip, and we will tell you so.

  • Two-stage correction first
  • Coating on paint, wheels and glass
  • Cured under infrared lamps
  • A wash and inspection at one month
A clean cabin with tan leather seats

Interior detail

Everything comes out that can come out. Carpets and seats are extracted, vents and switches are steamed, and leather is cleaned with a soft brush and fed, not dressed to a shine.

The aim is a cabin that looks and smells like nothing at all: no gloss on the dash, no perfume, just clean.

  • Vacuum and air purge
  • Steam on vents, switches and seals
  • Carpets and fabric extracted
  • Leather cleaned and conditioned
  • Glass inside and out

How a detail runs

One booking, start to finish.

Whatever you book, the car goes through the same stages in the same order. The package decides how far each one goes.

  1. Inspect

    We walk the car with you, measure the paint and agree the plan and the price before anything is touched.

    20 min
  2. Decontaminate

    Foam, hand wash, iron remover and clay, until the paint is bare and smooth to the touch.

    2–3 hr
  3. Correct

    Machine polishing, panel by panel, taking off only as much clear coat as the defect needs.

    4–12 hr
  4. Protect & hand back

    Sealant or ceramic coating, cured under lamps, then a walk-round with you and a care sheet.

    2–6 hr
