This detail is perfect for cars that are in good condition but want that new car look inside and out with a swirl and light scratch free deep shine to the paint work. I only use the highest quality natural products which are guaranteed to produce a superb finish. The latest Nano Tech sealants for paint, windows and wheels can also be added at extra cost. These add a crystal clear hard coat to the paint, protecting it from severe element damage e.g. UV rays, brake dust etc while leaving a mirror finish to the paint.
