What the Protection Detail does

Months and years of driving leave your paintwork carrying deposits that washing alone will never shift. A combination of clay barring and hand polishing draws them out, so the surface is left as smooth as glass, brighter and genuinely clean rather than simply washed.

A fresh coat of premium sealant is then applied to the bodywork, giving up to 1 year of shine and protection from everyday use. It sits as a barrier between your car's paintwork and the destructive elements your vehicle faces every day — and it leaves water beading off the panels the next time it rains or your car is washed.
