Car Detailing

Unlike your average supermarket car wash, who jump straight in scrubbing your expensive paintwork with contaminated sponges, car detailers have perfected the process of lifting and removing dirt from any vehicle without causing lasting damage to the paint. Advanced cleaning products, usually foam applied with a lance, are used to break dirt down and prepare the paintwork for further treatment.

Clay bar detailing products are used to remove the unseen dirt from your car, motorbike or van, often called paint contamination, which will noticeably smooth the surface and allow a much deeper shine. It is not until a clay bar is used that you really notice the dirt that still exists on your paint. The paint will even feel smooth to the touch in comparison to untreated paint areas. It is essential to carry out any clay bar processes properly so leave it to your detailing professional.

Machine polishing is often referred to in stages, ie a stage 1 polish, which does what it says on the tin and is the amount of stages carried out. Each pass with a machine polisher will take the paint correction further, with a multistage machine polish capable of correcting paintwork to 95% perfection. This is a highly skilled process and should not be attempted as part of DIY vehicle care without proper guidance.

With all of the deep cleaning polishing taken care of, the process of bringing a high gloss finish and paint protection is carried out by using high end waxes and/or sealants such as nano technology and ceramic coatings. These products, when professionally applied, will bring extreme shine to your paint whilst solidifying as hard as concrete to add a barrier between the elements and your paint.

Your engine bay is most likely the last place you consider cleaning on your average Sunday morning car cleaning session but even under the bonnet can benefit from professional cleaning and treatment processes that will help protect the car and help hold its value. This is ideal for high end vehicles and super cars where any additional depreciation is definitely not wanted.

Automotive detailing is usually thought of as mostly paint correction and protection services, which is not far wrong, but we must remember that we spend the most time inside our vehicles as apposed to just looking at them (well, some of us do…) so an interior detail is a beautiful thing to have done. The process will deep clean every surface and return that new car feeling.

Your alloy wheels are an expensive part of your car and are also a major part of the styling, clean wheels always look better. Detailers are able to deep clean your wheels and make them look as good as new as well as applying some advanced protection techniques, similar to those used on your paintwork.  This will keep your wheels looking great for longer and prevent dirt from clinging to the surface.

The process of dressing is restoring the deep finish of interior and exterior trim and tyres. Faded and dis-coloured trim can soon diminish the look of a vehicle and using quality products and processes to restore this a highly effective part of your automotive detailing service.
