I Had this Mini Cooper in For Ceramic Coating - Enhancement Detail and Full Detailing Package in Cheltenham At Kleen Machine Workshop.
As you can see from the before photo`s for this car it hadn`t been professionally detailed or valeted for quite some time. There was some green around the windows and door shuts, wheels pretty bad on the inside of the rims. Plus Contamination bonded and organic contamination and lots of Tar, so that also needed to be addressed.
​This is ideal Detailing Package for used or new cars To keep the car tip top.
Paint Protection
On This Mini The Client opted after the Enhancement to have the best Ceramic Paint Protection to improve the gloss and unlike wax it doesn't need topping up, just regular maintenance.For More information and details and benefits of Ceramic Coatings Click Here For Details

I had this  Toyota Hilux double cab Pick up in for New Car Protection Inside and  out.
Certain area`s he opted for also was seats to be protected and the Plastics and wheels to be coated  in ceramic coating to give that extra durability and  protection.
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 and professional valeters like myself are applying.
