Used car detailing.
Bringing back the shine and the smiles.
Properly perfected paintwork is a thing of beauty, and we are able to achieve sensational results from tired, scratched, swirly, oxidised, etched and stained paint.
Our polishing processes are world-renowned, building on extensive R&D and the very highest quality polishing products from Lake Country, to ensure a finish that outshines the competition – and truly lasts.
Older vehicles tend to have had more repairs and exhibit a broader combination of defects than newer ones, which means our experience is invaluable. One panel to the next could require a completely different approach.
Thanks to years of extensive in-house testing and development (leaning heavily on Kelly Harris’s research and development background), we have devised paint correction methods that are effective, safe, and replicable, and our understanding of the paint process (since we paint cars in-house) helps us even further. Machine polishing, despite how complicated some websites and videos will attempt to make it sound, is really just ‘abrasion’ – but the skill required to achieve excellent results comes down to understanding the science behind diminishing compounds, pressures, speeds, angles, temperatures, surface areas, filler extraction, paint thickness and varying densities – a balancing act that becomes an art with experience.
To complement the transformation we can restore and replenish the appearance of plastics, rubbers, trims, glass, chrome, fabrics and leather. With the extensive range of optional extras available, practically every visual aspect of your car can be totally rejuvenated under one roof, in one trip.
At Lake Country UK, we will consult with you and offer the benefit of over a century of detailing and automotive expertise. We understand that sometimes ‘absolute perfection’ is all that matters, sometimes a ‘massive improvement’ is enough, and sometimes a ‘tidy up’ is all you need, so we have detailing packages available that take this into account. There will be a ‘sweet spot’ for you, your car and your budget, and a quick general inspection is free – you are welcome to visit any time we’re open. Alternatively, if your car’s had an eventful or particularly long life, or if you’d simply prefer us to fully investigate and document its current condition before deciding what route to take, we do offer an in-depth hour-long inspection service.
