Paint is a surface you read before you touch it.

Every car starts under inspection lights, with a paint depth gauge and a written plan. We only remove what we need to, and we tell you when a car needs less than you came in for.

Five stages.
No shortcuts.

Dim studio with a car under strip lighting

Stage 1

Inspection

Lights, a depth gauge and a walk around the car with you. You get a written plan and a fixed quote before work starts.

Stage 2

Decontamination

Foam, a two-bucket wash, iron remover and clay. Most swirl marks start with poor washing, so ours is deliberately slow.

Stage 3

Correction

Machine polishing, checked against the depth readings as we go. We stop when the paint says stop, not when it looks perfect.

White bonnet with sharp reflections

Stage 4

Protection

Coating, film or a simple sealant, whichever suits how you actually use the car. Everything cures indoors before it leaves.

Handover

We walk the car with you in daylight, explain the aftercare and give you the records for your service file.

From the handover

They talked me out of the full package and I respected them for it.

The plan matched the invoice, and the car looked better than the day I bought it.

Now it takes half the time to wash, which was the whole point.

Good questions

Good questions

Do I need a coating, film or just a good polish?

It depends on the miles you do and where you park. Film stops stone chips. Coatings make cleaning easier but won't stop chips. Plenty of cars only need correction and a sealant, and we'll tell you if yours is one of them.

How long will a ceramic coating last?

Our sample guide is around two to five years, depending on the product, mileage and how the car is washed. We confirm the expected life and the manufacturer's terms for your exact product in writing.

Is the online price my final price?

No. It's an indicative range so you know what to expect. Condition makes a real difference, so we confirm a fixed price after seeing the car.

Do I pay anything to get a quote?

No. Enquiries and inspections are free, and nothing is booked or charged until you confirm in writing.
