For all your car paintwork, polishing and detailing needs!
Devon Car Detailing is based in Exmouth, Devon. I am an independent business owner and my fees are £24 per hour including all materials, provided by myself. I prefer to give you quality service from my home address and cars are left with me for the duration. However, I could come to you if you if necessary – Exeter, East Devon, and the surrounding area.
I am happy to inspect any car brought to me free of charge. Although I can do simple valeting and car cleaning too, I definitely prefer the paint correction and maintenance side of this work. I don’t mind if you want to inquire about a simple “in and out” valet or refresh job. Call for service today! 07974 074271
A thorough clean from beginning to end.
The cleaning process needs to be thorough which is why I always clay my cars using the finest Bilt Hamber clays which lift contaminants from the paint’s surface which would usually cause more harm than good when polished over. Once an ultra smooth paint surface is obtained, I tape off plastics and set to work on machine polishing. Before the actual machine polishing, I take paint depth readouts across the entire car to look for potential thin paint, repainted areas, which might need special attention. This is a must before any polishing is done.
This stage removes swirls from the paint surface and generally smooths off the lacquer to provide a smoother shine/reflection. On unlacquered surfaces, this will remove sun bleached paintwork to bring back original glorious paintwork hidden underneath. Heavier scratches will not be affected by machine polishing. However, I am proficient at wet sanding which involves sanding down the lacquer around scratches to remove them, then refining the paint up with higher grades of paper, before a final polish to shine up again. Scratches which are deep enough to catch a fingernail hard are generally beyond my rescue and require special treatment by a chip removal company, or a body shop to fully respray the affected area.
To finish the process, I seal in the freshly polished paintwork with a heavy duty wax which lasts several months.
