WHAT IS DETAILING?
'Detailing' began on the west coast of the United States where car enthusiasts would maintain their cars to such a high standard that they would often be in better condition than they were in the dealership showroom.
Not to be confused with valeting, we specialise in machine polishing to correct the paint. Correction will remove paint defects such as swirl marks, light scratches, staining, water spots, UV damage, acidic staining, bird poo dropping stains, restoring your paint to a better-than-new condition.
Detailing is a meticulous and skilled process containing 3 main stages.
- Preparation
- Correction
- Protection
For most people, your vehicle will be the second largest purchase you make, after your house, so why treat it to careless roadside hand car wash, or an automatic drive through wash where the high speed brushes will cause havoc to your cars paintwork.
Ultimately, you get what you pay for. This image on the left illustrates the damage that can be done via careless machine 'mop'. This is mainly cuased by using the incorrect compounds and polishes, on the incorrect pads, using the wrong type of mahchines.
