Detailing and Paint Correction
When your car comes to my studio it will undergo an exterior deep clean to remove all contaminants and any waxes or oils , stripping the paint back to its natural state , I then begin to work through it panel by panel cutting back and restoring the paint work to brand new depending on the selected package or agreed work and time allocated.
Once the initial time or work is completed I will then give it one final clean and inspection before a protection is laid down to aid keeping the paint In top condition.
I offer aftercare products designed to help you maintain the paintwork and offer a valeting service to help the upkeep.

Important Information About Our Enhancement Packages
Please be aware that machine polishing is carried out using various cutting techniques compounds and pads that all work differently on each vehicles different paint types.
Manufacturers all use different lacquers that produce different hardness and this also in turn can affect the ceramic toughness, 9h to 10h is expected .
This will also affect the final results based on a two day package and extra time can be given at a discounted hourly rate if asked for.
Also be aware that any previous coating will instantly have an effect on the job. For example I have removed previous coatings and it’s taken three days . Then I spend another two restoring and recoating the car.
Guide to lacquer hardness examples from experience.
Porsche, Land Rover – Soft paints
BMW, Audi, VW, Ford – Medium paints
Mercedes – rock solid paint, the older it is, the harder it is!
A test patch will be carried out to confirm this on arrival (this should only take around 10 minutes while you wait)
