the devil's in the detail
PROTECTION DETAIL
A protection detail is a service designed specifically for cars which require paint protection, without the need for correction. If you are unsure as to which service you require, we can easily advise you.
A protection detail will aim to give deep protection and shine, restoring your paintwork and plastics and removing ground-in dirt, impurities and bonded contaminants. A protection detail breathes new life into old paintwork; a modern day car makeover designed to create lustre and give a satin smooth finish.
Protection Detail: from £240 (a 1-day booking)

- The procedure will commence with a thorough inspection of the vehicle, using spot-lamps where necessary to ascertain the areas and extent of any micro-damage.
- All wheels and wheel arches are thoroughly cleaned, de-tarred and de-ionised using a citrus degreaser and a variety of soft brushes.
- The car is then snow-foamed in order to agitate and remove any ground-in dirt and grime.
- A thorough wash of the vehicle using the standard two-bucket hand-washing method, with a Meguires' soft lambswool hand mitt follows. This method will ensure that no grit or dirt is fed back onto the paintwork during washing.
- All door shuts are thoroughly cleaned, as is the engine bay. The latter may be wet or dry cleaned depending upon the vehicle type.
- All glasses and flat painted surfaces are clay-barred using a high quality clay bar and lubricant, to remove tar and bonded contaminants.
- The car is then rinsed thoroughly again, and then hand-dried using plush microfibre towels.
- A pre-wax cleanser is applied to the paintwork, followed by a coat of high-quality ceramic sealant or Carnauba wax, which is applied by hand and buffed off.
- The engine bay is dressed and sealed, as are all plastics, exhaust tips, grills and trims.
- Wheels are dressed using a gloss-protecting sealant.
- All interior and exterior glasses are cleaned and sealed. The interior is fully cleaned and vacuumed and any upholstery or leather is treated with professional detailing products.

Using spot lamps and a paint-depth gage to ensure absolute precision, an Ultimate Correction Detail is a process requiring high levels of expertise, aiming to give the ultimate mirror-finish shine. A meticulous multiple stage machine polish (between 3 and 5 stages) is employed, using a range of cutting compounds and ultra-fine detailing polishes. All defects which can safely be removed are vanquished in this truly prestige service. If you have invested in a car with poorly-maintained or faded bodywork, this coveted service will bring out the absolute best of your car.
