What does Detailing involve?

Detailing involves the cleaning and restoring of a vehicle to reach the optimum “Showroom Shine”, sometimes even exceeding the original condition of the painted surfaces, wheels, tyres, windows and other visible surfaces. There are three main stages to Detailing, Cleaning, Preparation and Protection.

Cleaning

The process involves thoroughly cleaning the surfaces, using PH Neutral Pre-Washes and Shampoos to break down dirt and that are safe for the environment, Two Bucket Wash Methods with grit guards to prevent adding swirls. Tar, Tree Sap and other embedded contaminants are removed using specialist products such as Detailing Clay, tar and fallout removers. This process involves using a variety of tools such as Lambswool Mitts, Detailing Brushes and Plush Microfiber cloths.

Preparation

The Vehicle is then thoroughly dried using Plush Drying towels to help reduce swirls and followed up by carefully examining the painted surfaces under high intensity lighting, then  Multiple Stage Machine Polishing follows this using various top quality pads and polishing products to achieve the best possible finish.

Protection

The paintwork and other surfaces are then treated to a Protection Stage to help prevent further damage and make the vehicle a lot easier to maintain in the future. The Protection can differ from top of the range Carnauba Wax’s for a high gloss finish to Ceramic Coatings to provide Highly Durable Gloss finishes that can last years. The Protection process is ideally done in our studio for optimum results.
