The challenge
The owner had a prestige SUV that had never had more than routine washing, and it showed: swirled, slightly dull paint, bonded contamination, tired interior leather and trim, and no real protection on any surface. They didn't want a series of separate appointments — they wanted the car comprehensively sorted in one go, to a standard befitting the car, and protected so it would stay that way.
A complete detail is the answer to exactly this brief: it combines the full range of detailing services — the kind we cover individually across our paint correction and ceramic coating case studies — into one thorough, sequenced job.
How we solved it
- Decontamination: a safe wash, clay bar treatment and chemical decontamination to strip bonded fallout from the paint
- Paint correction: machine polishing to remove the swirls and restore a deep, clear gloss
- Interior restoration: deep cleaning and extraction, plus leather cleaning and conditioning to revive the tired hide
- Protection: a durable coating on the paint and protection on the interior surfaces, locking in the finish
Who is a complete detail for?
A complete detail suits anyone who wants a full transformation in one go: a neglected car being brought back, a prestige vehicle being given the treatment it deserves, or a car being prepared to keep long-term. It's the most comprehensive service we offer, sequencing correction, restoration and protection properly — and because we come to you, even a full-day job happens on your driveway. For a car that just needs maintaining rather than transforming, a valet or single service is the more proportionate choice.
