Brand New! Fully Protected! Built to Last! ⚡

This stunning all electric Fiat Abarth 500e came to us straight from new, with one goal in mind, preserve that showroom finish from day one.

Although brand new, fresh paintwork often benefits from professional refinement. We carried out a full machine polish to remove minor imperfections and maximise gloss, leaving the paintwork with exceptional clarity and depth.

To lock in that flawless finish, we then applied a premium double layer ceramic coating, providing long lasting protection against the elements while making future maintenance much easier

✨ The result?

- Incredible gloss and depth
- Durable ceramic protection
- Easier washing and maintenance

A finish that's built to stay looking its best!

The owner has also chosen APD Automotive Services to maintain this car going forward, meaning this Abarth will receive regular professional care to keep it looking as good as the day it left the studio.

Protect your investment from the very beginning, Whether your vehicle is brand new or needs bringing back to life, professional detailing makes all the difference.

🔥 CUPRA LEON ESTATE VZ2 | MAGNETIC TECH GREY 🔥

This stunning Cupra Leon Estate VZ2 recently visited us for a comprehensive paint correction and ceramic coating package, bringing the finish to a level that truly does the car justice.

This wasn't simply a wash and polish. Every stage was carefully carried out to restore, refine, protect and enhance every surface

✅ FULL DECONTAMINATION PROCESS:

Before any machine polishing could begin, the vehicle underwent an extensive decontamination process to safely remove embedded contaminants from the paintwork.
This included:
�• Citrus pre-wash and snow foam treatment�• Safe contact wash using premium wash media�• Iron fallout removal to dissolve embedded brake dust and metallic contamination�• Tar removal treatment�• Clay bar decontamination to remove stubborn bonded contaminants from the paint surface
This leaves the paint perfectly clean and allows polishing stages to achieve maximum results

✅ MULTI-STAGE MACHINE POLISHING:

The paintwork was then carefully assessed under specialist lighting before undergoing a full multi-stage machine polish.
This process removed:�• Wash marring�• Fine scratches�• Swirl marks�• Oxidation and dullness�• Surface defects affecting gloss and clarity
The result is dramatically improved paint depth, clarity and reflection.

✅ RECENTLY PAINTED PANEL ORANGE PEEL CORRECTION:

One panel had previously been repainted and displayed significant orange peel texture.
Through careful refinement and correction techniques, the surface was levelled and improved to create a much smoother finish, allowing the panel to blend more consistently with the factory paintwork.

✅ BIRD LIME ETCHING REMOVAL:

Bird droppings can permanently damage paint if left untreated.
Several areas had suffered from bird lime staining and etching which were carefully corrected through polishing, restoring the affected areas and preventing the marks from detracting from the overall finish.

✅ STONE CHIP & DOOR EDGE REPAIRS:

The bonnet had accumulated a number of stone chips while the door edges showed signs of use-related damage.
These defects were rectified to improve the vehicle's appearance and create a much cleaner overall finish before protection was applied.

✅ PANEL PREPARATION:

Once all correction work was completed, every painted surface was thoroughly wiped down using dedicated panel preparation products.
This removes polishing oils and residues, ensuring the ceramic coating bonds directly to the paintwork for maximum durability and performance.

✅ MULTI-YEAR CERAMIC COATING APPLIED:

A professional-grade multi-year ceramic coating was then applied to all painted surfaces and wheels.

Benefits include:�✨ Exceptional gloss and depth�✨ Enhanced colour richness�✨ Increased resistance to environmental contamination�✨ Easier maintenance and cleaning�✨ Hydrophobic water behaviour�✨ Long-term protection against the elements
The wheels were also coated to help reduce brake dust adhesion and make future cleaning significantly easier.

✅ INTERIOR DEEP VALET & FABRIC/LEATHER PROTECTION:

The interior received a full valet, leaving every surface clean, fresh and protected.
Both the leather and cloth elements were treated with dedicated protection products designed to:�• Resist staining�• Reduce wear�• Repel dirt and spills�• Help maintain a factory-fresh appearance for longer
The finished result is a Cupra that looks better than new in many areas, with the gloss, depth and protection to keep it looking its best for years to come.

✨ RANGE ROVER VELAR | PAINT CORRECTION & CERAMIC PROTECTION ✨

This stunning Range Rover Velar came in needing a complete revival to its paintwork.

Under direct sunlight, the vehicle was heavily affected by swirl marks, wash marring, and fine scratches, dulling the depth, gloss, and clarity of the finish.

To restore the paint to its true potential, we carried out a full multi-stage paint correction process, carefully refining the surface to safely eliminate imperfections and bring back that deep, mirror-like gloss the Velar deserves🔥

Once correction was completed, every panel underwent a full isopropyl alcohol prep wipe to remove polishing oils and ensure the surface was perfectly cleansed and ready for protection.

Then a premium ceramic coating was applied locking in the finish and delivering long-term protection and performance

✅ Benefits of Multi-Stage Paint Correction:�• Removes swirl marks, light scratches & oxidation:�• Restores deep gloss and clarity to the paint�• Enhances colour depth and reflection�• Revives the vehicle’s overall appearance�• Increases the visual value of the car

✅ Benefits of Ceramic Coating:�• Long-lasting paint protection�• Extreme gloss and slick finish�• Hydrophobic properties - water & dirt repel effortlessly�• Easier and safer maintenance washes�• UV and environmental contamination resistance�• Helps keep the vehicle looking newer for longer

The final result?
�An ultra-glossy, refined finish with incredible depth and protection — ready to turn heads in every lighting condition ☀️

I keep getting asked a lot about:

Dealership Ceramic Coatings! 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

▪️Dealership “ceramic coatings” are often overpriced add ons with rushed prep work.

▪️The coating itself can be decent, but the result depends almost entirely on the paint correction and application process

▪️Dealerships usually don’t spend the time needed to properly decontaminate, polish, and inspect the paint before applying it.

A dedicated detailing shop lives on reputation and repeat customers, so they typically:

Spend far more time prepping the paint properly
Use higher-grade coatings and apply the coating in controlled conditions

Offer more realistic aftercare and give you direct access to the person doing the work!

Hope this helps!
