Hand wash, decontamination and a durable protective finish that leaves paintwork deep, glossy and easier to keep clean between visits.
Showroom-Quality Car Detailing, Brought Straight to Your Door
From a full exterior refresh to complete paint correction and ceramic protection, we treat every vehicle like it's about to be judged on a showroom floor.
Fully mobile service across Birmingham — no drop-off, no waiting rooms, just a car that looks and feels brand new.
Our Services
Detailing Built Around the Result You Want
Every package is designed around a clear outcome — cleaner, better protected, longer-lasting. Pick a single service or combine several into a full detail.
Interior Deep Clean
Steam cleaning, upholstery treatment and odour removal that leaves the cabin feeling fresh, hygienic and genuinely like new.
Paint Correction & Polishing
Machine correction that removes swirl marks and light scratches, restoring clarity and depth before any protective coating goes on.
Ceramic Coating Protection
A long-lasting layer of protection against grime, UV fading and light abrasion, so the finish stays sharper for far longer.
Alloy Wheel & Engine Bay Detailing
Wheels stripped of brake dust and grime, engine bays degreased and dressed — the details that get missed at a standard wash.
Who We Work With
Detailing for Every Type of Vehicle Owner
Whichever category your vehicle falls into, the approach is the same: careful assessment, the right products for the job, and a finish that holds up.
How We Work
A Simple, Transparent Process From Start to Finish
No surprises, no upselling on the day — you know exactly what's included and what to expect before we arrive.
Book & Consult
Tell us about your vehicle and what you'd like done — we confirm the right package and a fixed price up front.
Vehicle Assessment
On arrival we check the paintwork, interior and problem areas so nothing gets missed once work begins.
Detailing in Action
We work methodically through each stage — wash, correction, protection or interior treatment — using the right products for your vehicle.
Quality Check & Handover
A final walk-around together, so you can see the result and raise anything before we consider the job done.

About Us
Detailing Done Properly, Not Just Quickly
Detailing By Dave was built around a simple idea: most vehicles never get the level of care a proper detail provides, because a standard wash only ever deals with the surface.
We bring a methodical, product-led approach to every vehicle — assessing paintwork and interior condition first, then working through the stages needed to get a genuinely better result, not just a quicker one.
Our Mission
Give every client a vehicle that looks cared for, protected and ready — whether it's a daily driver, a dealership car, or a fleet vehicle.
