Detailing is not a more expensive car wash. A valet cleans the vehicle; a detail changes the condition of the paintwork.
We carry out the full process on site in Stoke-on-Trent, including the machine stages, which is the part most mobile operators skip. The bulk of the time goes on decontamination and correction rather than washing.
Chemical and mechanical decontamination to remove bonded contaminants that washing leaves behind.
Machine work to reduce swirls, light scratches and oxidation. This is the longest stage and the one most mobile operators skip.
The corrected paint is protected so the result lasts, with an upgrade path to a ceramic or graphene coating.
Glass, trim and tyres finished, with interior work included according to the package chosen.
We quote per vehicle rather than from a fixed list, because two cars of the same model can need very different amounts of work.
Vehicle size and current condition matter most. Paint that has been maintained needs less correction than paint that has had years of automatic car washes. Heavy tar, iron fallout, tree sap or overspray all add decontamination time before correction can begin.
How much correction you want also moves the price. A single-stage polish that markedly improves the finish costs less than a multi-stage correction chasing a near-flawless result. Both are legitimate choices and we will tell you what each will realistically achieve on your paint.
Protection chosen and interior requirements complete the picture — pet hair, spills and heavily soiled upholstery add significant time.
We plan around access, parking and time on site — not a workshop process forced onto a driveway.
Systems matched to the job, with clear aftercare so the finish holds between visits.
Areas where the visit makes sense. We'll confirm your postcode before you book.
Clear quotes, agreed scope and tidy work — the way you’d expect from a specialist, not a rushed wash.
We inspect the paint in proper light before starting, and confirm what the agreed correction stage will achieve on your car specifically.
The dirtiest areas are dealt with before anything touches the paint.
Chemical and mechanical decontamination to strip bonded contaminants that washing cannot remove.
Machine work in the agreed number of stages. This is the longest phase.
The corrected paint is protected so the result lasts.
Glass, trim and tyres, then we show you the result before we pack up.
Space. Around a metre of clear room on all sides of the vehicle, with the doors able to open fully, on a reasonably level surface.
Parking. Driveways and allocated bays are straightforward. On-street work is possible on many Stoke-on-Trent roads where there is room to work safely. Stoke-on-Trent has a polycentric six-towns layout rather than a single centre, so central addresses usually need a nearby alternative agreed.
Workplaces. Etruria Valley, Festival Park and Trentham Lakes are all workable with site permission, and are often the easiest option where home parking is difficult.
Vehicle condition on arrival. No preparation needed on your part. Remove valuables and personal items from the interior if interior work is included.
Not all of them. Machine correction reduces or removes defects that sit within the clear coat. Anything through to primer or bare metal cannot be polished out. We assess your paint on arrival and tell you honestly what the agreed stage will achieve before we begin.
Frequently yes, and often more visibly than on a newer one. Older paint tends to carry more oxidation and swirling, so the improvement is more dramatic. The exception is paint that has thinned to the point where correction is not safe, which we check on arrival.
Once paint has been corrected and protected, maintenance is mostly about washing it properly. Correcting the same paint repeatedly is not necessary and removes clear coat each time.
No, provided we have access to the vehicle and can reach you if needed.
Often yes. It depends on the road width and whether parking can be arranged — permit areas need sorting in advance. Send us the street name and we will confirm before you book.
