Frequently asked questions

Car detailing is a thorough, precision cleaning and restoration of a vehicle. It typically includes paint decontamination (clay bar treatment), machine polishing to remove swirl marks and scratches, interior deep-cleaning, and the application of a protective sealant or ceramic coating.

A full detail can take anywhere from 4 hours to 2 full days. A paint correction alone — removing swirls, scratches, and oxidation — typically takes 8–16 hours of careful machine work. The condition of the paintwork and the level of service chosen determines the time.

A basic detail starts around £100–£200. Paint correction and ceramic coating packages range from £500 to £2,000+, depending on vehicle size and condition. Use Fixaroo to compare quotes from detailers in Southend-on-Sea.

Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that chemically bonds with your car's paintwork, creating a durable hydrophobic layer that repels water, dirt, and UV rays. A professional-grade coating can last 2–5 years and dramatically reduces maintenance effort.

Use a pH-neutral car shampoo for regular washes, avoid brush-based automatic car washes, apply a quick detailer spray between washes to maintain the shine, and arrange an annual maintenance coating to refresh the protection.
