Being Water-Wise!
Due to the Eastern Cape province water crisis, and the terrible water quality of the municipality, we strictly only use captured rainwater or sourced spring water passed through a particle filter for all detailing work done.
Not only does it save the municipality's water, which we do not have much left of, but it also eliminates chances of water spots forming during the washing & drying phases.
WASHING & DECONTAMINATION
Safe cleaning methods and industrial fallout removal!
Our Decontamination service is designed to remove contaminants such as tree sap, tar, glue, adhesives, iron, traffic film, insects, bird droppings and more to ensure your vehicle is looking its best.
We use a citrus-based pre-treatment to help break down the contaminants and then use a pH-neutral shampoo with soft wash mitts to safely remove them. With our comprehensive decontamination service, your vehicle will be looking brand new.
​
Our clay process uses synthetic rubber clay media to minimize abrasion and maximize efficiency to remove any particles that are stuck to the surface of your car and can't be removed with just a wash. The clay bar is then followed up with a wax or sealant to protect your vehicle from the elements.
ENGINE BAY
Attention to Detail, a clean engine is a happy engine.
Our Engine Bay Detailing service provides a complete care package for your engine bay. We start by allowing the engine to cool down before performing any cleaning. We then perform a thorough inspection of all components for any damaged components or wiring and take the necessary steps to clean, degrease and protect the engine bay. We use Gtechniq's Citrus-based APC, designed not to damage rubber and plastic surfaces.
Once cleaned, the engine bay is air-dried with compressed air or a cordless blower and non-greasy, water-based rubber and plastic protectants are then applied for a factory look.

Your mechanic will thank you as his job will become much easier spotting potential issues during a diagnosis.
POLISHING
Swirls & Oxidation removal with added gloss enhancement!
Our polishing service is designed to restore your car's paintwork to its original condition. Depending on the condition of the paintwork, we can offer a Paint Enhancement for light defects and improved visuals or a more comprehensive Paint Correction for more intensive defect removal.
We use a range of techniques and products to restore your paintwork, from soft to hard clear coat and use a paint thickness gauge to assess the condition of the paint.
We can also facilitate stone chip repairs and wet sanding to ensure your car looks as good as new.

A deep clean will help relieve asthma and sinus-related issues due to pollen and bacteria buildup on the interior surfaces!
​
After the interior has been restored to as new as possible condition, we use our range of interior coatings to seal in the new look.
PAINT PROTECTION
Only the best levels of protection!
We use Waxes, Sealants, Ceramic Coatings and Self-Healing Paint Protection Film to protect your vehicles.
​
Prior to applying Ceramic Coatings or PPF, proper preparation of the vehicle's base is necessary. This includes decontamination of the paint to remove any dirt, grime, and contaminants. It also requires at least a Paint Enhancement to remove minor scratches and imperfections in the paintwork. After this, a panel wipe is done to ensure there is no residue left on the surface that will impede the bonding process.
Once a Ceramic Coating has been applied, it needs to cure for at least 12 hours, and the vehicle should not be washed for up to 7 days. For more serious paint correction, additional pricing may be quoted upon inspection.
​
For PPF applications, 24 Hours is required before the vehicle may be driven in the elements to ensure a proper bond to avoid lifting issues.
