Targeted Paint Correction & Deep Cleaning for a Showroom Finish

Exterior Perfection, Step by Step

Our meticulous 24-stage wash and prep system goes beyond a basic clean, preparing the surface for correction and enhancing the finish:

Snow Foam Pre-Wash breaks down surface grime before any contact wash, reducing the risk of micro-scratches.

Interior Hygiene Treatment

Light Paint Correction

We perform a one- to two-stage machine polish, targeting:

Touchless Blow Dry using high-powered air to eliminate water residue without touching the surface.

Engine Bay Refresh removes dust and grime for a clean, tidy presentation.

Deep Decontamination using clay bar and solvent-based treatments to lift embedded contaminants.

Tyres, trims, and plastics are dressed for a refined, finished look.

Light swirl marks

Faint scratches

Oxidation or dullness

This stage enhances reflectivity and smoothness across the bodywork, achieving up to 70–80% paint correction. Chrome and stainless steel components, including badges and exhaust tips, are also polished and protected. Headlights and taillights are treated for extra clarity and protection.

Your cabin is treated with a bacteria-neutralising deodoriser to eliminate odours at the source, not just mask them. Ideal for long-term freshness and interior comfort.

Finish with Protection

Freshly corrected paint deserves lasting protection. We recommend:

Ceramic Coating for long-term shine, easy maintenance, and water repellency

PPF (Paint Protection Film) for the highest level of impact resistance and surface preservation

Is This Right for You?

Your vehicle has minor swirls or a tired finish

This is the perfect entry point into paint correction and vehicle enhancement.

what our customers have to say

I recently had an Audi A3 taken to these guys. The vehicle was a bit tired and wanted to say a huge thankyou to Auto Prep as the vehicle looked like new when they had finished.

I highly recommend these guys! Easy to book, brilliant communication, very professional. They use the best products on the market. I went for the tailgate window tint in mazda (very difficult curved glass) and it's done perfectly!

The team looks after a fleet of my cars - Amazing service all round!!!
From bodywork to customisations to interior repair to wrapping and tinting to sound and video upgrades - ALL UNDER ONE ROOF!
