Car Detailing in Guildford
Guildford customers reach us across the county on the A25, or round the M25. Collection and delivery is available if you would rather not make the drive.
Across the county, and worth it
Guildford is the far side of Surrey from us, so we will be straight with you: it is a drive. Customers still make it, and the reason is the setup. A full height scissor ramp, controlled lighting, a secure and fully insured unit, and the time to do a multi stage correction properly rather than a single pass in a car park.
If the journey is awkward, covered or uncovered collection and delivery can be arranged, and a free courtesy car is available while the car is with us.
Protection first for newer cars
A lot of what comes to us from the Guildford, Godalming and Surrey Hills area is newer and higher value, where the priority is protecting the paint before anything happens to it rather than repairing it afterwards.
XPEL Ultimate Plus paint protection film is the market leading film and carries a 10 year installer guarantee. It is fitted here by in house XPEL certified installers using adjusted patterns, with wrapped edges where possible and no cutting on the car. Paired with a Gtechniq ceramic coating on the remaining bodywork, a new car stays looking new.
Booking
Enhancement Detail is £500 plus VAT. The Ceramic Coating Detail starts at £900 plus VAT and needs the car for four days. PPF requires an inspection first so we can go round the car together and agree what is worth covering.
Given the distance, it is worth a phone call before booking so we can plan the drop off and collection around you.

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.
