Pre-sale preparation
Ready for photos. Ready for inspection.
What buyers notice
The areas that shape a first impression. Brand illustrations of the process — not a specific customer result.
Cabin
A tidy, clean interior reads well in photos.
Glass
Clean glass inside and out for clear listing shots.
Wheels
Wheel faces and tyres presented neatly.
Exterior finish
A suitable finish for a cared-for first impression.
The base scope
Pre-Sale Detail builds on the Signature Full Detail scope — interior and exterior care with a protective finish — plus a final presentation check. Headlights and engine bays are not automatic inclusions; they are added only if assessed and agreed.
- Exterior wash, decontamination and finishing protection
- Wheels, tyres, jambs and glass detailed
- Deep interior and boot vacuum
- Seats, carpets and upholstery shampoo where suitable
- Steam treatment and interior deodorising
- Dashboard, console, vents and trims detailed
- Leather cleaned and conditioned where applicable
- Interior plastics conditioned and glass cleaned
Optional assessed polishing
A single-stage gloss enhancement can be included only where the allocated provider and a paint assessment support it. If the paint is not suitable, polishing stays as separately assessed work — it is never assumed or added without agreement. This is cosmetic preparation, not paint repair.
