The Make Over in Wolverhampton

The whole car sorted in a day, from £285. A full deep clean inside and out, the engine bay cleaned and dressed, then a gloss-enhancing machine polish that lifts 25-35% of the swirl marks, sealed with a twelve-month Fusso wax. Enhancement, not correction - if you want the swirls cut out rather than softened, that is paint correction from £280.

Make Over enhancement detail badge Why It Matters

A clean car and a
glossy car are not the same thing

You can wash a car perfectly and it will still look flat under a street lamp. That is the fine web of swirl marks sitting in the clear coat, scattering the light instead of reflecting it, put there over years by sponges and automatic car washes.

The Make Over is the day that fixes how the car reads. A full deep clean first, then a single gloss-enhancing polish pass of around two hours across every panel, lifting roughly 25-35% of the swirl marks. It is not cutting the clear coat down, so the deeper scratches stay - and we will tell you that before you book rather than after.

  • Depth and reflection back in the paint
  • Engine bay done, not skipped
  • Sealed with a 12-month Fusso wax
  • Honest expectations - we will not claim to remove everything
The Package

What a Make Over actually involves

Around six hours on site, inside and out, from £285 depending on size and condition. Everything in the £135 Deep Clean, plus the engine bay, plus the paint.

01

Full deep clean

The complete Deep Clean first - safe wash, chemical decontamination, tar and iron fallout out of the paint, seats and carpets extracted, leather cleaned.

02

Engine bay

Safely cleaned and dressed. The bit a normal valet skips, and the first thing a buyer opens.

03

Gloss polish

A gloss-enhancing machine polish worked panel by panel under inspection lighting, lifting around 25-35% of the swirl marks.

04

Fusso wax

Finished with Fusso Coat, a Japanese hard paste wax rated at around twelve months, so the gloss is protected rather than washed off in a fortnight.

Not Just Paint

Engine bays
and the details

A Make Over day is the right time to sort the things that get skipped on a normal valet - a safely cleaned and dressed engine bay being the obvious one, especially if the car is heading for sale.

  • Engine bay cleaned and dressed
  • Alloys cleaned with specialist brushes, tyres dressed
  • Iron fallout and tar removed from paint and wheels

Questions

Make Over FAQs

No, and we would rather say so up front. The Make Over lifts around 25-35% of the light swirl marks. Deeper scratches you can catch a fingernail in have gone through the clear coat and polishing will not bring those back. If you want the swirls properly cut out, that is a Stage 1 paint correction at up to 75%, from £280.
A Full Valet at £100 cleans the car. The Make Over cleans it to Deep Clean standard, does the engine bay, and then works on the paint itself with a machine polish and a twelve-month wax. One is cleaning, the other is cleaning plus paint.
The polish is permanent - those swirls are gone. The Fusso wax protecting it is rated at around twelve months with sensible washing. Back through an automatic car wash, weeks, and you will be putting the swirls straight back in.
A Make Over improves how the paint looks now and protects it for about a year. A ceramic coating from £350 includes a full decontamination and a Stage 1 machine polish, then locks that finish in for two to seven years. If the paint is swirled and you want it fixed rather than flattered, correct it first - a coating seals in whatever is underneath it.
Yes - that is how we work. We bring our own deionised water and equipment, so all we need is an outside socket and room to work around the car. Around six hours on site.
