Car Detailing in Horsham
Horsham customers reach us via the A264 and A23, just past Gatwick. Paint correction, ceramic coating and XPEL paint protection film, all carried out indoors.
A short run past Gatwick
From Horsham it is a straightforward run east on the A264 towards Crawley, then north on the A23 to Salfords. Plenty of customers make the trip because there is no substitute for having the car indoors, on a ramp, under lighting that actually shows what the paint is doing.
The unit is secure and fully insured, we are VAT registered, and a free courtesy car is available while your car is with us.
What we see on cars from this area
A264 and A24 miles mean stone chips, and a lot of cars around Broadbridge Heath, Southwater and Warnham spend their lives outdoors under trees. Sap, bird lime and bonded fallout all etch into paint if they are left.
That is exactly what the decontamination stage deals with: fallout remover, tar remover, then clay barring the whole car before it is machine polished. Once the paint is clean and corrected, a Gtechniq ceramic coating makes the next round of it far easier to wash off.

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.
