CORRECTION DETAIL

The aim with the correction detail is to remove as many paintwork defects as is safe to do so before refining the paint finish to a high gloss. There are no set number of 'stages' here, rather what ever products are needed to achieve the best finish possible will be used. Constantly checking the paintwork with a wide range of lighting to ensure every defect that can be removed, has been (expect to see a 95% improvement in most cases depending on the vehicle and condition).

The Wash

Wheels & tyres

Wheels & tyres cleaned using the latest purpose made wheel cleaning products and a wide range of safe brushes and tools to reach as far into the wheel barrels as possible with the wheels in situ. Wheels decontaminated using tar and fallout removal products and dried with filtered air and plush microfibre towels.

Upgrades

Convertible roof clean and protect
Fabric convertible roofs unless meticulously cared for will become contaminated with dirt, bird droppings and algae. The original protective coating from new is also likely to have worn away leaving the roof vulnerable to the elements. Upgrade your valet to have the roof of your car deep cleaned using a citrus based cleaner with an anti-mould inhibitor. Once dry a water repellent protector is applied.
Starting from £95.00

Engine bay
Enhance your valet with an element of detailing under the bonnet. From modern plastic-covered engines to intricate bays on many classics. Services range from a general good tidy to something far more in-depth. (while every precaution is taken, please be fully aware of the potential risks involved with cleaning engine bays).
Starting from £50.00

Headlamp restoration
Over the years plastic headlamps often become cloudy, faded and discoloured. Not only does this affect their efficiency but in extreme cases can become an MOT failure. Using the latest in wet sanding and polishing technologies the clarity can be restored to these headlamps and usually for a fraction of the cost and time required to replace them.
Starting from £30 per unit

Ceramic paint coating

Instead of the traditional wax or sealant, why not upgrade your detail to a ceramic coating. Choose from a number of coatings from Liquid elements or Feynlab. There are many benefits to choosing a coating over a wax. Here are a few.

- Durability. Ceramic coatings will outlast traditional waxes and sealants with a minimum durability of at least 12 months (depending on coating used and operating conditions).

- Scratch Resistance. Whilst far from scratch proof, many coatings will be more resistant to minor swirl marks induced by washing. Helping to keep the paintwork swirl free for longer.

- Maintenence. A vehicle protected with a ceramic coating should remain cleaner for longer and with its ability to resist contamination from bonding the weekly wash is much more pleasurable and less time-consuming.

Due to the nature of these products certain conditions must be met. Please contact us for details.
