Choose the right finish for your vehicle.

Refine paintwork that has lost its clarity, or protect a vehicle already in excellent condition.

Large / Estate

SUV / 4x4
From £475

Prices are based on vehicle size and average paint condition. Vehicles requiring heavier correction or additional preparation will be discussed before work begins.

Beyond a Clean Vehicle

A vehicle can be thoroughly clean while its paintwork still appears dull, hazy or covered in light swirl marks.

The Enhancement Detail uses a carefully selected single-stage machine polish to restore gloss, clarity and reflection while reducing suitable lighter defects.

The aim is a noticeable overall improvement rather than complete removal of every imperfection.

Restored Gloss

Paintwork regains greater clarity, depth and reflection.

Suitable Defect Reduction

Light swirl marks, haze and wash marring are noticeably reduced where the paintwork allows.

A More Refined Finish

The vehicle looks sharper and better cared for without unnecessarily chasing every deeper defect.

Seven-Year Paintwork Ceramic Protection Long-term protection applied to the prepared painted surfaces. From £200
Wheel Ceramic Protection Applied to the wheel faces after cleaning and preparation to make brake dust and road contamination easier to remove. From £100
Glass Ceramic Protection Provides increased water repellency and improved visibility in wet weather. From £50
Complete Exterior Ceramic ProtectionRecommended Replaces the standard 12-month paint protection with seven-year paintwork ceramic protection and includes ceramic protection for the wheel faces and exterior glass. From £325

Ceramic coatings are applied only after suitable preparation. Where paintwork requires more refinement than the standard Enhancement Detail can provide, this will be discussed before work begins.

The Enhancement Detail is designed to improve the overall finish rather than guarantee complete defect removal. Results depend on paint hardness, paint depth, previous repairs and the severity of existing defects. Deeper scratches may remain.

More intensive paint correction may be available following inspection and consultation.

Protect It Properly

New vehicles are not always delivered in perfect condition. Transport contamination, light dealership wash marks and minor surface imperfections may already be present.

The Protection Detail safely prepares the exterior, lightly refines the paintwork where required and applies long-term ceramic protection to the paintwork, wheels and glass.

It is designed for owners who want to preserve a vehicle that is already in very good condition.

A Properly Prepared Finish

Contamination and light imperfections are addressed before protection is applied.

Complete Exterior Protection

Paintwork, wheel faces and exterior glass receive ceramic protection.

Easier Ongoing Maintenance

Dirt, brake dust and water are easier to manage through regular safe washing.
