Exterior Detailing in Tyldesley

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

An exterior detail is all about getting a Tyldesley car clean without putting fresh scratches into it. We soften the dirt first with a pre-wash and a coat of snow foam, then wash it by hand using two buckets so the grit lifts away into the rinse water instead of being wiped back over the panels. The wheels are done front and back, the arches flushed through, and the whole car dried off by hand at the end.

Where it really earns its place is the winter. Up on the hill the roads get gritted hard, and all that salt and slush gets thrown up onto the paint and into the seams. The sealant we put on afterwards makes water run straight off and stops the road salt clinging on, so the car holds its shine longer and comes clean far quicker the next time round.

We cover Tyldesley and the area around it: Shakerley, Gin Pit, Mosley Common, Higher Green and beyond (M29).

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 Tyldesley: common questions

Does the sealant help with all the winter grit up here?
That is exactly what it is there for. Once the paint is sealed, the salt and grit off the hill roads sit on top rather than bonding to the surface, so a rinse takes most of it straight off. Cars parked out through a Tyldesley winter get the most out of it.
How long before it needs doing again?
You are looking at up to 12 weeks from the sealant, give or take, depending how often the car goes out and gets washed. The giveaway that it is due again is when rain stops beading up and starts lying flat across the panels.
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.
