What we do

Six ways to keep a car looking new

Every job starts the same way — with a look at the paint and an honest conversation about what it needs. Nothing is sold as a package.

The studios

Two bays, one standard

Whichever is closer to you. Same products, same lighting, same patience — the only difference is the postcode on the confirmation.

West London

The London bay. City cars, weekend cars and anything that has to look right by Monday morning. Film, coating and correction, scheduled around you.

  • Paint protection film
  • Ceramic coating
  • Pre-purchase inspections

Chippenham

The Wiltshire studio, with room to spread out. Where full details, multi-day film work and cars travelling further afield take the time they need.

  • Collection by arrangement
How it runs

Nothing happens quickly

  1. 01

    Assessment

    Bring the car by or send photographs. We read the paint, ask how it's used and stored, and quote for what it genuinely needs.

  2. 02

    Preparation

    Wash, decontaminate, tape and mask. The car is taken down to a truly clean surface before anything permanent is touched.

  3. 03

    Protection

    Film laid, coating applied and cured under controlled heat, with lighting and conditions watched the whole way through.

  4. 04

    Aftercare

    Wash routines, top-ups and quiet check-ins, so the finish still performs in three years the way it did on handover.

The work

Close enough to judge

Film edges, cured coatings, cabins and beading — the details we're actually judged on.

Questions we get asked

If something isn't answered here, ask it of us directly — we'd rather talk it through than have you guess.

  • Yes. Every quote comes from seeing the car — paint thickness, condition and history all change what's sensible. We'd rather tell you what you don't need than sell you a package.

  • A full front end is typically a two to four day job; a whole car takes longer. We confirm the timeframe when we quote, and the car isn't rushed off the bay to make room for the next one.

  • Quality urethane film keeps its clarity and shrugs off UV. The edges are wrapped and tucked rather than left on a cut line, so lifting isn't a conversation you end up having.

  • Yes — a two-bucket wash with a pH-neutral shampoo is all we ask. We'll set you up with the right products and walk you through the routine before you leave.

  • Gladly. Older paint gets a gentler correction plan and, where film isn't appropriate, a coating or sealant chosen to suit the finish rather than the calendar.

  • Whichever is closer to you. Both run the same routine, with the same products, the same lighting and the same standard of finish.
