Services and prices

Every price on this page, in the open.

Three details, four sizes of car, two ways to protect it afterwards. Nothing is quoted on the day and nothing is added once your car is on the ramp.

Sizes

What size your car counts as.

Size sets the hours, and hours set the price. A Transit takes half a day longer than a Polo for the same work.

The three details

What is actually done to the car.

Maintenance detail

Every eight to twelve weeks

Maintenance

For a car that is already protected. We take the film off without touching the paint with anything abrasive, then top the coating up so it beads again.

  • Snow foam, two bucket contact wash, pH neutral shampoo
  • Wheel faces, arches and tyres decontaminated and dressed
  • Chemical fallout and tar removal where needed
  • Coating top-up sealant, three to four months of protection
  • Glass cleaned inside and out, interior vacuum and wipe down
£145from, medium car, 4 hours in the studio
Enhancement detail

One full day in the studio

Enhancement

A single machine polishing stage that lifts roughly seventy per cent of the light swirling, then a durable sealant. The honest choice for a daily car you keep for three years.

  • Everything in the Maintenance detail
  • Clay bar and iron fallout decontamination on all panels
  • One stage machine polish, foam pad and finishing compound
  • Paint depth readings recorded on every panel before we start
  • Twelve month sealant, wheels sealed, trim and glass treated
  • Interior deep clean, leather cleaned and conditioned
£395from, medium car, 12 hours in the studio
Correction detail

Two to three days, booked in advance

Correction

Multi stage correction under 6500K lighting. We cut, refine and finish until the panel holds up to the light bar, then measure again so you can see what was removed.

  • Everything in the Enhancement detail
  • Two or three stage correction, wool and foam, panel by panel
  • Wheels removed, arches and calipers cleaned behind
  • Trim, badges and grilles masked and worked around by hand
  • Before and after readings in a written paint report
  • Ready for a ceramic coating the same week
£795from, medium car, 26 hours in the studio

Coating and film

Protection, priced by the years it is warranted for.

Correction comes first in every case. A coating over marked paint locks the marks in for the life of the coating.

9 years

Crystal Serum Ultra

Cars kept long term, or dark paint that shows every wash mark.

  • Applied here only, accredited fitters
  • Glass and wheels coated
  • Nine year warranty registered in your name
10H cured film£1,150

Questions

The ones we get asked every week.

A maintenance detail is four hours and you can wait in the studio. An enhancement is a full day. Correction is two or three days, and a coating adds an overnight cure on top of that.
