Premium car care, done properly.
Expert detailing designed to protect, enhance & maintain your vehicle
We provide specialist detailing services that restore clarity, elevate appearance, and protect your car inside and out. Whether you need a full paint correction, ceramic coating, or a deep clean, our team delivers consistent, high-quality results with industry-leading products and techniques.
Paint correction detail
Restore clarity, depth, and a true showroom finish. Our paint correction detail removes swirl marks, light scratches, and imperfections caused by washing, age, and environmental exposure. Using advanced machine polishing techniques, we safely refine paintwork to bring back a smooth, mirror-like gloss.
Paint enhancement detail
Perfect for vehicles that need a refresh rather than full correction. Our enhancement detail boosts gloss, improves clarity, and removes light defects, leaving your paintwork noticeably brighter and smoother. Ideal for well-maintained vehicles or as preparation before ceramic coating.
Ceramic coating
For long-lasting protection and outstanding shine. Our accredited ceramic coating service applies a durable, hydrophobic layer that guards against UV damage, chemicals, bird droppings, and daily wear. Enjoy easier cleaning, enhanced gloss, and up to three years of premium protection.
Paint protection film
Paint protection film (PPF) is the ultimate defence against stone chips, scratches, and road debris. It provides near-invisible protection while preserving the vehicle’s finish and reducing long-term wear.

FAQs
We’ve put together clear, helpful answers to the questions we hear most often about detailing, protection, and long-term vehicle care.
Paint Enhancement Detail: Typically 4–6 hours.
Ceramic Coating: Usually 8–12 hours, sometimes requiring overnight curing.
Paint Protection Film (PPF): A front-end package takes about 1 day, while full-vehicle coverage requires 2–4 days.
Ceramic Coating is a liquid polymer that enhances gloss, repels water, and adds chemical and light-scratch resistance. PPF is a thick, impact-absorbing film that protects against rock chips, deeper scratches, and road debris. Many customers choose Ceramic Coating on top of PPF for the best combined protection.
Most customers benefit from a full detail every 4–6 months, with maintenance washes every 2–4 weeks. Frequency can vary depending on driving habits, weather conditions, and whether protection like coating or PPF is installed.
Light swirls and minor scratches can often be reduced or removed during a Paint Enhancement or Paint Correction service. Deep scratches that catch your fingernail may require PPF, touch-up paint, or professional bodywork.
After detailing, regular gentle washes and proper drying help maintain the finish. For ceramic-coated cars, avoid automatic car washes and use pH-neutral soaps. For PPF, wait 48 hours before washing the vehicle and avoid pressure washing edges.
