Car Detailing in Dorking
A straight run east along the A25 brings Dorking customers to our unit in Salfords. Paint correction, ceramic coating and XPEL film, all carried out indoors.
Worth the short drive
Dorking sits a short run west of us along the A25 through Reigate and Betchworth. Customers make the trip because the work happens in a unit rather than on a driveway, and because a machine polish done properly needs controlled light and a ramp, not a hose and a bucket.
The premises are secure and fully insured, and a free courtesy car means you can drop the car off and carry on with your day.
Cars that live in the Surrey Hills
Box Hill, Ranmore and the lanes around Westcott and Brockham are wonderful roads and hard on paintwork. Flint and grit thrown up on narrow lanes chips front ends, and hedgerow scratches down flanks are a familiar sight on cars from this area.
XPEL paint protection film on the front end deals with the chips before they happen. A multi stage machine polish followed by Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light removes the light scratching and makes the surface far more resistant to the next round of it.
Which package suits
If the car is generally sound and you want it looking new again quickly, the Enhancement Detail at £500 plus VAT is the one. If you are keeping it, the Ceramic Coating Detail from £900 plus VAT is the better long term value, and includes the wheels being removed and coated inside and out.

Detailing Questions, Answered
What is the difference between car detailing and a car wash?
A car wash cleans the surface. Detailing corrects and protects it. SMC Detailing decontaminates the paint, machine polishes out swirls and scratches, then seals the finish with a ceramic coating or paint protection film. The work is carried out in a lit, secure unit in Salfords, Surrey, not on a forecourt.
How much does ceramic coating cost in Surrey?
The ceramic coating detail at SMC Detailing starts from £900 plus VAT, using Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light. The final price depends on the size of the vehicle and how much paint correction it needs first. The car is with us for four days so the coatings can fully cure.
Is paint protection film worth it?
Paint protection film is the only product that physically stops stone chips. SMC Detailing fits XPEL Ultimate Plus and XPEL Stealth as in house certified installers, with a 10 year installer guarantee. A ceramic coating adds gloss and chemical resistance but will not prevent impact damage, so many customers combine the two.
What is included in an enhancement detail?
The enhancement detail is £500 plus VAT and includes a full decontamination with the wheels removed, an engine bay clean, machine polishing to remove swirls and light scratches, Gtechniq C2v4 sealant on all bodywork, Gyeon Q2M View on the glass, and an interior vacuum and wipe down.
