Restoring an older car
An older car may combine embedded contamination, faded trim, scratches, stains and ordinary material wear. A complete treatment begins by separating what can be cleaned or corrected from what needs repair.
Exterior scope
Hand washing and decontamination reveal the paint condition. A test section then shows whether polishing can improve gloss safely, while chips, clearcoat failure and deep damage are documented rather than hidden.
A suitable wax, sealant or coating can protect the prepared result, with durability matched to use and maintenance.
Interior scope
Vacuuming is followed by material-specific cleaning of seats, carpets, trim, glass and the boot. Stains, odour and fragile surfaces receive separate assessment.
The result can be a substantially cleaner, more coherent vehicle, but age and use do not disappear. AVP agrees the priorities before work so effort goes where it makes the greatest visible difference.
