Detailing

Detailing is the perfect, detailed cleaning of every inch of your vehicle, with the right means, machines and expertise. The subsequent treatment by our specialists results in a “better than new” condition for all treated surfaces. It should not be confused with simply cleaning the vehicle, which can be done at home or at a car wash.

No, but even premium and small-series manufacturers are limited in the time they spend on the finish and final inspection of a vehicle. At INCUTE we can take the manufacturer’s paint to the next level and beyond. The improvement possible even on a brand-new car is considerable.

Our detailing levels range from 1 to 5. The difference mainly relates to how far the paint is corrected. Level 1 is an entry-level detailing that focuses on protection, while Level 5, our signature detailing, is our most complex procedure and levels the clear coat for a 100% correction factor.

Depending on the level, the time scale is usually one to five days. Some special projects and more complicated cars may take longer.

A lot depends on how the car is maintained. If it is correctly maintained, and depending on how it is used, the results may last twelve months or more. Most customers have their cars detailed once per year, and many have regular maintenance treatments carried out by us in between to ensure the longevity of the finish.

Dimpling refers to colour distortions: the effect found in the clear coat after the paint is applied in the factory. All cars display dimpling, even when new, and the level varies by car and by area of the bodywork.

No, it has no influence on the manufacturer’s warranty for your car’s paint. In fact, correct maintenance is an important part of caring for your vehicle’s paint during the warranty period and beyond.

We are independent, so we choose our products based on strict tests and comparisons. We use a mixture of the leading products in the sector, each with its own individual purpose.

If dust and dirt are not removed correctly, particles and contaminants such as bird droppings, insect remains and tar are rubbed into the paint by the cleaning process and cause visible damage. In most car washes, sponges and brushes are used on many vehicles before yours, and contaminants in them scratch the paint. Even modern washing systems that advertise scratch-free washing often cause fine scratches on unprotected paint.

Polishing mechanically removes an extremely thin layer of the clear coat that covers the coloured paint. For it to succeed, the surface must first be washed and decontaminated. Our motto for the process is “as little as possible, as much as necessary”.

Most new vehicles sustain micro scratches or other damage during transport, shipping, storage or the pre-delivery inspection, when the factory wax and protective film are removed. This is almost unavoidable and particularly annoying for the owner of a new vehicle. We recommend that every new car is brought to INCUTE to be checked over.
