Most commonly, a Level 1 Detail is used to detail satin paint (which cannot be machine polished) or as an ongoing maintenance detail. It doesn’t involve paint correction, and instead, is a thorough deep clean involving both chemical and mechanical decontamination.

What is detailing
The term "Detailing" can be misinterpreted and confused with a much more basic service; valeting. Valeting can be described as "the cleaning of the exterior / interior to remove visible dust, dirt and grime, leaving the surfaces clean and shiny” Although a very simple and straight forward task, paint damage and surface imperfections are often caused by incorrect washing techniques. At Topaz Detailing we not only repair this damage but exceed this, creating a "better than new” finish. "The art of making a car beautiful is time”. This time refers not only to the time spent on your car but the time taken to gather expertise and knowledge, allowing us to provide a service that fits the beauty, elegance and sophistication of the cars we work with, restoring, enhancing and protecting your vehicle.

What about new cars
Unfortunately we also receive new cars with defects caused by the dealer. During the PDI "Pre Delivery inspection”, the rushed removal of the factory applied wax and protective wrapping causes paint imperfections such as swirl marks and micro scratches. Topaz detailing provides a service that will not only restore you vehicles appearance but will exceed your aesthetic expectations.
