A proper clean, without the car wash queue

When did you last visit a car wash and come home happy? Brushes leave swirl marks, the inside barely gets touched and you lose half a Saturday. The mini detail is our answer: everything inside and out cleaned by hand, at your place, while you get on with your day.

It suits cars that are in reasonable shape and need regular upkeep rather than a rescue job. Some detailers call it a smart detail or an elite wash; the idea is the same.

What makes it different from a quick wash

Every panel is washed by hand with clean microfibre cloths, never a brush. Wheels and tyres get their own cleaning, and the paint is finished with a ceramic sealant that keeps it glossy and makes the next wash easier for weeks. Inside, the whole car is vacuumed, the plastics, dash and console are wiped and dressed, leather is wiped down and the glass is cleaned on both sides.

When to choose something else

Seats and carpets aren't shampooed in a mini detail, and there's no machine polish. If there are stains, pet hair or smells to deal with, the full detail is the better fit. If you're selling, look at the presale detail.
