I had the lovely Volvo XC90 in from a dealer to enhance the paint and correct some issues so we decided the Paint Enhancement Detail would be perfect with the addition of wet sanding for the bird etching

This detailing package consists of everything in the Exterior Protection Package, but also includes a machine polishing stage to remove light defects, such as light swirling, oxidation and dullness in the paintwork. Once the paintwork is cleansed, the whole vehicle goes through a machine polishing stage, using only the best products available for the paint finish on your vehicle. This stage corrects and refines the paint removing up to 60% of defects on the vehicle and brings back the depth and shine the car would have had when it was sitting in the showroom.
This detail is perfect for the enthusiast that wants their pride and joy refined or anyone on a budget and/or can’t do without their car for a full correction. Many believe that defects in the paintwork such as fading and oxidation require bodyshop work, however for most cars this is not the case, with this detail you can restore the gloss in the paintwork at a fraction of the cost.

As well as all this, we also offer bolt ons, such as interior protection or wheel removal for barrel and arch treatment.

Exterior Protection Detail

This detailing package is one of our most popular packages, mainly due to the harmful weather conditions and road conditions in this country. This protection detail consists of paintwork cleansing, using pre-wash cleaners, PH neutral shampoo’s and a careful cleaning method to help prevent swirling which can be caused by not following the proper procedures of car cleaning, this is followed by removing tar and other contaminants. After this deep cleansing stage, the paintwork is then treated to a pre-wax cleanser and glaze, which helps bring back the gloss in the paintwork, this is all followed up with the protection that you choose. Not only is the paint protected, but we take steps to make sure that the glass, wheels, trims etc, are all sealed, giving you the confidence that your pride and joy is protected.
