01 — The Service What's included

Salt, frost, grime. Your car, defended against all three.

Road salt is the leading cause of accelerated corrosion on UK cars. A polymer sealant applied in October or November creates a chemical barrier between the salt and the metal. Combined with sealed arches and treated rubbers, it's the most cost-effective winter investment you can make.

  • Tar & fallout decontamination — removes bonded winter contaminants
  • Two-bucket exterior hand wash
  • Polymer paint sealant — salt-barrier protection, lasts all winter
  • Wheel arch & sill treatment — rust inhibitor applied
  • Rubber seal conditioning — prevents freezing and cracking
  • Glass water repellent — applied to all glass surfaces
  • Tyre dressing applied by hand
For the best defence: Combine with our Ceramic Coating applied in autumn — multi-year protection that laughs at road salt.

02 — The visit How it works

Decontaminate, seal, protect — in the right order.

Protection products only work on a clean, decontaminated surface. We always decontaminate first — removing old tar, fallout and road film before applying the sealant.

i

Tar & fallout removal ~20 min

Iron fallout remover and tar dissolvent applied to strip bonded contaminants from the paint surface. Without this step, the sealant traps contamination underneath it.

ii

Two-bucket hand wash ~25 min

Panel-by-panel wash with grit guards, dedicated alloy brush, microfibre dry. The car must be clean and dry before sealant application.

iii

Sealant, arches & glass ~40 min

Polymer sealant applied panel by panel. Wheel arches and sills treated with rust inhibitor. Rubber seals conditioned. Glass water repellent applied to all windows. Tyre dressing.

iv

Cure & walk-around ~10 min

Sealant left to cure. Final walk-around with you — we explain what's been treated and how long each product lasts. Pay by card, no deposit.

03 — Pricing By vehicle size

Fixed prices. No surprises on the day.

Applied once in autumn, polymer sealant lasts the full winter season. Cheaper than dealing with corrosion or respray costs in spring.

The glass water repellent alone was worth it — motorway driving in the rain is completely different now. The paint also looks remarkably clean between washes.

Drive a lot of country roads in winter — salt and grime is constant. Had the winter treatment done and the paint held up brilliantly all season.

The rubber seal conditioning is a detail I'd never thought of. No frozen door seals all winter — first time that's happened in 10 years of UK winters.

05 — FAQ Common questions

Everything we get asked before a first booking.

Can't find your answer? Call 0800 208 8885 — we usually pick up within an hour during opening hours.

When should I book the winter protection?
Ideally October or November, before road gritting begins. The sealant needs to be applied before salt exposure — not after. We can apply it any time during winter, but autumn is most effective.
How long does the polymer sealant last?
Polymer sealant lasts 4–6 months under normal conditions — typically the full winter season. For multi-year protection, our ceramic coating is the longer-term solution.
What's the difference between wax and polymer sealant?
Carnauba wax is a natural product offering 2–3 months of protection. Polymer sealant is a synthetic coating with superior chemical resistance and durability — better for the harsh chemicals in road salt.
Does it work on older cars?
Yes — the decontamination step removes existing bonded contaminants before the sealant is applied, so it's effective on cars of any age. Older paintwork benefits most from the protection.
Do you need water or power from me?
No. Our vans are fully self-contained.
Can I combine this with an interior clean?
Yes — book a full valet at the same time to add interior shampoo and extraction to the same visit.
