Picked up on the Monday and dropped with WhiteDetails on the Tuesday for its 2 day New Car Detail with G-Techniq all surface protection. The best start in life for any vehicle.

When ordering a new car, it is important to instruct the supplying dealership NOT to wash, prep or polish your new purchase for fear of inducing damage or scratches. This little Mini is a great example as to why…

Bad contact, poor technique and products can lead to an array defects across your vehicle’s paintwork and areas that are left requiring specialist attention.

As soon as the Mini arrived at the unit we brought the car inside and together, the customer and I assessed the overall condition, highlighting areas of concern that could require additional work.
