Polishing removes paint, and that cannot be undone. So we measure the paint thickness first and tell you what can be brought back and what will stay. Then you decide.

SERVICES

What actually helps,
and what is just expensive.

Ceramic over weathered paint only preserves the bad condition. We say beforehand in which order it is worth doing.

01

Hand wash

Washed by hand rather than by machine, plus wheels, arches and underbody. A car-wash brush is the most common cause of the swirls we polish out afterwards.

02

Paint correction

Polishing the paint, removing swirls and scratches, then sealing. We measure the paint thickness before we cut anything back.

03

Interior

Seats in fabric or leather, carpets and mats, dashboard and trim. Leather care and upholstery cleaning as separate treatments.

04

Glass

Cleaned inside and out, with a water-repellent coating on request. In rain and at night that is a safety gain, not a luxury.

05

Engine bay

Cleaning the engine bay and its components, care for rubber seals and plastics. It matters before a sale and before any honest inspection.

06

Smell and hygiene

Removing unpleasant smells from the cabin, interior disinfection. A car that smells of smoke or dog is a price reduction at resale.

07

Wax and ceramic

High-performance waxes for a season, ceramic coatings for considerably longer. We say honestly when the second is worth it and when it is not.

08

Protection

Sealing the wheels against baked-on brake dust, care and protection for the exterior plastics.

VEHICLE SIZES

A Polo is not a van.

Detailing is handwork, and the surface area decides the hours. So we price by size group rather than by flat rate. Your vehicle is not listed? Ask us and we will place it.

INSIDE

What detailing looks like here.

A short look inside the workshop: front end, engine bay, steering wheel and the tools we work with. The video plays without sound.

HOW IT WORKS

Four steps, no surprises.

01

Tell us the car

Model and condition, ideally with a few photos in daylight. We then place it in a size group.

02

Confirm the appointment

You get the scope, the price and the duration in writing first. Detailing is a full day's work, not something squeezed in.

03

Inspection at the car

Paint thickness, scratch depth, condition of leather and upholstery. Only then is it clear what makes sense.

04

Handover in good light

We go through the result together in good light before you get the keys back.

PRICES

Prices that are settled
before the appointment.

All prices include 19% VAT. Anything beyond the agreed scope, such as deep scratches or heavy soiling, we discuss beforehand.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What customers ask us on the phone.

Detailing is a matter of trust, and most questions are about what is realistic. Here are the honest answers.

Will every scratch come out?

No. Polishing removes clear coat, and a scratch only disappears if it is shallower than the layer we can safely take off. If your fingernail catches in it, it is usually too deep. We measure the paint thickness and tell you beforehand what will remain.

How often can a car be polished?

Only a limited number of times. Clear coat is forty to sixty micrometres thick depending on the manufacturer, and every polish takes some of it. So we polish as little as possible and as much as necessary, rather than running the full stage every visit.

How long does a coating last?

A high-performance wax lasts about a season. A ceramic coating lasts one to three years depending on care. Both last considerably less if the car goes through a brush car wash.

Is ceramic worth it on an older car?

Only after correction. A coating preserves the condition the paint is in right now. On weathered paint that means sealing the swirls in with it. Correct first, then coat, otherwise the money is badly spent.

How long does detailing take?

A working day, and longer for the three-stage polish. It cannot be squeezed between two other jobs, so we schedule it properly and you will need another vehicle for the day.

Which size group is my car in?

The groups are listed above on this page with examples. If your vehicle fits none of them, a pick-up or a camper for instance, just ask: we quote after a short look at it.
