Restore your cars appearance to a mirror finish

Unlike a wax that just sits on the surface and is washed off easily, a ceramic coating chemically bonds to the paintwork. This creates a barrier between the finished results and the outside elements, sealing in the gloss and protecting the finish for years to come.

The 2021 Porsche Cayman arrived with swirl marks caused by poor dealership washing techniques, which were safely removed through machine polishing. We then applied a ceramic coating, to protect the paintwork and enhance gloss, complete with a manufacturer-backed guarantee.

Barry completed a full interior and exterior detail on my newly purchased 2024 Mercedes-AMG GLE63 S, and the results are outstanding. The car looks better than I ever expected, with the paintwork finished to a deep, clean gloss and the interior brought back to a true factory-fresh standard. Every surface has clearly been treated with care and attention. The quality of the exterior work really stood out the first time I took the car out in the rain. Water beads straight off the bodywork, which shows just how well the protection has been applied. It is exactly what you want to see after investing in a proper detail. What also sets Barry apart is the aftercare. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and the list of recommended top-up products was practical rather than over the top. I feel confident that I can now keep the car looking its best between visits. From start to finish, the service was excellent and professional. I am genuinely very happy with the results and the overall experience. I will be back for a top-up detail in a couple of years without hesitation.

Barry fitted a sports kit to my vehicle. It was a present for my son, so time was limited as I needed the car back the same day. Barry worked through the evening ensuring I had the car prepared for my son’s birthday the following morning. Wow, what a difference, the wait was worth it, I wanted the car for myself when I seen it. Barry is a true professional and so methodical, that’s what makes him the best in the game. 100% recommend

I was offered the opportunity to get my new car ceramic coated at the dealership where I got my car and I’m so glad I decided to find my own. Barry has done a fantastic job of my car. The full experience from start to finish was excellent. I would 100% recommend Barry. Easy 5 stars from me.

Had our mk3 focus RS over at Top Car Detailing recently. The paintwork was shocking, with scratches, swirls and a couple of dings. Barry had his work cut out for sure. When we picked it back up, it was completely transformed. Looks like a brand new car 😱😱😱. Would highly recommended. Thanks Barry. Catch ya later 👍👍👍
