02 / 08
Car-maker approved products
Most chemicals carry European manufacturer approvals.
Trim, carbon fibre, matte plastics and touchscreens only get products certified not to stain or damage them.
03 / 08
Wheel brushes
Long brushes for between the spokes and inside the barrels.
Only non-acidic, pH-neutral wheel cleaners are used, so wheels come clean without staining or etching.
04 / 08
Pure water tank
A 250-litre tank of deionised water.
No minerals means no water spots, so paint and glass dry crisp and streak-free.
05 / 08
Vacuum
Air first, then a deep vacuum.
Every crevice is blown out with air before the deep vacuum, and mats are drill-brushed and steamed.
06 / 08
Hose reel and washer
A high-flow washer chosen for prestige cars.
Volume, not pressure: it lays down foam and rinses rather than blasting, which can lift decals or push water into electrics.
07 / 08
Generator
A 5,000-watt inverter generator.
Its own power, so the work can happen wherever there’s room to park beside the car.
08 / 08
Foam cannon
Thick foam before anything touches the paint.
The foam lifts most of the dirt first. No harsh acids, no clay, no blasting.
Inside the van
Everything has its place
Every bottle, brush and hose has a rack, a strap or a hook, so the van arrives ready to work.
01
Its own power
A 5,000-watt inverter generator.
Wherever there’s room to park beside the car with safe space around it, the work can happen. You can stay at work or indoors the whole time. For long polishing days, plugging into your mains is preferred, as it’s quieter for you and your neighbours.
02
Pure, spot-free water
A 250-litre tank of deionised water.
Tap water is full of calcium and magnesium that dry into white spots. Deionised water has none, so paint and glass dry crisp and streak-free, and the wash is slicker and safer.
03
Volume, not pressure
A high-flow washer chosen for prestige cars.
Instead of blasting at very high pressure, which can lift decals or push water into electrics, it lays down thick foam that carries most of the grime off before the paint is touched.
04
Car-maker approved products
Most chemicals carry European manufacturer approvals.
Anodised trim, carbon fibre, matte plastics and touchscreens are only treated with products certified not to stain or damage them. Ceramic coatings stay clean and keep working.
05
Measured, not guessed
Digital paint-depth gauges.
Before any polishing, the clear coat is measured so there’s always a safe amount left. If it’s too thin, polishing doesn’t go ahead.
