The thing about pale beige/cream seats is that they’re completely unforgiving and show every bit of dirt.

That doesn’t mean you have to accept it though.

The owner of this Fiat 500 was blown away by the outcome and said that the seats had never been that clean in her ownership.

The rest of the interior was cleaned and sanitised, with dog hair and all other contaminants removed, leaving a fresh and comfortable cabin.

As for the exterior, the wheels were thoroughly cleaned and brought back to silver again, and the bodywork restored to like new, finished off with an 8-12 week water and dirt repellant sealant.

Another one added to the maintenance programme.

One of my existing regulars recently purchased this Polo as a second car and this was the first visit.

From hella dusty to super shiny ✨

Your car is very likely your second biggest investment after your house.

You can protect that investment through regular maintenance and it makes sense to entrust it to someone who will care for it as if it’s their own, rather than using someone different every time, not knowing if the next one will achieve the same outcomes or take the same care of your car.

The added bonus is that joining the maintenance plan unlocks cheaper rates, usually around 25% cheaper than the full valet rate (maximum 8 week intervals).

Luxury Valet Package - Audi A1

This Audi was the first car in for the luxury package that had the new Fusion solid state ceramic coating from Liquid Laboratories as the paintwork protection in place of the wax.

It comes in a tub just like a wax, goes on like a wax, but performs like a ceramic coating once cured. You can expect up to 9 months protection from a single application.

The interior also received a glow up, cleaning and sanitising all surfaces and returning the seats and mats to a like new condition.

In the customers own words, “the car is amazing!”

Two-tone VW Multivan people carrier - but make it shinier ✨

Recently purchased by my customer is this 2025 VW Multivan in beautiful two-tone colour scheme.

Whilst it wasn’t in bad condition, there were still some scratches to address, especially on the black B Pillars, which were in a poor state.

The customer’s main priority was to have the paint protected with a ceramic coating, but also hoped that I could improve the aesthetic appearance prior to coating it.

Other than some targeted scratch removal, the majority of machine work after the decontamination wash, was a gloss enhancement polish, using a finishing polish from Gyeon and a one step light cutting microfibre pad from Lake Country.

If your Detailer tells you that they have to use a soft pad with a finishing polish, or a medium pad with medium cut compound, then they’re demonstrating their basic knowledge. When a detailer truly understand paint correction, they’re not bound by rigid pad and compound combinations.

Anyway, I digress. Back to the point…

Once the polishing was completed, the results were sealed in with Synergy2, a 2 year ceramic coating from Infinity Wax that’s designed for outdoor installation.

The glass and wheels were also coated, to complete the all round protection for the next 2 years, as long as the appropriate maintenance is followed.

Mission complete: Paint showing a deeper gloss than before and all surfaces ceramic coated to protect against bird 💩, tree sap, UV, heat, road contaminants, dirt & debris, whilst giving a water repellent surface that is far easier to maintain

All this for £449 on my current Summer Ceramic Coating Offer, for 11 hours of work and 2 years of protection.

The offer is still open and starts at £349 for the 2 year coating from and £549 for the excellent 5 year coating from

Paint Correction Package - BMW 840ci Grand Tourer Coupe

This stunning BMW 8 Series Coupe came to me looking tired, dull and lacking the presence it deserves. Years of oxidation, bush rash scratches, swirl marks and paint defects had taken their toll on this beautiful metallic green V8-powered grand tourer.

After paint correction, the transformation speaks for itself.

The gloss levels are back, the depth of colour is incredible, and the defects that were muting the finish have been safely removed.

Seeing the customer fall in love with their car all over again is what makes this job so rewarding. That moment when they see the paint glowing under the light and they get those fuzzy feelings all over again never gets old.

Based in Leeds, I offer both mobile and unit-based detailing services to suit your needs and lifestyle.

“Hellfire that’s shiny!”

These were the customers first words when they arrived at the Unit to collect.

Never gets old to see and hear customer’s reactions.

This BMW X3 M Sport with body kit is the customers dream car. They had been searching for it for months and drove 2 hours each way to view it, falling in love with it and making the purchase.

That’s when I come in. They wanted the paint correcting and then protecting with a ceramic coating.

Over two days at the Unit in Morley, the car was pre washed, contact washed, chemically decontaminated of iron & tar, and washed again before being prepped for machine polishing.

Swirls and minor scratches were removed, then the paint was refined with a high gloss finishing polish, leaving a mirror like finish.

The final step for the exterior was the installation of a 2 year ceramic coating on the paint, to leave a highly water & dirt repellent surface, make washing easier, and protect against bird 💩, tree sap, and UV damage from the suns rays.

To finish, an interior valet was carried out, removing colour transfer on the ivory leather and returning them to the original colour.

I have a summer offer on ceramic coating packages at the moment. £200 off the package price. If you’d like your car to benefit from this package drop the word SUMMER in the comments below and I’ll send you the info!

VW Camper Protection Package

I worked on this stunning Iridium Grey Metallic VW T6.1 Transporter Camper Conversion over 3 days, cleansing and decontaminating the paint and wheels, enhancing the gloss of the paint and protecting the paint, glass, wheels and plastics, as well as deep cleaning the interior and sealing the fabric seats.

The paint has now been protected for 5 years using the excellent “Metallic Glass” coating

The wheels were removed, deep cleaned and then coated with Infinity Wax “Revolution” wheel coating, then remounted, with the nuts torqued to manufacturers specs for safety.

Glass was sealed with Infinity Wax Diamond Vision glass sealant.

Plastics protected with Infinity Wax Plastic Coat.

It now ready for a trip to France and Spain, giving the owner peace of mind that all the surfaces have been protected

Another 5 star Google review from the customer, who commented that the service was “excellent as always”

Restoring deep gloss, correcting swirls, laying down ceramic protection

It’s my favourite thing to do in this heat 🥵

Thankfully the customer had really good shaded areas to work in, otherwise this job would have been postponed, as you can’t machine polish and/or ceramic coat hot panels.

I first worked on this Mercedes A Class in March, having been booked for a full valet. During the booking process the customer advised that it had been ceramic coated by Mercedes.

Unfortunately, when I got there, it was clear that whilst there was evidence that there was some protection on the paint at some stage, it was very patchy and very much at the end of its life.

Additionally, in the sunlight, it was obvious that the paint had swirls, micro scratches and minor defects.

Now I’m not saying the dealer misled the buyer, but there was definitely some embellishment in how much protection was still on the paint.

After some discussion, the customer decided to book in a single stage paint correction (machine polish for those not in the know) and a 2 year ceramic coating. They also requested that the alcantara fabric on the seats be protected with a professional grade fabric sealant.

Fast forward to May bank holiday weekend and the car has been transformed into a mirror like finish and is now protected with a quality ceramic coating for the next 2 years.

This is not just a car cleaning service, it’s a service experience with guaranteed high quality outcomes.
