FAQs for Exterior Detailing
Can exterior car detailing get rid of scratches?
A wash and decontamination won’t permanently remove defects. Our Stage 2 sealant can lightly mask fine marring, but true removal needs a paint enhancement/correction. We can assess your paint on arrival in Croydon and advise whether a correction service is suitable.
How long does exterior detailing take?
Typical times: Stage 1: 1-1.5hrs. Stage 2: 1.5- 2hrs. Actual timings may vary depending on the vehicle’s size and condition.
How long does protection from your exterior detailing in Croydon last, and how should I maintain it?
Stage 2’s sealant typically lasts around 3 months. To keep that “just detailed” look, rebook a Maintenance Detail within 5 weeks and get 30% off. It keeps gloss high, water-beading strong, and reduces how often you’ll need a full detail in Croydon.
