Detailing & Restoration
Exterior Detailing
Careful washing, decontamination and finishing for a clean, deep and consistent exterior.
Overview
What it involves
Exterior detailing removes the road film, fallout and contamination that a regular wash leaves behind, then finishes the surface so it looks sharp and feels smooth.
It suits vehicles that are in good paint condition and need a thorough refresh, or those about to receive protective treatments.

FAQs
Common questions
Will this remove scratches?
Exterior detailing cleans and finishes the paint. Removing swirl marks and light scratches needs paint correction, which we can add if suitable.
How often should I detail the exterior?
It depends on how the vehicle is used and stored. We can suggest a sensible interval, and our Maintenance Detailing service keeps things consistent.
Is it suitable for a new car?
Yes. New vehicles often carry transport and dealership contamination, and a detail is a good first step before protection.
