The finish
Depth you can see your reflection in
Clean, corrected and protected paint looks deeper, glossier and stays easier to keep clean through salty coastal winters.
Ceramic Coating
Years of gloss and protection from salt, UV and grime.
A ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that bonds to your car's clear coat and cures into a hard, slick layer. Done properly, it keeps paint glossy for years rather than weeks, makes washing far quicker and stops road salt, bird lime and tree sap etching straight into the lacquer.
What's included- Safe wash and decontamination
- Paint preparation
- Panel wipe
- Coating application
- Curing
Paint Correction
Machine polishing to remove swirls, haze and light scratches.
Paint correction is the careful machine polishing of your car's clear coat to level out swirl marks, holograms, wash marring and light scratches. Rather than hiding defects with fillers, it removes a tiny amount of lacquer so light reflects evenly again.
What's included- Paint inspection
- Wash and full decontamination
- Masking
- Compounding
- Refining and protection
Full Valet & Interior Deep Clean
Seats, carpets, headlining and every surface properly cleaned.
A full valet cleans the car inside and out. An interior deep clean goes further: seats and carpets are shampooed and extracted, plastics and vents steamed, leather cleaned and conditioned, and odours treated rather than masked.
What's included- Strip-out and dry vacuum
- Shampoo and extraction
- Steam and detail
- Leather and glass
- Exterior wash and protection
Mobile Valeting
Regular maintenance cleans on your driveway or at work.
Mobile valeting brings the wash to you. It suits regular upkeep: a safe hand wash, wheels, glass and a quick interior tidy every few weeks, so the car never gets bad enough to need a big deep clean.
What's included- Pre-wash
- Safe hand wash
- Drying
- Interior tidy
- Top-up protection

What's included
Proper process, not a quick wipe-over
The steps below are typical across our services. Your quote will set out exactly what your job includes.
Safe wash and decontamination
Snow foam, two-bucket wash, iron fallout remover and clay before anything touches the paint.
Machine polishing
Swirls and haze levelled, from a one-step enhancement to multi-stage correction.
Lasting protection
Ceramic coatings, sealants or wax to keep salt and grime from bonding.
Interior deep clean
Seats and carpets extracted, leather conditioned, sand and pet hair removed.
Wheels, tyres and arches
Brake dust and tar removed, tyres dressed, arches cleaned.
At your home or work
Many jobs are done on your driveway or at work; coatings need a covered space.
Why it matters here
Why coastal cars need more care
Living near the sea is great; it is less great for paint. Salt spray drifts inland on windy days, beach sand ends up in carpets and gets dragged across bodywork, and the pines along the Bournemouth and Poole clifftops drop sap that bakes on in summer. Head inland towards Christchurch and the New Forest and you add mud and leaf staining.
Regular safe washing helps, but protection is what really makes the difference. A ceramic coating or quality sealant stops contamination bonding, and machine polishing removes the swirls left by sandy sponges and brush car washes.
What affects your quote
- Vehicle size
- A city hatchback and a seven-seat SUV are very different amounts of paint, glass and interior.
- Current condition
- Swirls, scratches, stains, pet hair and how long since the last proper detail all change the time needed.
- The finish you want
- A fresh-looking refresh, a deep gloss enhancement or a near-flawless corrected and coated finish.
No price list, no surprises: every job is quoted to the car in front of us.

Questions
Common questions
Can't see yours? Add it to your enquiry and we'll answer it with your quote.
How much will my detail cost?
Every car is quoted individually. The price depends on the size of the vehicle, its current condition, the finish you want and how long the work takes. Send an enquiry with a couple of photos and we'll come back with a tailored quote.
Does it cost anything to get a quote?
No. Quotes are free and there is no obligation to book.
How quickly will I hear back?
We aim to reply the same working day, and usually within one working day at most.
Which areas do you cover?
Bournemouth (including Southbourne, Boscombe and Westbourne), Poole (including Sandbanks and Broadstone) and Christchurch (including Mudeford and Highcliffe). If you are nearby, send an enquiry anyway and we'll tell you if we can help.
Where is the work done?
Maintenance washes and valets can usually be done on your driveway or at work. Longer jobs like ceramic coatings and paint correction need a dry, covered space, and we'll agree the best option with you when we quote.
