Why a protection detail goes further
Contamination removed first
Tar, fallout and clay treatment help prepare the surface properly.
Gloss with added defence
Polish and sealant build shine while helping protect the finish after.
Clear size-based pricing
Starting prices are set across three vehicle size bands for clarity.
A deeper exterior treatment than a standard clean
When the paintwork feels rough, the finish looks flat and normal washing no longer cuts it, detailing gives the car a more thorough reset. The Protection Detail is designed to clean deeper, remove contamination and lift the finish before the protection stage begins. With Daytona Car Care, the preparation covers wheels, arches, tyres, engine bay, door shuts and boot shuts, followed by citrus and snowfoam pre-wash, a body wash and then three-stage decontamination using tar removal, fallout removal and clay bar treatment. That groundwork matters because polish and sealant sit better on a cleaner surface than one still carrying stubborn bonded contamination.
Better prep helps the gloss and protection last
Once the surface is properly prepared, the finishing work can do its job. Choosing Daytona Car Care means the detail is completed with plush-towel drying, hand polish with pre-wax cleanser, two coats of Gtechniq ceramic sealant, exhaust polishing, wheel sealing, tyre dressing and glass sealant. The result is a cleaner finish, stronger gloss and better bonding of the protective products than you get by skipping the decontamination stage. Protection Detail prices start from £100 for a small car, £120 for a medium or sports car and £140 for a large car, SUV or supercar at our Evesham-area premises.
Frequently asked questions
What is included in a protection detail?
It is a thorough exterior treatment covering wheel, arch and tyre cleaning, pre-wash, body wash, tar removal, fallout removal, clay bar decontamination, hand polishing and protective finishing steps. The aim is to clean deeper than a standard valet and leave the paintwork better prepared and better protected.
Why does decontamination matter before polishing?
Because bonded contamination can stop the finish looking as clean and smooth as it should, and it can affect how well later products bond. Removing tar, fallout and other surface contamination first helps create a cleaner base for polishing and for the sealant that follows.
How much does car detailing cost?
Protection Details start from £100 for a small car, £120 for a medium or sports car and £140 for a large car, SUV or supercar. The size-based pricing keeps things clear, while the more intensive nature of the treatment explains why it sits above a routine valet in both time and finish.
