Six services, chosen for what your car actually needs

We won't sell you correction and coating if a proper wash would do the job — every enquiry gets an honest recommendation before anything is booked.

Maintenance Wash

From £35 · 45–60 min

Our two-bucket safe wash removes surface dirt without adding new swirl marks — the mistake most quick washes make. Every panel gets a dedicated mitt pass, and wheels are cleaned separately from paintwork to stop cross-contamination.

What's included

  • Snow foam pre-wash to lift loose dirt before contact
  • Two-bucket hand wash with a pH-neutral shampoo
  • Wheels and arches cleaned with dedicated brushes
  • Tyres dressed, windows cleaned inside and out
  • Hand-dried with a plush drying towel — no swirl-inducing air blasters

Suited to

Regular upkeep between details, or a first visit if you just want the car properly clean without committing to correction work.

Interior Detail

From £65 · 1.5–2.5 hrs

Interiors collect more than dust — footwells, seat seams and door pockets all need attention most valets skip. We work surface by surface with the right method for each material, rather than one all-purpose spray for everything.

What's included

  • Full vacuum including boot, footwells and seat tracks
  • Steam cleaning for vents, switchgear and trim
  • Upholstery or leather cleaned and conditioned as appropriate
  • Glass cleaned streak-free, mats washed separately
  • Light sanitising pass on frequently touched surfaces

Suited to

Family cars that see a lot of use, recent used-car purchases, or anyone who spends more time in the car than looking at it.

Alcantara and perforated leather are treated with dedicated products — let us know what you have when you book.

Paint Correction

From £220 · 4–8 hrs

Swirl marks, light scratches and wash-induced haze sit in the clear coat — no amount of washing removes them. We use a paint depth gauge before starting, then work through cutting and polishing stages with a dual-action polisher to level the paint safely.

What's included

  • Full decontamination first — clay bar and iron fallout remover
  • Paint depth check on every panel before machine work begins
  • Cutting and polishing stages matched to the paint's actual condition
  • Panels inspected under raking light throughout, not just at the end
  • Finished with a wipe-down ready for wax or coating

Suited to

Cars with visible swirl marks or dullness in direct sunlight, and anyone preparing paintwork for a ceramic coating.

Correction is sold by stage (one, two or three cut passes) once we've assessed the paint in person — we won't quote a stage over the phone.

Ceramic Coating

From £395 · 1 full day (+ cure time)

A ceramic coating chemically bonds to the paint, giving a hydrophobic, UV-resistant layer that lasts years rather than weeks. It only works as well as the prep underneath it, which is why we won't coat over paint that hasn't been corrected first.

What's included

  • Paint correction included as a prerequisite (assessed per vehicle)
  • IPA panel wipe to remove any polishing oils before application
  • Coating applied panel by panel and levelled by hand
  • Minimum 24-hour cure time before the car leaves the studio
  • Aftercare sheet covering the first wash and maintenance

Suited to

New or recently corrected cars, and anyone who wants water-beading protection that survives more than a few washes.

Cure time means we'll need the car for at least a full day — we'll agree a collection slot when you book.

Wheel & Tyre Detail

From £30 · 30–45 min

Brake dust is acidic and eats into wheel finishes if it's left to build up. We strip it back with an iron fallout remover before touching a brush, then dress tyres so they don't sling residue onto fresh paintwork.

What's included

  • Iron fallout remover to lift baked-on brake dust
  • Barrel and spoke brushes for behind the wheel face
  • Tyre sidewalls cleaned and dressed to a satin, not gloss, finish
  • Optional wheel sealant for easier cleaning next time

Suited to

Alloys that have gone dull or discoloured, or as a standalone add-on to any wash or detail.

Engine Bay Detail

From £40 · 45–60 min

An engine bay detail is done cold, with sensitive components covered before anything is sprayed. It's a popular add-on ahead of a sale or an MOT, where a clean bay makes a genuine difference to how the car presents.

What's included

  • Sensitive electrics and intakes covered before cleaning
  • Degreaser applied and worked in by hand, not just sprayed and rinsed
  • Low-pressure rinse to avoid forcing water into connectors
  • Dressed with a matte, non-slip finish — never a high-gloss spray

Suited to

Cars going in for a sale, an MOT, or simply overdue a proper look under the bonnet.
