Last updated:
Who are we?
We're a Suffolk-based detailing team who got tired of seeing good cars ruined by brush car washes. Every job is done by hand, by trained detailers, to the same standard whether it's a family hatchback or a prestige car.
How do we work?
You request a quote, we confirm a fixed price and time, and we arrive with everything needed. We inspect the car with you, do the work, then walk round it together before handing back the keys.
Are we insured?
Yes. We carry public liability insurance and care, custody and control cover, so your vehicle is protected while it's in our hands.
What products do we use?
- Snow foam and pH-neutral shampoos, two-bucket method
- Non-acidic wheel cleaners and iron fallout removers
- Clay bars and lubricants for decontamination
- Dual-action machine polishers and paint depth gauges
- Professional ceramic coatings and sealants
- Hot-water extraction and steam for interiors
Do we need your water or power?
No. Our vans are water and power self-sufficient, so we can work on a driveway, an office car park or a marina without plugging into anything. See our services and prices.
