Every vehicle deserves an approach tailored to its age, condition, finish and history
At Oliver Hamson Detailing, we provide specialist car detailing in West Sussex, combining years of experience in vehicle preparation with the careful techniques required for valuable and specilist cars.

We work with modern performance cars, prestige vehicles, collector cars and classics, tailoring the process using years of research and passion for cars , rather than applying a one-size-fits-all treatment.
Detailing Packages and Pricing
The level of work required is determined through a detailed assessment of each vehicle’s paintwork, including its age, originality, previous refinishing, paint thickness and existing condition. This allows us to establish a suitable approach to correction and enhancement, balancing the achievable finish with the importance of preserving the integrity of the paintwork.

Paint assessment and thickness readings where appropriate
Machine polishing with correction and refinement stages

From £1500
Our most comprehensive detailing service, designed for vehicles requiring an exceptional level of correction, refinement and cosmetic restoration, with the aim of achieving a finish as close to perfection as reasonably possible.
The process involves multiple stages of machine polishing, using carefully selected compounds, pads and techniques to progressively correct paintwork imperfections, remove defects and maximise clarity, depth and gloss.
Beyond paint correction, particular attention is given to the condition and presentation of the vehicle as a whole. Depending on individual requirements, this may include the restoration or refinishing of exterior trim, painted components, badges, fittings and other cosmetic details that detract from the overall finish.
Where appropriate, individual components may be removed, repaired or repainted to achieve a more consistent standard of presentation throughout the vehicle.
Every project is individually assessed, taking into consideration paint thickness, originality, previous repairs and the limitations of existing finishes. The extent of correction and restoration is carefully balanced against the importance of preserving original materials wherever possible.
The objective is to achieve the highest attainable standard of presentation, with every aspect of the vehicle receiving the attention necessary to bring it as close as possible to its best overall condition.
