Paint protection film

Stop stone chips before they happen.

Paint protection film isn’t just for supercars – a partial front is the most popular choice for new, lease and finance cars. Pick an option to see what’s covered.

Paint correction

Swirls out. Depth back.

Machine polishing removes the swirl marks left by brush car washes and poor technique – bringing back real gloss on any car, old or new.

  • “Two kids and a dog had destroyed the inside. It came back smelling and looking brand new – I honestly didn’t think the seats would come up that well. Great price too.”

    Sarah M.

    Toyota RAV4

    Full valet + pet hair removal

  • “I pop in every Saturday morning, it’s done in half an hour and the car always looks spotless. Worth every penny of the monthly fee.”

    James K.

    Ford Focus

    Wash Club Plus

  • “The swirls from the car wash are completely gone and the paint looks deeper than when I bought it. Washing it now takes ten minutes.”

    Aisha R.
