In Detail
Is This the Right Package for Your Car?
Who it's for
This is our most-booked detailing package — for a car with visible swirl marks, light scratches or a dull finish that a wash alone can't fix, where you want genuine long-term protection rather than a wax that washes off in weeks.
When to choose something else
If your paint doesn't have visible swirls or scratches and just needs a refresh, our Gloss Enhancement package is cheaper and quicker. If your paint has deeper, more visible defects, our Stage 2 Machine Polish & Ceramic Coating corrects up to 95%+. If your car is brand new or under 1,000 miles, our New Car Protection package includes everything here plus a 7-year coating and full interior detail as standard.
What the visit looks like
A full 6–8 hour visit. We decontaminate the paint with a clay bar before any polishing touches it, then machine polish to correct swirls and restore gloss, inspect under lighting, and apply a 2-year ceramic coating once we're happy with the finish.
What you're left with
A genuinely corrected, glass-like finish with 2 years of ceramic protection against UV, road salt and everyday contamination — with the option to upgrade to 7-year protection or add glass/wheel coatings at booking.
