Paint a Thickness Gauge in use

This detail encompasses numerous major tasks in order to provide protection to the paint and other areas of the vehicle such as alloy wheels, glass and other areas. This detail has been specifically designed in order for protection to be offered which can last up to 6 months.

  • Firstly the vehicle is rinsed and then using water foaming wash in order to remove dirt and debris from the bodywork, wheels and arches.
  • The wheels are now cleaned using a specific acid-free wheel cleaning agent in order for the wheels to look their best.
  • The vehicle is then rinsed and washed again using the 2BM (2 Bucket Method) one bucket with shampoo and one with clean water so that dirt is not washed from the bucket onto the bodywork.
  • The vehicle is then hand dried using plush microfibers.
  • We then clay the bodywork to remove any bonded surface contaminants such as tar and tree sap, which leaves these surfaces feeling perfectly smooth.
  • The next step is then for the car to be polished in order to mask any minor defects such as minor swirl marks and light scratches as well as to enhance gloss and the readiness for the application of the sealant or wax.
  • Then two coats of high quality wax or sealant are applied to the bodywork, this not only enhances the appearance of the paint but as well provides protection to the paint for up to six months at a time.
  • We then finish the exterior detail by sealing the wheels which provides protection from brake dust and other elements as well as dressing the tyres, arches and engine bay and polishing the exhaust tips (if applicable).
  • Finally we clean, dress and vacuum the interior.

The entire procedure takes around 6 hours and can usually be completed within one day

For large 4x4 vehicles it typically takes an additional 2 hours and will cost an additional £40

Specifically designed to provide the best base for the start of your vehicles life so that it can be easily maintained and still retain that new car look and feel.

After a full decontamination process removing any contaminants your car may have picked up it is then sealed with a long term polymer sealant which not only protects your vehicles paintwork from the harsh elements, it also makes it easier to clean in the future.  For extra protection and even more gloss to the paintwork a layer of premium carnauba wax is applied, left to cure and then buffed off. The Alloy Wheels are also treated with a layer of polymer sealant as well as all external glass, leaving all aspects of the exterior protected.

The interior of the car also is thoroughly protected with all fabrics being treated with a nano coating which leaves the texture and appearance of the fabric unaffected but the likes of wine, coffee etc. simply rolls off the surface and can be wiped away with a damp cloth with zero staining. Any Leather is also treated with a Leather Guard which greatly reduces instances of wear through on prone areas of leather.

Paintwork Correction Services

These details focus upon the improvement of paintwork condition. This is done by the removal of fine scratches, swirls, etching and paint defects, all of which can be caused by commercial car washes and poor washing technique - e.g. brushes, brittles and grit etc in sponges. These details are suited to new and used vehicles that suffer from defects in the paintwork finish.

 

Super-premium carnauba wax used for protection. Provides a long lasting and durable shine

A service specifically catering for the customer that wants to see significant improvement within the appearance of their paintwork without having to go to the extent of a Full Paintwork Correction Detail.

After a full thorough 15 stage wash over all, the vehicle = is removed of any tar, iron and fall out contaminants then clayed to leave the perfect base to enhance and remove defects within the paintwork.

A two stage machine correction approach is taken where the first stage removes a good percentage of the paintwork defects (Swirl Marks, Light scratches, etching etc) and then the second stage refines and provides that high gloss finish.

The vehicle is dusted down to remove any polishing dust and then given a layer of sealant or wax depending upon the owner’s preference to provide great protection to help protect the vehicles new finish.
