What Our Customers Say
5.0
“Took my nearly 20-year-old Audi A3 S-Line to TH Detailing for a full exterior deep clean and machine polish — and honestly, I’m blown away. The finish is unbelievable, far beyond anything I expected. The paintwork looks brand new again, with a shine I didn’t think was possible on a car this age. Only had it back a couple of days and I still can’t stop looking at it. Proper transformation. Top quality work and attention to detail — highly recommend!”
Chris Day
Audi A3 S-Line
“Absolutely top-tier service from Tom and Dylan. I had my car ceramic coated, brake calipers coated, and a Lanoguard underbody treatment done — the finish is unreal. The coating has the paint looking deep and glossy. You can tell they take real pride in their work — everything was done properly with great attention to detail. I’m going to use them to get my wheels refurbished and have them recoated.”
Charlie Swift
Ford Fiesta ST Performance Edition
“Using TH Detailing for my 1990 Escort RS Turbo has been brilliant from the initial booking right through to me picking up my car. As the car is nearly 36 years old, I opted for the full Lanoguard under car protection, 2 stage paint correction, 5 year ceramic coating, engine bay clean and full interior clean and protect. Tom and Dylan seriously know their stuff, and worked meticulously to get my car looking perfect. The results speak for themselves, and I definitely wouldn’t hesitate in recommending TH Detailing to everyone. Thanks again Tom & Dylan!”
