What does detailing involve?

Preparing

Preparation starts with a deep clean of the exterior of your car. It isn’t just a normal safe wash, but a detailed cleaning of areas that don’t get much attention. Door shuts, panel gaps, grills, badges etc are carefully cleaned to make sure they are spotlessly clean.

Once your car is clean we move on to the decontamination process. Over a period of time your car’s paintwork and picks up metallic and organic particles that bond to the surface and can’t be removed by washing alone. Decontamination is carried out using a combination of chemical and mechanical processes that leave your car silky smooth to the touch. It’s a bit like exfoliating your skin and is a critical step to ready your car for machine polishing.

During this stage your wheels are removed for cleaning and ceramic coating. We clean the wheel arches and ceramic coat painted brake calipers at this point too.

Perfecting

Most of the time that goes into detailing sits here. Perfection is about making everything look as good as it can and the biggest part of that is paint correction. We use a combination of techniques, products and machines to achieve the quality of finish you have chosen.

We offer three levels of paint correction with each being aimed at different needs and budgets. We can spend as much as 50 hours just machine polishing to perfect your car’s paintwork.

Level 1 is a single-stage machine polish which will typically achieve 70%+ paint correction. This process reduces paint defects, restores colour vibrancy, and enhances paint clarity.

Level 2 is a two-stage machine polish which will deliver 90%+ paint correction. This will leave your car’s paintwork looking better than it did when it left the factory, and it is the service we carry out most often.

Level 3 is a multi-stage machine polishing process capable of achieving up to 100% paint correction. At this level it takes as long as it takes to achieve painstaking perfection.

For those seeking a true, mirror-like finish, we offer wet sanding. This service flattens the ‘orange peel’ texture found on modern water-based paints creating a flawless, glassy appearance. This process is the same as that used by the likes of Aston Martin, Bentley, and Rolls Royce. It is really only suitable for cherished cars.

Protecting

Protecting your car is as important as servicing. Once we have made it look as good as it can we treat every area with surface specific coatings. And they don’t just look fantastic, they offer high-quality protection and make your car easier to keep clean. Unlike waxes and synthetic sealants our ceramic coatings provide robust, long-lasting protection that is measured in years rather than weeks.

Whilst there is a lot of choice when it comes to paint protection we will guide you to the right solution for your needs.
