Pricing
The main services on offer are split into four categories below; Detailing Prep, Ceramic Coating Upgrades, Valeting and Additional Services. Each category has three levels of service for you to choose from depending on your budget, expectations and vehicle's current condition.
Detailing is the art of enhancing the finish of a vehicle's painted surfaces often to a better than new appearance that normal cleaning cannot achieve. Ceramic Coatings, where desired, offer a durable and hard layer to protect those results, keeping maintenance more straightforward, that will last longer than a conventional wax. General Valeting services are also on offer for clients who perhaps don't want to venture into the realms of full detailing, but still require a thorough service to clean the exterior and interior of their vehicle with attention to detail and presentation.
The standards of Andrew's work are exceptionally high, with regards to pricing the potential client should consider the following:

Detailing Preparation Work
Preparation and polishing options to bring your vehicle's finish to an amazing standard whether it be brand new, or an older vehicle wanting that wow factor again. These three services are all carried out with stringent standards and the results are inspected under extreme lighting to ensure quality of micro defect removal.
SB3 Ceramic Coating Upgrades
SB3 Ceramic Coatings are a hard layer resin than can be optionally taken in place of the Swissvax wax protection that is included in the preparation above. Additional to the options below are protection packages for interior fabrics, leather, caravans, marine and industrial vehicle applications, get in touch for more information.
Due to the nature of ceramic coatings being long term, the correct level of paintwork preparation must take place; Andrew holds the standards of his work to exceptionally high levels, especially where the long term application of ceramic coatings to your paintwork is concerned. Therefore, if your car isn't literally brand new out of the showroom it is recommended to have it inspected prior to booking so that the prescribed amount of preparation work can be quoted for. For example, a two year old car that has had visits to the roadside car wash, and/or has never been professionally detailed before, may well look to be in 'good condition', but under inspection lighting it will be heavily swirled and therefore will likely require Stage 2 preparation work.
If you would like this to be done properly, you cannot just wash a vehicle down and apply the coating. It also should not be done outdoors on driveways, nor in one day from complete start to finish. It must be thoroughly cleaned and prepared, machine polished to remove defects such as swirls, light scratches etc and then all polishing oils panel wiped away and checked under professional lighting before even contemplating ceramic coating application. Your vehicle will require an indoor overnight cure before being driven following application. This is to ensure that the coating hardens off sufficiently before being subject to the elements.
The prices below are additional to Stage 1, Stage 2, or Wet Sand preparation services above.
