Car detailing is so much more than a regular wash. It’s a thorough, meticulous process that cleans, enhances, and protects every inch of your vehicle—inside and out. From gleaming paintwork and spotless wheels to crystal-clear glass and a refreshed interior, detailing restores your car’s beauty and keeps it looking its best.

Whether it’s removing paint imperfections, deep-cleaning upholstery, or preparing your car for long-lasting protection like ceramic coating or PPF, detailing not only improves the look and feel of your vehicle but also helps maintain its value over time.

Give your car the care it deserves — and enjoy driving something that feels as good as new.

Your vehicle is then pressure washed to rinse of the snow foam and majority of dirt will be removed to minimise swirl marks when washed.

 

Using a seperate bucket Door shuts and wheel arches are then cleaned, along with the alloys and insides of wheels which are cleaned with acid free wheel cleaner.

 

Next there is a multi-stage two bucket wash using a wash mitt, each panel is washed with PH neutral shampoo, the mitt is then rinsed between panels in a clean bucket of water with a grit guard to minimise paint damage.
