NEW SERVICE — WINDOW TINTING 🕶️

We’re excited to introduce window tinting as the latest addition to Alien Detailing.

Back in July, we headed away for professional training to develop our skills in window film installation. Since then, we’ve been refining our technique, putting in the work and building confidence in our new skills to ensure we’re ready to offer this service to the public.

For us, window tinting is the missing piece of the puzzle. Combined with our existing detailing, ceramic coating and XPEL Paint Protection Film services, we can now offer an even more complete approach to protecting and enhancing your vehicle.

From improved heat rejection and UV protection to added comfort and a clean, finished look, window tint is about more than just appearance.

Bookings are now open. Get in touch to discuss options for your vehicle.

2025 Mustang GT — Track Pack Protection 🏁

This 2025 Mustang GT came to us as an ex-demo vehicle, so thorough surface preparation was essential before protection.

We carried out a full decontamination and paint preparation before installing XPEL Paint Protection Film, including our Track Pack coverage to protect the areas most exposed to stone chips and road wear.

To finish, the painted surfaces received an enhancement polish to restore gloss and clarity, followed by a ceramic coating for added protection and easier maintenance.

Protected, refined and ready to be driven.

Haines Hunter 545 — Ready for Summer ☀️🌊

This Haines Hunter 545 had started to show heavy oxidation, leaving the finish looking dull and lacking depth.

We worked through the oxidation to restore the depth, clarity and gloss, bringing the finish back to life and getting it ready for plenty of time on the water this summer.

Because summer is coming — time to get the boat looking the part. 🚤

1967 Mustang Fastback – Enhancement Detail

With older and previously repainted vehicles, knowing the paint you’re working with is critical. Thin edges, previous repairs and touch-ups all require a different approach to ensure defects are reduced without compromising the finish.

We carried out an enhancement machine polish to reduce light-to-moderate swirls and scratches whilst being cautious not to chase and compromise the finish.

We also removed the wheels and hand polished to complete the presentation.

Finished and ready for the car show this weekend. ✨

Subaru WRX – Paint Enhancement & Ceramic Coating

This WRX came in with moderate swirls and light scratches taking away from the finish.

We carried out an enhancement machine polish to significantly improve the paintwork, restoring clarity and gloss before finishing with a ceramic coating.

The result is a deeper, glossier finish with added protection and much easier maintenance washing.

Summer is coming ☀️

It’s that time of year again, time to pull the boat out, give it some attention and get it ready for the season ahead.

If your boat has spent winter sitting around and needs a refresh before summer, now is the time to get it booked in.

Mustang Dark Horse – Track Pack Protection

We’ve had a fair few of these Mustang Dark Horses through the studio, and each one is a great example of how much can be done to protect a new vehicle from day one.

This one received our Track Pack, including a full roof wrap in PPF to protect the gloss black finish, along with a full vehicle ceramic coating and wheels-off ceramic coating for added protection and easier maintenance.

A combination designed to keep the Dark Horse looking sharp, while protecting the areas that take the most abuse.
