Tar, tree sap and old waxes are completely removed. •Finally 2 coats of Signature 55 Carnauba Wax is then applied to the whole car to create an incredible swirl-free gloss finish and put a long lasting protective shell on the paint surface.

Geographical Coverage: this service covers most of mainland England, comprising the main population centres and areas between. We do not cover Wales or Scotland but do cover Northern Ireland and Dublin area. Please confirm with us if you live in a remote area prior to booking. Vehicle restrictions: This service is for cars in reasonable condition for a standard correction. Vehicles in poor condition e.g. deeply scratched, dented, rusty, abused, barn finds or anything we consider unreasonable (and we are reasonable people!) and which therefore require excessive work, will be charged extra either by prior agreement or on the day. 4x4s and limousines will require an additional charge by agreement. Our requirements: Somewhere dry and spacious if weather is poor or the booking is outside the best weather periods. Access to power and water. Hard standing preferred. Additional services: Soft Tops - cleaning and reconditioning/colouring undertaken Technical note: This is an 'enhancement' detail, whereby we would machine polish the entire vehicle within the constraints of 1 days work and the condition of the vehicle. It is not a 'full correction' detail as that would take 2 days of machining alone, and acheiving a totally scratch-free finish is almost impossible. We are very happy to inspect a vehicle for such a service and quote accordingly.

For a shine that lasts, Signature 4x4 wax is just the job.

Classic cars need constant attention, not just to the mechanical and electrical systems, but also to the exterior paint finish. Many cars sit unused for a large portion of the year and are then exposed to high levels of UV for summer motoring, where their paint can become faded quickly and attacked by burn out from insect residues and bird mess. Older single stage paint, cellulose, two-pack and paint on both metal and fibreglass needs feeding with oils to stop fading and keep it flexible.It needs protection from UV, bugs and birds, tree sap and stonechips, sunlight and scuffs - which a good wax made for the job can do. That product is Race Glaze British Classic wax, formulated for owners of classic British cars from 1930's Bentleys to 70's and 80's MGs, Triumphs, Aston Martins and Jaguars. Its no coincidence that the product label features classics such as the E-Type and Auston Healey 3000. Oh, and a delicious aroma of passion fruit and melon too.

Harnessing complex modern nano-technology Race Glaze bring you an incredibly durable and highly protective paint sealant system. It will make dirt adhesion very difficult, protect against bird mess and flies, chemical attack and therefore make washing very easy. This premium paint sealant is for all paints on cars, boats, caravans, motorhomes - any paint on any underlying surface. Equivalent to the systems utilised by modern franchised car dealerships, the Race Glaze Nano Series Sealant TopCoat works hand in hand with its Primer, which is essential to ensure proper adhesion by cross linking the clever polymers within the product to the vehicle paintwork. Note: this product leaves a molecular thin layer on paintwork, so will not fill in swirls or light scratches. It is therefore best applied to new, fresh paintwork on new cars or those which have been thoroughly machine polished to remove defects.

Anyone who has bought a new car over the last few years will have been recommended a ‘never have to polish your car again’ coating, at typically £250 to over £400 depending on how prestigious the marque. Ripoff No. 1 – the sheer cost of this. No wonder many customers decline and call us for advice about more traditional waxes. Then there’s rip-off No.2 – the dealer will apply the same product to a BMW or a Ford of equal size but charge you more where they perceive you have deeper pockets. They offer this product as margins on new cars are so thin – the same reason you are offered ‘Gap Protection’ insurance and optional extras. Simply, they have to make some money somewhere. Rip Off No.3 is that the ‘warranty’ is only backed if you use their supplied shampoo, which you will inevitably run out of and if you can prove you have washed it regularly using it. Which of course you can’t, hence its a worthless warranty. So what is this miracle coating ? Well, most dealerships buy from the same small number of manufacturers, one of whom produces a product we have been testing for 3 years. Its undoubtedly all very clever chemistry, and the best thing about it is, anyone can apply it. No special training or equipment is required. And if you’re doing it yourself, you’ll take a lot more care than the ‘paid by the hour ‘ valeters round the back who sometimes do this in 20 minutes. And the really good news ? We can supply you with DEALERSHIP QUALITY product complete with both steps of the system, with applicator pads and microfibre polishing cloths, for as little as £29.99. We’ll not kid you that you’ll never have to polish your car again, as this sealant does have a life of 2-3 years, but if you use a good, pH neutral shampoo and wash the car regularly yourself at home, it will last that long. Use commercial car washes or ‘hand wash for £5’ places who use truck washing degreasers and it won’t. But at least you know. More about this – and please excuse the science The first step is to cleanse the cars paintwork with the Primer. No real effort required, but wipe on, massage over the bodywork and buff off when it starts to haze. You will need approx 50ml for a Corsa-sized car. This product cures and bonds to the paintwork creating a layer than is receptive to the nano-particles (i.e. molecular sized) of the Gloss TopCoat Sealant. We’ve adopted this naming convention as any DIYer will understand it. Once that’s done, and allow an hour or so for a small car, you will need to apply the actual Sealant. Application and usage is exactly the same, although you can use a polishing machine to do it too but its not vital. Allow to dry. That’s it. Your car will now resist acid rain, bird mess, tree sap, and shrug off dirt. This makes washing incredibly easy as dirt cannot bond to the porous lacquer but must try to stick to this extremely hard new coating. Maintenance We always recommend using anything except a brush or ordinary carwash sponge, and drying with either a really good, clean chamois or microfibre drying towel. For shampoo, you can use our ‘made for purpose’ Cherry Sealant Maintenance Shampoo, which will typically make up 25 wash buckets worth, or any good shampoo. A few extra points: You can use it on any age of car If you clay bar the paintwork first you won’t seal in tar spots, tree sap and other debris that makes paintwork less than glass-smooth. If you have surface swirls or scratches you will need to polish them out or seal them in. Consider this as to remove this bonded on coating will require skilled machine polishing with abrasives. The finish this product produces will be bright and shiny, particularly if you have taken care in preparation and application, but may lack the warmth of good waxes on certain darker colours. You can therefore wax over the top, though as this is designed to shrug off dirt wax wont bind very well and durability will be poor. Putting wax underneath will definitely not work. This product is entirely suitable for all paint surfaces on cars, boats, motorhomes or caravans, motorcycles and quad bikes. So it’s perfect for steel, aluminium or GRP panels, with 2 pack, Gelcoat or standard solid or lacquered finishes. So, in 2-3 hours, or a little more if you take your time, you’ll save yourself, on a very conservative basis, £200 plus, have a much better finish and the satisfaction that you have done something worthwhile yourself and avoided multiple rip-offs. Warranty We have watched the market for 3 years and decided not to offer a warranty as its totally dependent on you following prescribed procedures and also gives a false sense of invincibility for your car. But if you are unhappy with durability and have looked after your car, then we will happily discuss alternatives with you if you feel this has not worked for you.

Complex multi-link Nano technology blend of acrylic and PTFE compounds, no silicones, have been harnessed to produce a 2 part system which will produce an extremely long-lasting and tough protective layer on your vehicles paintwork - be that any type of paint on any base, including steel and fibreglass. The correct preparation of the surface with this cream Primer will ensure you achieve the intended 2-3 years durability of the system. The Primer allows the powerful cross-links between the polymers in both products to bond strongly and ensure durability. Omitting this stage will severely reduce the life of the sealant. Application is simple - see the Usage Instructions tab.
