Services

Five packages. One order of work.

Correct the paint, protect what you have corrected, then maintain it. Every package below sits somewhere on that line.

Correction and coating work is booked into the unit on the Yelberton Trading Estate in Paignton. Maintenance travels to you, across South West England and further when the job warrants it.

Not sure which line your car sits on? That is the normal starting point, and it is what the first conversation is for. Or look at cars we have finished and what their owners said before deciding anything.

Maintenance to correction. In that order.

New Car Protection

The paint is at its best on day one. That is the day to lock it in.

A new car is not a corrected car. It has been transported, valeted at the dealership and wiped down by hand, and the swirls that leaves show up the moment you put it under proper lighting. We assess the paint, remove those defects while there is nothing deeper to remove, wipe the panels down with isopropyl alcohol so nothing sits between paint and coating, then apply the Gtechniq system. Interior detail is included free with any new car detail.

Used Car Protection

Coat a used car without correcting it and you seal the damage in for five years.

Years of washing leave swirl marks, wash marring and bonded contamination, and a coating will not hide any of it — it will preserve it. So the work runs the other way round: decontaminate, take paint depth readings, agree a correction level, then machine polish before anything is applied. The coating options are the same as for a new car. The difference is everything that has to happen first.

Maintenance Detail

The wash that does not undo the work.

Most swirl marks are put into paint by washing. This is the package that stops that happening: snow foam pre-wash so the grit comes off before anything touches the panel, two-bucket safe contact wash, microfibre dried, wheels and arches cleaned, interior vacuumed and wiped down, glass done inside and out. Book it once, or fortnightly. It comes to your address.

Deep Clean Package

For the car that has not had a proper clean in a long time.

Citrus and snow foam pre-wash, wheels and arches deep cleaned, liquid decontamination for tar and bonded iron, then a full clay bar so the paint is genuinely clean rather than just washed. A machine glaze brings back depth, and a sealant leaves six months of protection behind. Inside, carpets and fabrics are scrubbed and wet vacuumed, leather and plastics deep cleaned, exhaust tips brought back.

What the flagship adds→
Which one

Start with the state of the paint.

The packages fall into three groups. Coatings need the paint corrected first, so they are inspected and quoted rather than sold at a fixed price. Everything else has a published starting figure. Ceramic coating and protection packages are quoted per vehicle after inspection. Price depends on size, paint condition and the coating specified.

Coating packages

New Car Protection The car is a few months old or less, and you want Gtechniq ceramic coating applied before defects accumulate Quoted after inspection A full day, typically Used Car Protection The car has a history of ownership and needs correction before it is coated Correction from £220 One to several days

Correction levels

How far do you want to take it?

Correction is not one job at one price. It is three, and the right one depends on what the paint will give up and what the car is worth to you. Correction time depends on paint condition, not vehicle value. A single stage enhancement takes a day; a full multi-stage correction on a larger vehicle can run to 30–40 hours.
