Detailing and Paint Correction

When your car comes to my studio it will undergo an exterior deep clean to remove all contaminants and any waxes or oils , stripping the paint back to its natural state , I then begin to work through it panel by panel cutting back and restoring the paint work to brand new depending on the selected package or agreed work and time allocated.

Once the initial time or work is completed I will then give it one final clean and inspection before a protection is laid down to aid keeping the paint In top condition.

I offer aftercare products designed to help you maintain the paintwork and offer a valeting service to help the upkeep.

Our Detailing Packages

*If you would like your car restored to show level or want it 100 percent corrected please call me or arrange an appointment to have it fully inspected so I can give you a precise quote. I offer wet sanding services also charged at an hourly rate.

Important Information About Our Enhancement Packages

Please be aware that machine polishing is carried out using various cutting techniques compounds and pads that all work differently on each vehicles different paint types.

Manufacturers all use different lacquers that produce different hardness and this also in turn can affect the ceramic toughness, 9h to 10h is expected .

This will also affect the final results based on a two day package and extra time can be given at a discounted hourly rate if asked for.

Also be aware that any previous coating will instantly have an effect on the job. For example I have removed previous coatings and it’s taken three days . Then I spend another two restoring and recoating the car.
