Car Detailing
WHAT IS DETAILING?
Over time a vehicles appearance will gradually deteriorate for a variety of reasons. These including environmental factors, poor washing technique (£5 hand car washes cause the majority of issues we see) and accidental damage. Swirls, scratches and other defects combined with bonded contaminants such as tar and tree sap rob the vehicle of its true potential.
Car detailing looks to turn back the clock, and through a combination of techniques, restore the vehicle back to its former glory then protect it for the future with our protective ceramic coatings.
WHAT TO CHOOSE?
Car Detailing is a sliding scale, our Detailing packages consist of 3-Steps:
Step 1 - What is required to restore the vehicle to its former glory (cleaning & polishing)
Step 2 - What Protection options would you like (paintwork, glass, interior, alloys etc)
Step 3 - Extras (Stone chip repairs, Alloy wheel refurbishment, vinyl wrapping etc)
We use our years of experience to create a bespoke plan for your vehicle combining factors such as the current condition of your vehicle, its value, how long you are looking to keep the vehicle, timescales and of course budget.
Don't worry if you're not sure which option is best for you. Simply contact us to arrange a free consultation and we can talk you through the various options available.
