Shine On Auto Detailing is a fully insured, completely mobile, passionately committed company offering premium detailing services. It is run and owned by myself, Paul Townsend. I am independent, not directly associated with any other detailing company or franchise. Measured purely by the results achieved and the satisfaction of my customers, I strive to maintain my position as one of the best car detailers in the industry.

As a recognised expert, I was recently asked to assist with a consumer item for Channel Five’s Fifth Gear programme, looking at car washes for those that don’t wish to do it themselves. You can see the video if you click here.

I have chosen to primarily offer Swissvax treatments and products to provide the best finish possible on your car. After passing the rigorous selection process, I am proud be a Swissvax Authorised Detailer, using the very finest products available.

Based in the South of England, I regular work throughout the UK. Such is my reputation, I have also carried out work in France, Holland, Switzerland and Monaco. Anywhere is viable and if you happen to have a special car or collection of cars you would like detailed anywhere in Europe, please get in touch.

As a result of the current financial climate, the ‘credit crunch’ is seeing people hold onto their existing car for longer, where they might have otherwise traded it for a new model. Thanks to the services I offer, this is no longer the ‘second best’ option and you can again have a car looking better than new.

Offering a wide range of detailing services tailored to suit your needs, including ongoing maintenance packages, I pride myself in offering unsurpassed levels of quality. Exceeding your expectations to leave a long lasting lustrous finish that will be easy to maintain is my motivation. I can also supply products to assist you with this, and as much advice and support as you need.

Please take a moment to look through the website at some examples of my work, references are gladly supplied. It is worth noting that all photographs on this site are of cars I have carried out work on, there are no library shots used whatsoever.

These cars are owned by a client whom I would consider a true connosieur. Owned for the love of what they offer – their dynamics, their character, their jaw dropping looks and stunning performance. This is the first time all three cars have been put together, and my client was kind enough to allow me to photograph them.

Correction for an M3, Protection for an ML

I was contacted by the owner of these two lovely machines to deal with some dealer inflicted damage on his new Jerez Black BMW M3. Very highly specified, and in beautiful condition in every other respect, Andy felt the paint was letting it down. Where it should have been rich and glossy, the finish was flat and lifeless, and upon closer inspection the many little scratches causing it were clearly visible.
