THE DEEP GLOSS

£140-180 (12-16 hours, 1.5 days)

This service is an exterior minor detail. Decontamination is removed and the vehicles paint work is lifted and provides a deep gloss look. Very light swirl marks can be removed with this service, further swirls can also be dulled down with the deep gloss service. When receiving this service, the paint work will reflect and provide amazing gloss levels. Future cleaning becomes easier due to the clean paintwork.

MINOR PAINT CORRECTION

£380+ (3-4 days)

The Minor paint correction involves a two-stage machine polish. This uses an abrasive compound, combined with a microfiber cutting pad, to remove fine and medium defects within the paint. Defects including swirl marks, fine scratches and oxidisation. Once the cutting stage is complete, and the defects have been removed, the paint work is then given a machine polish for refining. Once this stage is done the paintwork becomes very glossy and starts to look brand new. Minor paint correction will remove around 80% of the defects in the paintwork. To remove the further 20% of defects major paint correction is required, which involves 3-4 stages of machine polishing.

The process involved in the services above:

The washing stage:

Wheels and brake calipers thoroughly cleaned using a safe wheel cleaner
Any iron fallout and tar embedded in the wheels is removed for a completely clean wheel
Wheel arches cleaned
Vehicle paint work is given a citrus and snowfoam pre-wash to soften and remove surface contamination
Two bucket wash method used on the paintwork after a thorough rinse, using quality shampoo and wash mitt
Badges, grilles and any other tight areas are cleaned using detailing brushes

Decontamination:

Iron fallout is liberally sprayed onto the vehicle to remove iron fallout and any other ferrous contaminants
Tar is also removed from the paintwork
Vehicle is given a further snow foam and thorough rinse to remove the decontamination
Even after these steps, decontamination is embedded into the paint, the paintwork, glass and lights are given a clay bar
Vehicle rinsed and dried off
Crevices that may still have water held are given are blown dry, this avoids left over water dripping onto the paint

Machine polishing:

Fragile areas, plastics and rubbers are taped off to avoid these areas coming into contact with polish
Paint work has a thorough going over using a paint depth gauge, to ensure a safe paint correction can be performed
Combinations of polish/compound and pads are tested to find the best combination for the paint work
The machine polishing stages are performed (1,2,3,4 stage)
Paint work is given Ispropyl alcohol wipe downs to see the results of the machine polishing stages
Machine polishing and IPA wipe downs are done until the desire
Once all the machine polishing stage(s) are complete, a final IPA wipe down is done to remove any left over residue, this step is required if further steps are added, e.g. paint protection (wax, sealant, ceramic coating)

For an even higher level of protection, paint wax or sealant can also be applied by hand. This step uses microfiber applicators, the product is then left for some cure time (depending on product used), then it's simply wiped off. This will help to achieve a higher level of gloss, whilst adding more protection. Adding this step will also allow for easier maintenance washes. This step can be added for an extra £20-£30. It is highly recommended, after polishing a vehicle, to have some form of protection applied to the paintwork, for added gloss and a greater level of protection against the elements.

Waxes and sealants can range from 3 months of protection all the way up to a year, depending on product used.

Maintenance washes and protection top ups are highly recommended to keep the vehicle fresh, glossy and protected.

Ceramic coatings are also offered, ceramic coating being a high end form of protection.
