Exterior Detailing in Hindley

The outside of the car cleaned the safe way and sealed to last, done on your drive across Golborne, Leigh and nearby. Around four miles from our Golborne base.

The outside is where the miles really show, and an exterior detail puts that right without grinding more scratches in. We soak the car in a citrus pre-wash and foam to float off the loose muck first, then wash by hand with two buckets so the grit ends up in the rinse water and not back on your panels. Wheels are cleaned front and back and the arches flushed through before anything gets sealed.

Where it pays off in Hindley is through the winter. Cars that spend the week running over to Wigan and back sit in salt and gritter spray for months, and that eats away at a finish left bare. The sealant we put on top makes the water sheet away and stops the salt and film keying to the paint, so the motor stays cleaner and the next wash takes half the effort.

We cover Hindley and the area around it: Hindley Green, Castle Hill, Amberswood, Lowe Mill, Ladies Lane and beyond (WN2).

How it works

Pre-wash and foam

A citrus pre-wash and snow foam soak the dirt and lift what they can before anything touches the paint.

Wheels and arches

Wheels cleaned on the faces and barrels and the arches flushed out, so the dirtiest parts are dealt with first.

Safe contact wash

A two bucket hand wash that rinses grit away rather than grinding it in, then dried with a soft drying towel.

Seal and dress

Paint sealed for up to 12 weeks, tyres dressed and wheels protected, then a final check over in good light.

Exterior Detailing in Hindley: common questions

My alloys are covered in brake dust, can you shift it?
Usually, yes. Commuter cars braking through Hindley and out on the motorway bake brake dust onto the wheels, and we clean them on the face and round the barrel, then flush the arch behind. If it has been left to bond for years we will be honest about how far back it will come.
How often is an exterior detail worth doing?
For most Hindley cars, every couple of months keeps the protection topped up and the paint safe. You can tell it is wearing off when the rain stops beading and starts sitting in flat sheets on the panels, and that is the point to get it booked back in.
What is the two bucket method and why does it matter?
One bucket has your clean wash mix, the other is for rinsing the mitt. Every time you wipe a panel you rinse the grit off the mitt in the second bucket before going back to the soap, so you are not dragging dirt across the paint. It is the simple reason a hand wash does not swirl the finish the way a sponge and one bucket does.
How long does the paint sealant last?
The sealant we use lasts up to 12 weeks depending on how often the car is driven and washed. It makes rain bead and run off and keeps road dirt from bonding, so the car stays cleaner between visits and the next wash is easier.
Can you get my alloys properly clean?
Yes. We clean the wheels on the faces and the barrels, not just the bits you see, and flush out the arches behind them. Baked on brake dust that has been left a long time sometimes needs extra work, and we will flag anything that will not come back to new.
