Many used cars are mechanically checked but receive only a superficial clean. Stains, odours, dull paint and neglected details often remain. Professional detailing noticeably improves the vehicle’s cleanliness and appearance.

Why detailing matters after buying a used car

  • thorough interior cleaning
  • removal or reduction of stains and odours
  • improved paint appearance
  • careful cleaning of details
  • a better overall impression

What work is carried out on used cars?

For odours, the source is investigated first. Residue from smoking, animals or moisture needs an appropriate treatment; fragrances alone do not solve the problem. Clean paint reveals whether polishing is worthwhile. Surface swirls require a different assessment from deep damage.

Who is it suitable for?

  • buyers of used cars
  • vehicles with odours from smoking, animals or moisture
  • vehicles with visible signs of use
