Customer information
A few simple preparations help me work safely and give your vehicle the right level of care.
Most appointments only require suitable space around the vehicle, access to outdoor water and electricity, and personal belongings removed from the areas being detailed.
The guidance below explains anything else that may be relevant, including weather and vehicle-specific considerations. Not every point will apply to every service, so if there's anything unusual about the vehicle or where I'll be working, just let me know when you enquire.
Appointment essentials
Please leave enough space around the vehicle for me to work safely and reach the areas included in your service.
Firm, reasonably level ground is preferred wherever possible. If access, parking or the working area could be difficult, let me know when you enquire so I can assess what's suitable.
Mobile appointments normally require access to an outdoor water supply and safe electricity within practical reach of the vehicle.
If either supply isn't available, or access is unusual, mention it when you enquire. I'll check the circumstances and confirm what's possible.
Please remove valuables and personal belongings from the areas being detailed. This gives me clear access and helps prevent anything from being misplaced during the work.
Child seats should also be removed beforehand, as I don't remove, clean or reinstall them.
If something cannot reasonably be removed, let me know and I'll work around it where practical.
C4 Auto Detail is a mobile service, so weather and the conditions around the vehicle can affect how the work is carried out.
Rain doesn't automatically mean an appointment cannot go ahead. I'll assess the actual conditions and, where practical, continue as planned.
If the weather or working environment would affect safety, the quality of the finish or a product's required curing conditions, I'll contact you to adjust or rearrange the appointment.
Vehicle-specific guidance
Open the sections that are relevant to your vehicle or appointment.
Interior cleaning is adapted to each material and its existing condition.
Headlining is particularly delicate, so I use the safest suitable method rather than intensive wet cleaning or extraction. I'll improve marks where this can be done safely, although some staining may remain.
Stains, odours, wear, discolouration and previous damage can respond differently to cleaning. I'll explain what can realistically be improved without risking unnecessary damage.
Convertible soft tops are cleaned and treated fully closed as standard.
If reaching a particular area would require the roof to be partially opened or operated, this must be discussed and authorised beforehand.
Please mention any known issues with the roof or its operation when you enquire.
Ceramic Coating requires suitable weather, surface temperature and initial curing conditions.
The vehicle must first be cleaned, decontaminated, assessed and suitably machine prepared. This is a preparation-led service, not simply a coating applied after washing.
If the conditions are not suitable for safe preparation, application or initial curing, I'll discuss whether the appointment needs to be adjusted or rearranged.
Explore Ceramic Coating →Detailing can make a significant difference to a vehicle's cleanliness, presentation and the condition of suitable surfaces.
It cannot repair permanent physical damage, failed materials, deep defects, mechanical faults or electrical problems.
If I find something that changes what is appropriate for the vehicle, I'll explain it before carrying out any additional work.
If you're unsure about access, the vehicle's condition, a particular material or anything else that could affect the appointment, mention it when you enquire.
Photos are especially helpful when there's a particular area you'd like me to assess.
