Detailing
Detailing is the process of improving the condition of the interior and exterior of your vehicle.
On the exterior, paintwork is thoroughly cleaned using multiple processes to achieve the best result possible. This can be further enhanced by single or multi-stage paint correction, achieving a rich deep shine to your paintwork. It's then protected using a wax, paint sealant or ceramic coating. Convertible hoods are cleaned using a specialist cleaner and protector, maintaining it's condition and protecting it, and exterior glass is cleaned thoroughly and treated with a specialist glass hydrophobic coating. Wheels are cleaned, polished and protected using a sealant.
On the interior, a deep clean is performed to remove dirt and stains, and products are used to enhance the finish of the interior panels. Leather seats are cleaned and given a balm to prevent drying out and maintain their condition. Cloth seats are protected using a fabric protector, ensuring that spills are not absorbed by the fabric. Interior glass is cleaned and an anti-fogging treatment is used.
Vehicles need to be inspected prior to carrying out these services. This assesses the vehicle's condition and what is required in terms of treatments to achive the best results. A quote will then be provided based on time to carry out the work and the size of the vehicle.
Most new vehicles will also require some treatment. This is because vehicle cleaners at the dealership don't take care of vehicles when they clean them, and end up putting swirl marks and scratches on the paintwork.

Coatings
Paint Sealants are designed to protect the exterior of your vehicle's paint for up to 12 months. They provide an invisible hydrophobic coating with a high level of beading, so the results are more than visible of them protecting your paintwork from the elements
Glass coatings provide a hydrophobic coating that improves visibility, especially in adverse weather conditions. They will help your wipers clear the screens and keep your side windows clearer, meaning enhanced visibility.
Wheel sealants are used to provide protection to your alloy wheels. They provide a hydrophobic barrier that repels dirt, brake dust, tar, bugs, road salt, ice and more.
Ceramic Coating
Ceramic Coatings are designed to lock in a perfect finish for years. They will make your paintwork shine, and provide a hydrophobic coating that will protect your vehicle's finish from road grime and the elements and in the long term.
They are relatively expensive, but provide unparalelled protection and durability.
Before a Ceramic Coating is applied, your vehicle's paintwork will need preparation.
This will require some or all of the following procedures.
