What is car detailing?
Detailing is an in-depth clean, restoration and protection of a car's interior and exterior to reach a showroom finish. It goes far beyond a wash.
- Restores paint, trim and upholstery
- Improves resale value
- Slows ageing when paired with ceramic coating or PPF
- Clearer glass and headlights for safer driving
- Removes stains, odours, swirls and brake dust build-up
Detailing vs valeting: what's the difference?
Valeting is routine maintenance cleaning that usually takes an hour or two. Detailing is a deeper restoration with decontamination, machine polishing and protection, taking several hours to a couple of days. Think of valeting as a check-up and detailing as a full health evaluation.
What is machine polishing?
Also called paint correction or enhancement, it removes swirls and light scratches using machine polishers, pads and compounds. Paint enhancement (usually single stage) boosts gloss. Paint correction (two or multi stage) removes swirls, oxidation and holograms for a longer-lasting result.
What is ceramic coating?
A liquid polymer applied by hand that bonds with the factory paint. It adds deep gloss, repels water, resists UV and contaminants, and makes washing much easier for years. It won't stop heavy scratches or stone chips; that's what PPF is for.
What is paint protection film?
A clear, flexible polyurethane film fitted to areas like the bonnet, wings, bumpers and mirrors. It stops chips and scuffs, resists road salt and UV, and self-heals light marks with heat, while staying virtually invisible.
