Wax & Paint Protection in Ashton-in-Makerfield

Decontaminated, tar free paint finished with a hand applied wax for deep gloss and months of protection. Done at your address across Golborne and Leigh. Around three miles from our Golborne base.

This is the one for anyone who wants their motor properly glossy and holding it for a good while, sat between a basic sealed finish and a full ceramic. Where the finish comes from is the graft beforehand, getting the paint clean, drawing out the bonded tar and lifting off any old sticker or glue marks, all before a scrap of wax goes on. Only when the panels are truly smooth do we work the wax in by hand.

On darker colours in particular, the depth a hand wax throws down is something a sealant just cannot touch, and there is a proper satisfaction to it on a car you take pride in. It holds up for three to six months, has the rain rolling off in beads and keeps day to day grime from grabbing on, so the shine sticks around and washing stays quick. It is a lovely finish to put on a motor that means something to its owner.

We cover Ashton-in-Makerfield and the area around it: Bryn, Garswood, Stubshaw Cross, North Ashton, Land Gate and beyond (WN4).

What’s included

  • Liquid decontamination so the paint is truly smooth
  • Tar spots and glue or adhesive residue removed
  • Quality wax applied by hand, not rushed on
  • Deep, warm gloss, especially on darker colours
  • Three to six months of protection from the weather
  • Water beads off and the car stays cleaner for longer

How it works

Safe wash

A full pre-wash and safe two bucket contact wash so the paint is clean before any decontamination begins.

Decontaminate

A liquid decontamination pulls out embedded fallout, then tar spots and any glue residue are removed by hand.

Prep the surface

The paint is clayed and wiped down so it is perfectly smooth and ready to take the wax evenly.

Wax and buff

A quality wax is applied by hand, left to bond, then buffed to a deep gloss and checked over in good light.

Wax & Paint Protection in Ashton-in-Makerfield: common questions

How long will a hand wax last?
Three to six months as a rule, down to your mileage and how often the car sees a wash. Leave it out in the weather all winter and it works a bit harder, so an occasional rinse keeps it going, and the moment the water stops sheeting off you know it is ready for a fresh coat.
Do you do it at my house, or do I bring the car somewhere?
At yours, the whole thing, on the drive in WN4. The result lives and dies by the prep, so we put the time into getting the paint clean, smooth and tar free first, then lay the wax on by hand and buff it up to that deep, wet look.
What is the difference between wax and a ceramic coating?
A hand applied wax gives a beautiful deep gloss and three to six months of protection, and it is a lovely job at a sensible price. A ceramic coating is a longer lasting, harder wearing protection measured in years rather than months, but it costs more and needs more preparation. We offer both and will tell you which suits your car and budget.
Why does the paint need decontaminating first?
Over time tiny metal particles, tar and industrial fallout bond to the paint and make it feel rough even after washing. Waxing over that just seals the dirt in. Decontaminating and claying first means the wax bonds to clean, smooth paint, so it looks better and lasts longer.
Is this better on darker cars?
Wax gives a warm, deep gloss that really shows on black, dark blue and grey paint. Lighter colours benefit too, mostly from the protection and easier cleaning, but the visual jump is biggest on darker cars.
