What it is

The complete explained.

Most mobile valeters can wash a car. The Ultimate Detail is for people who want more than that. New owner. Resale prep. Birthday gift. Concours entry. Or just because you've finally decided your motor deserves it.

It combines three of our services into one premium booking: a complete Full Valet (interior & exterior), Stage-1 machine polish paint correction to refine paintwork, and a 2-year ceramic coating applied as the final protection layer.

The order matters. We start with a complete clean so the paint is genuinely ready. Then we polish to refine and remove minor imperfections. Then — and only then — do we apply the ceramic coating, locking in that perfected finish for two full years.

Booked separately, these services would cost ~£700 for a small car. Bundled as Ultimate Detail, you save around £200 — and we make sure they're done in the right order, on the right day, with the right products.

Common Questions

Ultimate Detail FAQs.

What's the difference between Ultimate Detail and Full Clean?

Full Clean is the interior + exterior valet only — no paint correction, no ceramic coating. Ultimate Detail adds Stage-1 paint correction and a 2-year ceramic coating on top. Full Clean is £150 minimum; Ultimate Detail is £500 minimum because of the extra 4–6 hours of work and premium ceramic products.

How long does the ceramic coating last?

The included ceramic has a 2-year durability rating with proper care. Wash regularly with pH-neutral shampoo, avoid automatic car washes, avoid abrasive products. We provide care guidance after the booking.

Can my paint handle paint correction?

Stage-1 correction is suited to paint in good condition with very minor marring. We always inspect before starting — if your paint needs more aggressive correction (deep swirls, scratches), we'll tell you, and you may need a Stage-2 or Stage-3 service instead. We won't perform work that isn't appropriate for your paint.

Do I need to be home all day?

No — once we arrive and confirm access, you can leave us to it. The job takes 8–10 hours. Just leave the keys (or a way to access the car) and a power source if possible. We'll WhatsApp updates throughout the day.

What if it rains?

Light rain is workable — we have shelter solutions for the polishing/coating stages. Heavy rain we'll reschedule. We monitor weather the morning of and call you by 8am if we need to move it.

Where do you offer this service?

All London postcodes plus surrounding counties — Surrey, Hertfordshire, Essex, Kent, Berkshire and parts of Buckinghamshire. No travel charge within Greater London. A small surcharge may apply for further-out spots, confirmed before booking.

What's your cancellation policy?

Free cancellation more than 24 hours before. Inside 24 hours, late cancellations are non-refundable. Because of the prep we do for an Ultimate Detail (products, time blocked) we ask for at least 48 hours' notice for changes.

How long does the ceramic coating actually last?

Two years with normal use and proper care. Garaged cars often see longer. We provide an aftercare card with washing recommendations to maximise lifespan.

How long does the whole job take?

6-8 hours for a small or medium car. Larger SUVs and luxury cars can take a full day. We need access to your car for the entire period — typically a driveway or private parking.

Can the ceramic coating be removed later?

Yes — it can be polished off if you want a fresh start, change cars, or upgrade to a longer-lasting coating. The coating doesn't damage your paint in any way.

Why is this better value than separate services?

Booked separately, paint correction (£350) + Full Clean (£170) + 2-year ceramic (~£300) = £820+. Ultimate Detail bundles all three from £500. You save £200-300 and only need to book once.
