WHAT IS DETAILING?

The Basics of Detailing

Car detailing is the meticulous art of cleaning, polishing, and protecting every surface of a vehicle. It’s all about the attention to detail, and the expertise and experience of a detailer are what truly elevate the finish of your vehicle. Our extensive knowledge and significant investment in top-tier products and equipment enable us to achieve stunning results, whether it’s a VW Golf or a million-pound Ferrari.

 

The Shropshine Process

Our process starts with a thorough wash and decontamination to meticulously cleanse the paintwork, exterior glass, and wheels of traffic film, bug splatter, and brake dust buildup. We also use a clay bar to remove bonded contaminants like industrial fallout, leaving the paintwork smooth and ready for the next steps.

Next, we carefully remove swirl marks, scratches, and other paintwork blemishes through machine polishing. After taking multiple paint depth readings, we use a rotary or dual-action polisher along with a carefully chosen combination of compound and pad to eliminate the paint defects.

Depending on the severity of the imperfections, we may perform several stages of machine polishing to fully restore the paintwork, ensuring the paint gloss and clarity are brought back to their best by refining the finish.

Finally, we apply a protective layer to the paintwork, such as high-end carnauba wax or a highly durable, hydrophobic glass coating. This coating chemically bonds to the paint, enhancing scratch resistance and maximizing gloss levels, providing unparalleled protection.

Depending on the selected package, we may remove various parts, such as wheels, to access and clean suspension components and wheel arch liners. All interior surfaces are also cleaned and protected with highly durable protectants.
