Car Detailing in Horley
Our unit sits on Bonehurst Road, the A23 that runs straight down into Horley. It is the closest proper detailing studio to the town, and to Gatwick.
Your local detailing studio
If you live in Horley you are only a few minutes up the A23 from us. The unit is on Bonehurst Road in Salfords, so there is no motorway involved and no long trip to drop a car off before work.
Everything is done indoors on a full height scissor ramp, in a secure and fully insured unit. That is what separates a detail from a valet: the car is inspected from every angle under proper lighting before anyone touches it with a machine polisher.
Popular with Gatwick drivers
Horley sits right on Gatwick's doorstep, and airport parking, short trips and motorway miles are hard on paint. Stone chips off the M23, brake dust baked onto wheels and swirl marks from quick washes are the three things we see most.
XPEL Ultimate Plus paint protection film is the answer to the chips, and it comes with a 10 year installer guarantee. A Gtechniq ceramic coating handles the rest, keeping the car far easier to wash and holding its gloss for years rather than weeks.
What it costs
The Enhancement Detail is £500 plus VAT and transforms a tired car in a short turnaround. The Ceramic Coating Detail starts at £900 plus VAT, with the car here for four days so the coatings fully cure. PPF is quoted after an inspection, because it depends entirely on which panels you want covered.
A free courtesy car is available throughout, and because you are local, dropping off and collecting is straightforward.

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.
