“Super professional and friendly. Ash did the most impressive job on our vehicle. It looks brand new! Thoughtful and, frankly, inspired extra touches set her apart from the crowd. We've asked her to come back to transform our other car.”
“I can't recommend Ash and her company highly enough. Precision and perfectionism second to none. It's so refreshing to see someone with so much pride in her work and so talented. I've already recommended Ash to friends and will be using her again. Thank you so much.”
“Ashley came to do my Focus RS and did a brilliant job, would recommend her to anyone.”
“Wow, what can I say? 5 star service! Great communication, easy to book in. Ash did an amazing job on my car! It was muddy, sandy, covered in dog hair. Now looks brand new. Highly recommend and will be booking again. Thankyou.”
“I am absolutely delighted with the results on my car. I have 2 dogs and the interior was very dirty beforehand. Ash tirelessly worked to remove the fur and mud throughout.”
“Ash done a full detail and 1 step polish on my van and done an amazing job. The car looks better than when I got it! Absolutely amazing results, couldn't be happier. Would recommend to anyone!”

Why one a day
Most detailers book three cars a day. I book one.
Plenty of places advertise a full detail in ninety minutes. I genuinely can't see how that works — cleaning a boot properly can take an hour on its own.
So I only take one vehicle a day. That means no clock-watching, no cutting the polish short because there's another car waiting on the drive, and no dragging yesterday's grit across your paint with a tired wash mitt.
It also means I have to charge more than the hand wash down the road. That's the trade, and I'd rather be upfront about it than pretend otherwise.
- Fresh microfibres and regularly replaced mitts on every car
- Non-acidic wheel cleaner — safe on every finish
- Premium products, whether it's a Kia Rio or a Bugatti
- Honest advice when a cheaper option is the right one
The process
Six stages. Every single car.
Every stage, every car. This is what separates a detail from a wash.
Decontaminate
Citrus pre-wash, snow foam and a full chemical decontamination — iron fallout and tar dissolved off the paint rather than rubbed off it. Nothing gets touched until the grit is gone — that's what causes swirl marks.
Wash safely
Two buckets, fresh microfibre mitts, non-acidic wheel cleaner. Every panel by hand.
Correct
Machine polish where the paint needs it. 70–80% of swirls and light scratches, cut out properly.
Deep clean inside
Extraction, steam and sanitisation. Vents, seams, stitch lines, panel gaps — fine-pick detailing throughout.
Protect
Ceramic sealant, wax or a multi-year coating. Glass treated, trims conditioned, tyres dressed.
Aftercare
Advice on keeping it that way — and why an automated wash undoes the work fastest. A two-bucket hand wash and a plush drying towel is all it takes.
Areas covered
I come to you, across Kent.

Before you book
The questions I get asked most.
Why are you more expensive than my local car wash?
Because a cheap car wash is the single biggest cause of swirl marks and scratches in paintwork. The same brushes and the same dirty mitts go over every car, dragging the last customer's grit across yours.
I use fresh microfibres, regularly replaced brushes and mitts, and quality products on every car regardless of whether it's a Kia Rio or a Bugatti. Your local wash may well be cheaper today. The scratches it leaves behind cost far more to correct later than the difference you saved.
How does booking a day work?
I only ever take one vehicle a day, so the day is yours — your car isn't sharing my time with anyone else's.
When I confirm your booking I'll give you a realistic idea of what to expect so you can plan around it. I'd always rather be straight with you upfront than rush the job to hit a slot.
Do you need parking, water and electricity?
Yes — a parking space next to the vehicle, an outside tap and a plug point.
The space matters as much as the water. Everything I use travels with me, so it all has to sit within reach of the car while I work, and I need your outside tap to run the wash. I carry 30 metres of hose and extension lead, so anywhere within that distance of the house is fine.
If any of that is a problem, say so when you enquire — there's usually a way around it and I'd much rather sort it out beforehand than turn up and find we're stuck.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully insured. I'm happy to provide the documents as proof if you'd like to see them before booking.
