We apply a degreaser to the bottom half of the vehicle, especially attention to areas like wheels, sill, arches and door shuts where mostly grease and grit can gather unseen. A gentle pressure wash first and than a pre wash snow foam, rinse and a full wash using 2 buckets and lambs wool wash mitts.
Once car is washed and rinsed, the car is then dried with ultra soft drying towels.

PAINT
The car's paintwork becomes very quickly contaminated by a number of harmful substances, for example iron fillings from brakes, road tar, tree zap and bird droppings. Iron fillings on the car look like rust which is important to remove all contaminants before caring out any paint correction or polishing.
We use special products and very subtle techniques to carry out this work, using a clay bar to remove contaminations from paintwork. Any overspray from body repair will be removed. This treatment will restore the paintwork to a smooth, clean finish, ready for correction, protection and finishing treatments as specified with your chosen service.

Smartshine Car Detailing not only adds a protection layer to your windscreen and Windows. It greatly improves visibility too. This is especially important when driving in wet conditions. When a smeared windscreen can severely hamper your driving ability to see clear and safely ahead.
The hydrophobic ( water repellent coating) properties of glass treatment products are such that, at speeds above 30 mph, rain landing on your windscreen will bead together and flu off without the use of your wipers. This treatment is spectacular and makes driving in adverse weather condition much safer.

Having your car detailed, at the same time your engine bay is also important to be cleaned. As engine bay areas are exposed to the elements, they can become very dirty from general road grime and over the winter road salt.
We use a safe de - greaser, agitate with various detailing brushes, dress all plastics and rubbers in non slick products. The engine bay will be transformed back to its naturally dressed new state.

VINYL GRAPHICS
Why you should use Smartshine Car Detailing to remove your vinyl graphics off your vehicle. You may not at realise the complications involved with removing vinyls. There are many factory's with complicate the process. How long the vinyl have been attached to the paintwork. The longer vinyl has been in place, the harder it is to remove and the more damage you may cause to the paint around and underneath the vinyl.
Long term UV expose eventually bakes all the plasticisers out of the face film, making it harder to remove the graphics.Using incorrect tools can damage your paint so severely that you require a partial or total body repair, the cost of which far exceed the small cost of professional vinyl removal.In most case once the sign writing / graphics has been removed, adhesive residue, glue is left on the paintwork. Also ghosting of letters, numbers and logo's can be left behind on the paintwork, this is where the UV from the sun has baked on and stained the paintwork.
Smartshine Car Detailing can safely remove all sign writing. graphics, wraps and vinyl. Whether it be for a vehicle that is to vela old or new graphics which are to be applied. We offer a additional service to remove all adhesive residue and glue and cater for the removal of the ghosting of letters.

BEFORE
This image above showing 50 / 50 of the left half door been machine polish and right side has many swirl marks. What a massive difference a machine polishing / paint correction process can totally improve your car's paintwork appearance.
Here's the improvement from a paint correction machine polish, as you can easily tell, there's a huge improvement in colour and swirl marks. I would rate this at 95 / 100 % perfect as most or all swirl marks are safely been removed and paintwork has been improved from a dull, greyish colour to a deep gloss black again.
Smartshine Car Detailing for this type of machine polishing, one should also have a few pad and polish combinations handy so as a try and get much correction as possible for a high depth gloss finish. Once we have finished machine polished the paintwork we recommend having ceramic coatings to be applied to your paintwork to prevent future swirl marks with very low maintenance.
