Car Detailing Services

Enhance the look of your car & stand out from the crowd

 

Vehicle detailing is a comprehensive and thorough process that combines cleaning and restoration to enhance the appearance of a vehicle and protect its surfaces.

It goes beyond a simple car wash by addressing both the exterior and interior components in detail. The goal of detailing is to restore the vehicle’s aesthetics and maintain its condition over time. Our Detailing Service includes the following key features:

 

Exterior Detailing

Wash: Removing dirt, grime, and environmental contaminants from the vehicle’s exterior.

Clay Bar Treatment: Removing embedded contaminants from the paint surface.

Polishing: Restoring the paint’s shine and removing minor scratches and swirl marks.

Waxing/Coating: Applying a protective layer to the paint for added shine and defence against environmental elements.

Interior Detailing

Deep Vacuum: Thoroughly cleaning carpets, upholstery, and surfaces to remove dust and debris.

Steam Cleaning: Sanitising and cleaning surfaces like seats and carpets.

Conditioning: Treating leather or vinyl to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking.

Window Cleaning & Coating: Ensuring all glass surfaces are clean and streak-free.

 

Remove Surface Scratches & Swirls for a Mirror Finish

Vehicle paint correction is a process in automotive detailing that involves restoring the finish of a vehicle’s paintwork to its original or improved condition.

The goal is to remove imperfections such as swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, and other blemishes, resulting in a smooth and glossy surface. Achieving paint correction involves several technical steps:

The Paint Correction Process

1. Washing and Decontamination: Vehicle is thoroughly washed to remove dirt, grime, and contaminants from the surface. This may involve using clay bars or decontaminants to remove embedded particles that can cause scratches during correction.

2. Assessment: Before starting the paint correction process, the condition of the vehicle’s paint is assessed. This includes identifying swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, water spots, and other defects.

3. Paint Thickness Measurement: A paint thickness gauge is used to measure  thickness of the paint on various panels. This step is crucial to determine the amount of material available for correction and avoid the risk of causing damage by removing too much paint.

4. Compounding: Compounding involves the use of abrasive compounds or polishes to remove a thin layer of clear coat or paint, eliminating defects. The choice of compounds depends on the severity of the imperfections and the type of clear coat on the vehicle.

​​

5. Polishing: After compounding, a finer abrasive polish is used to refine the surface further and remove any remaining imperfections. This step enhances the gloss and clarity of the paint.

6. Finishing:: Finishing polishes with even finer abrasives are applied to refine the surface to achieve a high level of gloss. This step helps eliminate any haze or micro-marring caused by previous polishing stages.

7. Prevention of Wear and Tear: After correction, it’s essential to protect the newly restored paint. This involves applying a protective layer, such as wax, sealant, or ceramic coating, to shield the paint from contaminants, UV rays, and to enhance the shine.

8. Quality Inspection: The final step involves a thorough inspection of the paintwork to ensure that all defects have been successfully corrected. The vehicle is evaluated under different lighting conditions to catch any overlooked imperfections.

What is the difference between Detailing & Valeting?

Detailing

This involves a more in-depth process, addressing minor imperfections in the paint, restoring surfaces, and protecting the vehicle against long-term wear and tear. Detailing is about enhancing the overall condition and appearance.

Valeting

Valeting is more focused on the cleaning and maintenance of a vehicle’s appearance. While it includes washing, vacuuming, and cleaning, it will not involve the same level of paint correction, polishing, or protection as detailing.

How Detailing Benefits the Vehicles Life Cycle

Preservation of Resale Value: Regular detailing helps maintain the vehicle’s condition, preserving its resale value by preventing
deterioration and wear.

Protection from the Elements: The protective layers applied during detailing act as a barrier against environmental factors like UV rays, oxidation, and contaminants.

Prevention of Wear and Tear: Detailing addresses small scratches and imperfections before they become more significant issues, extending the life of the vehicle’s surfaces.

Improved Driving Experience: A well-detailed interior provides a clean and comfortable environment, contributing to a more enjoyable driving experience.

Had my Mercedes G Wagon fitted with full coloured PPF at Prestige PPF, and the satin finish looks incredible—better than paint in my opinion! The team at Prestige have done a brilliant job, with all the edges neatly tucked in and hidden for a seamless finish. Coloured PPF is a fantastic way to transform the car while protecting the original paintwork. Full coverage, excellent attention to detail and very good value for money. A big thank you to everyone at Prestige PPF—highly recommend the team!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Had my BMW G80 M3 fully PPF’d by Prestige PPF and couldn’t be happier with the result. The full car has been PPF’d, including all the carbon, polished to perfection and finished with a ceramic coating. The car came out looking absolutely pristine. Massive thank you to Jay and Danny — genuinely the best people I’ve dealt with compared to any other company. From start to finish, the service, communication and attention to detail have been exceptional. What really stands out is the aftercare. They continue to look after you even after the job is finished, which makes a huge difference. Couldn’t recommend Prestige PPF enough. The G80 is fully protected and looking better than ever.
