OUR auto Restoration PROCESS

Given the thoroughness of our process, we typically only take on one client per day. This ensures that each vehicle receives our full attention and the highest level of service. We strictly adhere to this process to achieve a fully reconditioned interior that matches the polished exterior. We recommend booking an appointment in advance to secure your spot.


Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of our comprehensive rejuvenation detailing process:

01

Step 1

Disinfection and Deodorisation

Upon receiving your vehicle, we place our ozone generator inside to disinfect and deodorise the cabin. This process runs for an hour, ensuring a fresh and safe interior. Penetrates through the air and deeply into any materials including metal and plastic making automobiles smell new again.

02

Step 2

Optional Headlight Restoration

We restore the optical clarity of the headlight lenses using our proven restoration process.


Wheel, Tyre, and Wheel Well Cleaning

While the ozone generator works its magic, we begin cleaning the wheels, tyres, and wheel wells. This step removes any dirt or grime, enhancing the overall appearance of your vehicle.

03

Step 3

Pre-soak

Next, we pre-soak the vehicle with a high pH, strong degreasing solution. This pre-soak dissolves, loosens, softens, and emulsifies tough dirt, traffic film, and oily grime.

04

Step 4

Engine Bay Cleaning

We use the degreasing properties of the pre-soak solution to get the engine bay clean and ready for dressing.

05

Step 5

First Rinse

After the pre-soak, we perform the first rinse. With the heavy soil emulsified and removed from the painted surfaces, this pressure rinse minimizes the risk of inducing scratches.

06

Step 6

Hand Wash

We then proceed with a hand wash using the “2-bucket method”. This technique ensures a thorough clean while preventing any potential damage to the paintwork.

07

Step 7

Final Rinse and Door Jamb Cleaning

During this final rinse, we open the doors and rinse out the door jambs, removing any hidden dirt or grime.

08

Step 8

Interior Inspection

With the exterior complete, we move onto the interior, starting from the rear. If there’s a spare tyre inside the car, we inspect and clean that area if necessary. We inspect the remainder of the vehicle keeping an eye out for mold or excessive moisture.

09

Step 9

Detailed Interior Cleaning

We meticulously clean your car's interior from back to front, using specialized tools and processes. This includes shampooing all fabric and carpeted surfaces to ensure every nook and cranny is spotless.

10

Step 10

Screen and Gauge Cluster Cleaning

Any screens and/or gauge clusters are cleaned with delicate care using a specialised cleaning solution, ensuring clear visibility and a clean appearance.

11

Step 11

Window Cleaning

We clean the windows, providing a streak-free finish for ultimate visibility.

12

Step 12

Paint Polishing

We complete a single-stage paint polishing where light scratches and swirl marks are removed while the gloss and depth of the paintwork is increased. A premium wax tops it all off to maintain the freshly polished look.

13

Step 13

Exterior Finishing Touches

We finish off the exterior with a low gloss dressing applied to the tyres and the plastic wheel well liners (if applicable), giving your vehicle a freshly detailed look.
