Here you will find some records of my work, along with contact details if you are interested in getting your car done. Based in Exmouth, Devon, I charge £25 an hour including all materials provided by myself. I prefer to work at the unit I use on Victoria Way and cars left with me for the duration. However I could come to you if you if necessary - Exeter, East Devon and surrounding area. 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 enquire about a simple "in and out" valet or refresh job. Generally a full enchancement polish will be on average 6 hours long. If areas require wet sanding or headlights need restoring, this can add time. The cleaning process needs to be thorough which is why I always clay my cars using the finest Bilt Hamber clays which lifts contaminants from the paints 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. 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 bodyshop 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. I also have a polymer sealant bond which I have started using recently that gives an excellent sealed in shine!
