I've had quite a few enquiries recently asking about fixing paint scratches on car doors and bumpers.

While I know there are plenty of DIY kits available, in my professional experience, it’s very easy to cause more damage to your paintwork or end up with a poor finish. The best way to get a safe, professional, and long-lasting repair is through Paint Correction—it's also better value for money in the long run than risking repeat work or further damage.

We know no two scratches are the same. That's why my service is designed to safely and expertly remove scratches by carefully working on the top layer of paint. The result is a seamless finish that doesn’t just cover the damage, but removes it completely.

Don't risk damaging your car’s finish. For an expert solution to scratches and scuffs, please get in touch for a free quote.

I feel like I'm pointing out the obvious here but its amazing how many customers I talk to about this.

Washing up liquid v's progessional car cleaning soap:

Washing up liquid contains harsh degreasers that strip away your car's protective wax and sealants, leaving the paint vulnerable and dull. Always use a pH-neutral professional car soap. It provides superior lubrication, gliding safely over the paint to lift dirt without scratching or damaging your clear coat

Two bucket wash and rinse method:

Use one bucket for soapy water and a separate bucket for rinsing your wash mitt (ideally with a grit guard). This is the industry standard for safe washing. Rinsing your mitt before reloading soap ensures abrasive dirt particles are trapped away, dramatically preventing swirl marks and preserving your paint's flawless finish.

Microfibre towel to dry your car:

Professional, high-pile microfibre drying towels are hyper-absorbent and non-abrasive. They quickly soak up water, virtually eliminating streaks and water spots. This soft material is the safest way to dry your vehicle, ensuring you don't introduce fine scratches during the final, crucial step.

PS - no one was hurt when I threw the washing up liquid 🤣

I'm sure most of you know by now that I've moved Mirror Finish Detailing to our new home on the Team Valley Trading Estate, Gateshead.

I'm now officially set up at Unit B9, 11th Ave North, NE11 0NJ.

I did this because I really wanted to offer you the best service possible, and that meant working right next door to a business that provides complimentary services.

Why the New Spot Makes Sense for You

Our new unit is much more than just a change of address; it’s a setup that makes things simpler and better for our customers. We’re sharing a space with our friends at Option 1 Vehicle Styling., who are brilliant at car wrapping and window tinting.

What this means for you:

All-in-One Service: Whether you are looking for Paint Protection Film (PPF), ceramic coating, or flawless prep before a custom wrap, it’s all handled seamlessly here. This saves you time and the hassle of running your vehicle between different specialists.

Quality Control is Spot On: We talk to the Option 1 team every day. If I’m doing the preparation (like paint correction) before they do a wrap, we make sure the finish is absolutely perfect for them. It means two sets of experts are looking after your car, guaranteeing a top-quality final result.

Simpler Decisions: You can get advice on detailing, protection (PPF/coating), tinting, and custom wrapping all at once.

Ultimately, this move means I can focus fully on delivering that perfect finish and making your experience as easy as possible.

Recent little project working along side Option 1 Vehicle Styling. at our new workshop on the Team Valley.

This Audi Rs6 looked amazing after receiving an application of Nebula Graphene Coating. The Graphene offers a super though shield to protect paintwork while the Nebula formula makes the paint look incredibly shiny!

I think it’s fair to say my job here is done ☑️ 😉

Here are the 5 core factual reasons our customers choose a professional Angelwax Global ceramic coating:

• Ultimate Chemical Resistance: Provides a durable, sacrificial barrier against etching and oxidation caused by road salt, acid rain, and harsh winter chemicals.

• Effortless Maintenance: Creates a slick, highly hydrophobic surface, meaning dirt, grime, and mud rinse away easily—reducing winter wash time and effort dramatically.

• Permanent UV Protection: Shields paintwork from UV damage and fading, ensuring the depth and clarity of your vehicle's colour are preserved year-round.

• Exceptional Gloss & Depth: Beyond protection, the coating significantly enhances the aesthetic finish, keeping your paint looking new or better-than-showroom for years.

• Preserved Resale Value: By preventing environmental damage and micro-scratches, professional ceramic coating maintains the quality of the paint finish, directly helping to retain your vehicle's value when it's time to sell.

If you are considering protecting your vehicle this winter, let's discuss your options. We offer the necessary expertise to advise on the perfect ceramic coating package for your car.

Protection, Not Risk: The product bonds to your clear coat to form a hard, clear shell that protects the finish you have. It doesn't eat through it.

Is Ceramic Coating Really Worth the Cost?

It’s the first thing everyone asks. The cost of a professional Angelwax Global Ceramic Coating represents a serious commitment, and I get why people pause.

Here's the truth: Ceramic coating is not an expense; it’s a long-term investment in your vehicle's value.

Think about the long game:

It permanently protects against corrosive winter salt and road damage that ruins paint.

It cuts down your need for expensive washes and corrective detailing down the line.

It locks in your car's condition, meaning a much higher resale value when you decide to sell.

You're paying for years of real, measurable protection and less hassle. If you care about protecting your investment, it's worth every penny.
