WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN VALETING AND DETAILING?

Typical valeting services are low cost, quick services that generally do more harm than good. Detailing is the systematic cleaning, enhancing and protecting of all of the surfaces on a vehicle which ultimately leads to better results and longer lasting protection.

WHAT IS PAINTWORK CORRECTION?

Most vehicles suffer from paintwork defects which are visible in direct light and these are generally swirl marks, light scratches in the clearcoat of the paintwork. Paintwork correction is the removal of these defects – using a machine polisher to remove 1 or 2 microns of paint so that it is re-leveled and can reflect light perfectly. Once the paintwork is defect free this means the paintwork can look it’s best – High gloss and deep reflections.

Every single vehicle we prepare is detailed to the same high standard every single time. We have a very careful eye for detail and our quality control process is second to none. Detailing is our passion and Crystal Clear aims to way-over exceed your expectations.

HOW DO I BOOK?

WHAT ARE THE TERMS FOR CANCELLATIONS?

Unfortunately there is a £150 cancellation fee for cancellations made within 24 hours before the treatment.

WHY ARE YOUR PRICES SO EXPENSIVE COMPARED WITH VALETERS?

Detailing is a very in-depth process and can sometimes take many days to fully detail a car. To add to this, Crystal Clear has spent years refining the detailing process and has also invested heavily in the latest equipment including waxes which can cost up to £7000 per pot! When you consider this, the price isn’t that expensive at all, especially when there is arguably no one better than Crystal Clear.

MY CAR IS BRAND NEW SHOULD I GET IT DETAILED, AND IF SO, WHAT WOULD THE BENEFITS BE?

Even brand new cars are delivered to the customer with paintwork defects and low levels of gloss. Crystal Clear has detailed many brand new cars meaning that the new car is protected and looking as good as it should. Crystal Clear applies a nano composite materials to brand new cars which harden and help prevent swirl marks and hazing returning in the future.

WHAT DO SWIRL MARKS AND MACHINE BUFFER MARKS LOOK LIKE?

If you take a look at the treatments page, there is a before and after photographs of swirl marks in the paintwork. These are both defects in the clearcoat of the paintwork and as a result the light does not reflect perfectly off the panels.
