Knowing the true condition and paintwork in depth is the first stage of any professional detail to determine the quality of your paintwork. Your vehicle may have had paintwork previously that could be unknown to you and machine polishing could make this paintwork worse or even react if not cured correctly. We use a digital paint depth gauge which shows us the microns left in the paintwork from the depth when it left the factory. Over time the paintwork depths can drop due to many factors and also certain vehicles have a thicker layer of paint than others from new, this means you have to be more carful in certain areas or on paints. A free digital report is provided showing this information so we can all make the correct decisions before starting the whole process.

- Wheels and arches sprayed with iron remover & wheel cleaner to remove brake dust and deep clean areas with multiple brushes.

How and why is paint correction carried out?
Paint correction is a process that is used to remove minor and major defects like paint swirls, marring, certain bird lime and light scratches etc. This is carried out using different machine polishing tools for example a heavier rotary machine works different to the way a lighter DA machine operates, this would due to harsher actions that may be required. Also the products that are used will be just as important, as a less abrasive compound will not be taking away layers as a more heavy duty compound which would be needed to remove more heavier swirl marks and deep imperfection. We mix and match all these options so only tackle the areas with more of the heavier options as and when required rather the whole vehicle, to keep as much of the original paintwork as possible. See options and benefits below.
A light scratch remover and swirl removal process mainly used on vehicles up to 3 years old that have very light defects, which would require mainly a high level machine polish.
In addition to Stage 1, for vehicles over 3 years old we recommend a more intense detail using numerous machine polishing tools with stronger products. Overtime vehicles loose their colour enrichment and gloss due to older vehicles being exposed to different weather and driving conditions.
v
This stage is for vehicles with heavy defects and deep scratches regardless of age, due to extreme driving conditions or frequent use. Normally vehicles that have been through hand car washes, experienced sun fade, bird lime or just have deeper scratches and swirls that cannot be taken out the conventional way. For this we recommend harsher machine polishing with coarse pads, including the use of dry sanding and the heaviest grade of compounds. We can do stage 1 and 2 detail programmes and use a stage 3 on specific areas of your vehicle if you do not require a full stage 3.

*Please note prices will vary subject to vehicle size and complexity of the bodywork, which will be assessed after our 30 minute appraisal. This will determine which stage you require.
What is paint protection and ceramic coating?
Protecting your investment is most important to obtain the vehicles value in the future. Over the years we have had many vehicles pass through our showroom that have been ceramic coated a few years earlier and we really do see the difference on these vehicles. Ceramic coating gives protection to your paintwork with one of the best on the market being Matrix Black, lasting up to 8 years. This can only be applied by an accredited detailer once training is completed with their products. This will give you an 8 year warranty plan. The Ceramic coating is applied after a full decontamination process with the necessary stages of paint correction carried out prior. The chosen ceramic products can then be applied over the majority of the vehicle, leaving a high definition and enhanced look using the latest nano technology. See options and benefits below.
