Care for the details you notice.

Our luxury car detailing in London is built around controlled pressure, clean tools and products chosen for your vehicle's materials. Small decisions protect the finish.

Swirl-free hand wash

Lambswool mitts, separate wash media and careful drying keep delicate paint away from harsh contact.

Paint correction

Multi-stage machine polishing reduces haze, wash marks and scratches while keeping clear coat removal measured.

Leather conditioning

Leather, stitching, wood and trim are cleaned with the right finish, without leaving a greasy surface.

Soft-top protection

Convertible roofs are brushed, rinsed and treated to help shed rain while preserving the fabric's texture.

Wheels and tyres

Brake dust is lifted from intricate wheels, then tyres receive a clean, restrained finish that does not sling.

Engine bay and underside

Safe, controlled cleaning reaches the areas that collect road film, with sensitive components treated carefully.

Clean it gently. Keep it true.

Classic paint, chrome, aged leather and polished wood need judgement before they need polish. We inspect the finish first, then set a process that respects its history.

  • Low-impact cleaning for original and older paint
  • Chrome and brightwork polishing without dulling edges
  • Leather and wood care for cabins with real patina
  • Storage preparation with anti-corrosion advice and dust-cover guidance

Owners' notes

Quiet work. Visible results.

People bring us cars with history, responsibility and a very specific idea of how they should look.

"The Jaguar came back with its original paint looking calm and deep. The team explained every step and treated the brightwork with real care."
Thomaz D., classic Jaguar owner

"Our wedding car looked immaculate in every photograph. The cabin was fresh, the ribbons sat perfectly and there was no wax residue."

Why did I choose Garside's Detailing Works? Because the inspection was careful, the finish was measured and my Porsche was handled like it mattered.

Clear answers

Specialist detailing FAQs.

Tell us what the car needs. We will tell you what it does not.

Do you use special products for classic paint?

Yes. We assess paint age, hardness and condition before choosing wash chemicals, clay treatment and polishing compounds.

Can you clean and protect a convertible soft top?

Yes. We clean fabric and vinyl roofs with material-appropriate brushes and apply a protective treatment after the surface dries.

Do you offer wedding day touch-ups?

On-the-day touch-ups can be arranged for agreed routes and timings. Ask when you request your quote.

How far in advance should I book for a wedding?

Contact us as soon as your date and vehicle are confirmed. Earlier booking gives us more room for weather planning and final checks.
