From start to finish.
Seven steps, about four hours, one standard. This is what goes into a Nova Gloss full detail, in the order we do it at your home.

01
First, prepare the surface.
After a walk-around with you and photos of every panel, a controlled pre-rinse lifts loose grit. We work on cool surfaces and adapt pressure and distance to the material.
A thoughtful start.We note the areas that need extra care and choose the process to suit your car. It's the preparation behind a considered detail.Walk-around photosPressure washerControlled fan spray

Wheels first. Nothing overlooked.
Dedicated wheel cleaner, soft brushes for the finish, and careful rinsing through the wheel faces, barrels and arches.
A separate set of tools.Wheel brushes and towels stay separate from paint tools, keeping abrasive brake dust away from the bodywork. Tires are cleaned before their final satin dressing.Wheel cleanerDedicated brushes -

Let the foam do its work.
An even blanket settles across the panels, softening road film before the hand wash begins.
Dwell, without drying.A pH-neutral pre-wash, appropriate dwell time, then a thorough rinse. We give the chemistry time to work so less pressure is needed during contact washing.Foam cannonpH-neutral pre-wash

Every panel. A gentle pass.
Clean microfiber, lubricating shampoo, and measured movements. The clean side of the mitt does the work.
Clean media. Controlled contact.Our two-bucket hand wash helps keep lifted grit away from the paint. We work from cleaner upper panels down and rinse thoroughly before drying.Microfiber wash mittTwo buckets, grit guardsCar shampoo

Prepare. Protect. Preserve.
After washing, we address bonded contamination, dry with a blower and soft microfiber, then apply and buff a protective spray sealant.
Protection starts with preparation.Iron and tar removal and lubricated clay treatment address what washing leaves behind. Sealant helps reduce contaminant adhesion and makes the next wash easier.Iron and tar removerClayDrying towelSpray sealant

Fresh, from the floor up.
Vacuum the seams, carpets and trunk. Clean the mats. Then care for leather, upholstery, and the surfaces you touch every day.
Match the method to the material.Soft brushes, spot treatment, appropriate cleaners, and microfiber lift dirt and body oils. We clean vents, consoles, doors and jambs, then finish with suitable interior protection.Precision vacuumSoft brushesLeather careMicrofiber -

A clear view. A considered finish.
Glass inside and out, tires dressed to a satin sheen, and a check of every edge and detail before we hand your car back.
The final pass matters.Dedicated glass towels help prevent smears. We walk the finish with you, fix anything you point at, and share care tips to keep it looking its best between details.Glass cleanerFinishing microfiberTire dressing
