Detailing that survives the second wash

The difference between a valet and a detail is what is still there in six months. A quick clean and a coat of wax looks superb on the driveway and is gone by the third rain. Proper detailing starts with decontamination and machine paint correction — removing the swirl marks and wash marring that dull a colour — and only then applies protection that is engineered to last.

ACR Automobile arranges this through detailers we have used on our own customers’ cars for years. Nothing is rushed, nothing is polished away that does not need to be, and paint depth is measured before a machine touches it. On a car with thin or previously repaired paint, knowing when to stop is the whole skill.

Protection, chosen for the car and the mileage

Paint protection film is the answer for stone chips: a clear, self-healing urethane film applied to the front end, or the whole car, taking the damage instead of the paint. Ceramic coating is the answer for chemical etching, water spotting and week-to-week cleaning — it will not stop a stone, but it makes the car dramatically easier to keep right. Most owners of a car that gets used properly want both, and we will tell you where each one earns its money on your particular vehicle.

Why ACR Automobile

Detailing & Valeting, done properly

Paint depth measured first

Readings taken across the car before correction, so we never chase a swirl into thin or previously repaired paint.

Machine paint correction

Multi-stage correction to remove swirls, holograms and wash marring rather than temporarily filling them.

PPF that is cut for your car

Self-healing paint protection film, pattern-cut or bespoke-fitted, with wrapped edges where the panel allows.

Genuine ceramic coatings

Professional-grade coatings applied in controlled conditions with the cure time they actually require.

Collected and returned

We collect the car and bring it back — you never have to build a day around dropping it off.

Discreet handling

Unmarked collection, secure premises and no photographs of your car published without your say-so.

Paint depth measured first

Paint depth is measured across the car before any machine touches it — that is what stops a correction becoming a respray.

Questions

Frequently asked

What is the difference between valeting and detailing?
Valeting cleans the car. Detailing corrects and protects it. A detail includes decontamination and machine paint correction to physically remove swirl marks and marring, followed by durable protection — work measured in days, not hours.
Should I choose PPF or ceramic coating?
They solve different problems. Paint protection film physically absorbs stone chips and is what you want on the front end of a car that sees motorways. Ceramic coating resists chemical etching and water spotting and makes weekly cleaning far easier, but will not stop a stone. Many owners fit PPF to the front and coat the rest.
How long does ceramic coating last?
A professionally applied coating typically performs for two to five years depending on the product, the mileage and how the car is washed afterwards. Maintenance washing matters more than most people expect, and we will show you what to do.
Can you correct paint on a car that has been resprayed?
Usually, but carefully. We take paint depth readings across the car first. Where a panel has been repainted or is already thin we adjust the approach — or advise against correction on that panel entirely rather than risk burning through.
Do you collect and deliver the car?
Yes. Collection and delivery across London and Surrey is part of the service, fully insured both ways. Detailing work almost always takes more than a day, so it would be an odd thing to leave to you.
Is detailing worth it before selling?
It is one of the few things that reliably returns more than it costs. Corrected paint and a properly finished interior change the first impression completely, and we can combine pre-sale preparation with an MOT and any outstanding servicing.
Can you protect a brand-new car before I use it?
Yes, and it is the ideal time. Applying PPF and coating to undamaged factory paint means no correction is needed first, so it is both the cheapest and the best result you will ever get on that car.
