It’s been a little quiet on here recently, but certainly not in the studio! We’ve been busy catching up with bookings, so there’s plenty of recent work to share.

First up is this brand new Audi A3, which visited us for our comprehensive New Car Detail and WAX IS DEAD Supreme 5-year ceramic coating.

Even brand new vehicles benefit from proper preparation before protection is applied, and this Audi received the full treatment.

The work included:

• Thorough exterior wash and decontamination
• Paintwork inspection and machine polishing to refine the finish
• Wheels removed, thoroughly cleaned and ceramic coated
• WAX IS DEAD Supreme 5-year ceramic coating applied to the paintwork
• Exterior glass treated
• Exhaust tips cleaned and protected
• Final detailing and finishing touches throughout

The result is a beautifully finished Audi A3 with exceptional gloss, easier ongoing maintenance and long-lasting protection from day one.

As always, every stage was personally carried out here at our Burgess Hill studio, with the care and attention to detail we’ve been known for since 2003.

Managed to find a little bit of time to get some PPF fitted to the headlights on our own van

With the cost of modern headlights these days, it really is a no-brainer. Some replacement headlight units can cost well over £1,000 each, so protecting them from stone chips, road debris and general wear makes a lot of sense.

WAX IS DEAD NEXT GEN Paint Protection Film is virtually invisible once installed, providing an additional layer of protection without changing the appearance of the headlights.

Headlight PPF is just one of the services we now offer at Atlantic Detailing, from protecting smaller vulnerable areas through to full vehicle coverage.

Classic Mini – Paint Correction & Ceramic Coating

A proper little British classic through the studio!

This lovely Classic Mini came to us for a two-stage paint correction, followed by our Wax is DEAD 5-Year Ceramic Coating.

First of all, full credit to the owner. The car was repainted an impressive 16 years ago, and the paintwork has been exceptionally well maintained over the years.

Our two-stage machine polishing process helped remove accumulated swirl marks and light imperfections, refining the finish and bringing even more depth, clarity and gloss back to the paintwork.

With the correction complete, we applied our professional-grade Wax is DEAD 5-Year Ceramic Coating, providing long-lasting protection, outstanding gloss and easier ongoing maintenance.

A fantastic example of how well older paintwork can look when it’s been properly cared for. A real pleasure to work on!

Back from a well needed holiday and straight back into the next job!

I’ve got a fair few messages and emails to catch up on, so I’ll be working through them and replying as quickly as I can.

I’ve still got a couple of slots available in November if you’re looking to get your car booked in.
