Hi, I'm Simon

Paint enhancement is designed to address minor paint defects such as swirl marks and light scratches. Deep scratches that penetrate the clear coat or paint layer may require more intensive paint correction or touch-up services. Our detailing experts can assess the severity of the scratches and recommend the best course of action.

Paint enhancement is a process that involves the removal of minor defects such as swirl marks, light scratches, and oxidation from the vehicle's paintwork. This process restores the paint's clarity and depth, resulting in a glossy and smooth finish. It is less intensive than paint correction and is ideal for vehicles with light to moderate imperfections.

Paint enhancement offers several benefits, including the removal of minor paint defects, improved paint clarity and gloss, and enhanced overall appearance of the vehicle. It also provides a smoother surface for applying protective coatings or waxes, which can further protect the paint and maintain its shine.

To maintain the results of paint enhancement, it is important to follow a regular car care routine that includes gentle washing with a pH-neutral shampoo, using microfiber towels for drying, and applying a high-quality wax or sealant. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that can damage the paint. Regular maintenance and touch-ups by a professional detailer can also help preserve the enhanced finish.

The duration of the paint enhancement process depends on the condition of the vehicle's paint and the level of enhancement required. On average, it can take anywhere from 4 to 8 hours to complete. Our detailing experts will assess your vehicle and provide a more accurate time estimate based on its specific needs.

A full car valet includes a thorough cleaning of both the interior and exterior of your vehicle to make it look like new and enhance its value. **Interior:** - Vacuuming the entire interior, including seats, carpets, mats, boot, and side pockets - Shampooing seats, carpets, and mats - Cleaning and buffing all surfaces and materials - Cleaning the dashboard and center console - Cleaning the roof and door linings - Cleaning the windows **Exterior:** - Washing, polishing, and waxing the bodywork - Dressing exterior plastics and tires - Polishing paintwork and glass - Removing tar spots - Applying tyre shine

Yes, tar spots can damage a car's paint if left untreated. While tar spots may not cause immediate severe damage, they can lead to several issues over time: Discoloration and staining of the paintwork, especially noticeable on light-colored vehicles. Potential etching or breaking down of the paint and clear protective coating if left for extended periods. Permanent damage to the paintwork, which can affect the car's appearance and potentially reduce its resale value. Possible difference in paint shade underneath the tar spot when removed after a long time, similar to the effect of removing a picture from a wall. Corrosion of the clear coat, which can lead to more serious issues like rust spots and peeling paint if left untreated for very long periods. To prevent these issues, it's recommended to remove tar spots promptly using appropriate tar removal products and techniques. Regular washing, waxing, and maintenance can also help protect the car's paintwork from tar and other contaminants

Professional car valeting offers a range of benefits beyond just a clean exterior. It helps preserve the paintwork, prolongs the life of your vehicle's interior, and enhances resale value. Additionally, a well-maintained car is more pleasant to drive and can create a positive impression.

No. Customers should follow the same aftercare advice which is advised after the application of any Ceramic.

Ceramic coatings offer several benefits including protection against acids, UV fade, water spotting, swirl resistance, gloss enhancement, and ease of maintenance. They provide a durable and long-lasting shield for your vehicle's paint, ensuring it remains in top condition for years.

When caring for a car that has been ceramic coated, it is crucial to use a shampoo that is pH-neutral and free from harsh chemicals or wax additives. At TidyRide Detailing, we recommend opting for specialized car shampoos designed specifically for ceramic-coated vehicles. These shampoos are formulated to maintain the integrity of the ceramic coating, ensuring long-lasting protection and shine. Using the wrong type of shampoo can strip away the coating or reduce its effectiveness, so always look for products labeled as safe for ceramic coatings. If you have any specific needs or preferences, feel free to reach out to our professional studio in Newton Abbot, and our detailing experts will be happy to recommend the best products for your vehicle's care.

No. This is a ceramic coating infused with a graphene additive.

As with the original 5 Year Paint Coating, the 5 Year Graphene Paint Coating requires a full 24-hours to cure.

Maintaining a ceramic-coated vehicle involves regular washing with a pH-neutral shampoo, avoiding harsh chemicals, and using microfiber towels for drying. It is also recommended to use a ceramic coating maintenance spray to enhance the coating's performance and longevity. Regular inspections and touch-ups by a professional detailer can help keep the coating in optimal condition.

Ceramic coatings and wax serve different purposes. Wax provides a temporary layer of protection and enhances the shine of your vehicle's paint. However, it wears off quickly and requires frequent reapplication. Ceramic coatings, on the other hand, form a permanent bond with the paint, offering long-lasting protection and superior durability.

While it is possible to apply a ceramic coating yourself, it is recommended to have it done by a professional. Proper surface preparation and application techniques are crucial for achieving the best results. A professional detailer has the experience and tools necessary to ensure a flawless application.

The longevity of a ceramic coating depends on the specific product used and the conditions it is exposed to. Generally, ceramic coatings can last anywhere from 1 to 5 years. Regular maintenance and proper care can extend the lifespan of the coating.
