Washing versus detailing

A routine wash removes loose dirt. Detailing looks at the condition of the paintwork itself, including bonded contamination, dull areas and surface marks, and chooses suitable treatments.

That means starting with a proper clean, then deciding whether claying, polishing or a protective finish is appropriate.

  • Careful exterior hand wash as the foundation
  • Paint claying to lift bonded contamination
  • Polishing to improve the look of the paintwork
  • Waxing or sealing to finish
  • Wheels and glass cleaned

Honest expectations

Polishing can improve the appearance of paintwork, but it cannot repair every defect. Deep scratches and chips that go through the paint layers may remain visible.
