Advice from the unit

What we explain on the phone every week, written down. No supplier marketing and no fifteen-step routines nobody follows.

Latest

Why a coating is only as good as the prep
The coating is the last hour of a three-day job. Where the time actually goes, and when we will talk you out of it.

Where swirl marks actually come from
Not bad luck. A specific, avoidable cause — and once they are in the lacquer only machine polishing takes them out.

PPF or a coating: which does what
They solve different problems and are often sold as if they solve the same one. What each actually stops.

How to wash a coated car without ruining it
The single biggest cause of a disappointing coating is the wash routine that follows it.

Why we write these

Almost every enquiry we get contains one of four misunderstandings — that a coating fixes scratches, that PPF and coatings do the same job, that a machine polish is a quick job, or that any wash is fine once a car is protected.

None of those are the customer's fault. They are what the marketing says. These pieces are the version we would give you on the phone if you had twenty minutes, written down so you can read it before you spend anything.

What you will not find here

Product recommendations with affiliate links, and step-by-step routines aimed at people who want to do this themselves. There is nothing wrong with either, but neither is what we are for.

Stockport and the towns around it

We collect and return across all of these from the Green Lane unit.
