Cleaning
Using the delicate two bucket, and snow foam pre wash method, your car is given a delicate pampering. The snow foam helps loosen dirt that would otherwise be stuck to the paint surface, and with the help of gravity, is pulled down, away from the car. Following the snow-foam prewash, the two bucket method hand wash is performed, the wash-mitt is always kept clean by rinsing it out in a separate bucket from the soap, ensuring no excess dirt is rubbed into the delicate paint thus preventing unnecessary swirl marks. It is then dried using a plush microfibre towel to capture all the water, leaving a streak free finish.
The wheels are treated to a decontamination and deep cleaning of brake dust using appropriate brushes, and wheel cleaners.

*Prices shown are “prices from €…” The quote will vary depending on vehicles’ size/condition – heavily pitted, soiled, badly scratched etc
*Please note that the ‘New Car Prep’ only counts for vehicles which are purchased brand new from the appropriate agent. ‘New’ Second hand cars do not count. (Unless having a mileage of less than 1000km.)
A two stage machine polish is given to eliminate light swirls/scratches, oxidation and dull and hazy paintwork that is damaged over the years by poor wash technique, bad contact and strong chemicals.
The first machine polishing stage is a medium-strong cut compound used in conjunction with a polishing/cutting pad that restores the paint and removes up to >80% of the surface defects. The second set is a much milder pass to refine the finish and give the much desired ‘jewelled’ look.
This service is our most popular package; ideal for the enthusiast who likes to keep a defect free car all year round. Paint thickness removal is kept minimal during this detail allowing the process to be performed on an annual basis if needs be.

Delivers paintwork perfection; often leaving the finish better than its original showroom condition.
Using a multitude of machine passes to safely remove heavier defects found on most vehicles (i.e. random deep scratches, bird etchings, bodyshop buffer trails and sanding marks) a Major Paint Correction Detail is perfect for the tired, lifeless car that requires a second lease of life.
Sometimes 100% correction isn’t always possible; compromise has to be made on areas with thin clear coat where it would be impractical to sacrifice lacquer and to run the risk of striking through. Also, as a general rule, scratches that you can ‘feel’ with your fingernail will usually require paint (However they can be visibly reduced by ‘rounding off’ the edges with correct machine technique).
Typically, over 95% correction will be met with a Major Paint Correction Detail and is guaranteed to transform your vehicle

Paint Protection Film
Benefits of Paint Protection Film (PPF)
Protection
Our PPF protects your paintwork from chips, minor scuffs and scrapes, environmental factors such as bug splatter and protects the finish against defects from poor washing techniques.
Enhancement
Our PPF has a superior optical clarity and is very easy to maintain. When looked after correctly it gives a depth of shine like freshly detailed paint for many years.
Self Healing
Our PPF has a self healing layer. Stone chips, scuffs, scratches and swirls that don’t penetrate this layer disappear with the application of heat from hot tap water, the car’s engine or even just the sun.
Replacement
If a panel needs replacing, you won’t be off the road for long. Most panels can be replaced within a couple of hours – unlike traditional paint repairs, which often take days or even weeks.
Time & Convenience
Should a panel require replacement it is a quick turnaround, most panels can be replaced within a couple of hours whereas paint repairs run into days even weeks.
Cost
Because our PPF is specifically designed to fit each panel it can be replaced individually meaning little or no need to strip the panels and no extra paint to blend the colour to adjacent panels.
