Hours, not minutes

Real detailing takes time

Ask what’s included

Wash ≠ polish ≠ ceramic

There is no single statutory price list. Packages vary widely — compare scope, not only the headline fee.

What to know

Valet vs detailing

A valet usually means interior and exterior clean to a high standard. Detailing adds correction and protection steps. “Showroom clean” claims are marketing — ask for the checklist.

What to ask in Swansea

Indoor bay or mobile? How they handle ceramic-coated cars. Whether machine polish is included. Photos of similar work.

Care and protection is separate

Tint, PPF and ceramic coatings are a different chapter — longer-lasting films and coatings, not a one-off clean.

Common questions

Will detailing fix scratches?: Light swirl marks may improve with polish. Deep scratches to primer or metal need body repair.
Is mobile detailing as good?: It can be, if water, power and products are handled properly. Ask about weather contingency.
