I had  this  Ford Focus ST 500 in for the New/Used car Protection plus Enhancement Detailing Package.

Plus lots more, the Interior was  also cleaned along with the leather cleaned and treated and the full interior clean and protection,wheels sealed and windscreen protection package.
This is a fairly rare car now and  paint  was  pretty  bad with scratches and swirls and chips,all major chips were also touched up prior to the ceramic protection and allowed to dry..

As most people know when you buy a new car the dealership will offer you some sort of paint and interior protection packages, they will tell you that it is the best package for you. In most instances it is not as high quality or as durable as the product most Detailers like myself are applying.The biggest problems with the protection packages is not the just the products but how they are applied and most importantly, the preparation of the surfaces of the paint before it is applied. We have seen it applied over the top of fall out, over sprayed and un-clayed panels therefore leaving very little protection, if any at all. If you are spending £450 or more for protection you want the BEST preparation for your car

I Had this Classic Jaguar E Type in Cheltenham for The Classic Valet, it had  not been done professionally for 7 years or more so as  you can see from before  photo`s it was very grubby. The wire  chrome wheels  needed special attention as did the chrome on the outside and  that also needed cleaning with metal cleaner and sealed for the coming show season.
The interior - needed a good blow  out  to remove the dust and revitalise the carpets and blow all the dust out that you cant reach with normal vacuuming.Then the leather was fully cleaned and  treated with finest leather balm that is warmed up in the hands and applied by hand,  leaving an nice semi gloss finish and leaving the  leather nice and supple .
The Exterior Valet - The outside needed more attention too along with contamination removal and tree sap and organic contamination. The Paint needed gloss enhancement and finished with a couple of coats of durable  wax.
