We remove swirls, restore gloss, and lock in protection that lasts years — not days. Trusted by London car enthusiasts who won't settle for anything less.
Don't take our word for it — here's what our clients think after seeing their cars leave the studio.
Trusted by
Autolackierei Lankwitz started as a small studio run by detailers who were genuinely frustrated by the low standards across London's valeting scene. We built a business around doing the opposite — taking time, using professional products, and being honest about what each car needs. Today we detail everything from M3s and Porsches to family SUVs, and we still inspect every panel under LED lighting before it leaves our hands.
You book online or call us. We assess your car's condition, note paintwork issues, and recommend the right service — no upselling you things you don't need.
Every detail starts with a thorough two-bucket wash, iron fallout removal, tar spot treatment, and clay bar decontamination before any polish touches the paint.
We machine-polish under specialist lighting to remove defects, then apply your chosen protection layer — wax, sealant, or ceramic coating — with full cure time.
We walk through the finished car with you under bright lights, point out every improvement, and send you off with aftercare guidance so the results last.
We don't cut corners — our layered approach to paint protection and interior care means the results you see on collection day stay that way.
Applying a ceramic coating over swirls just locks the damage in permanently. That's why every coating package at Autolackierei Lankwitz includes at minimum a single-stage polish to refine the surface before protection goes on. Your coating then bonds to flawless paint — and stays that way.
Polish · Coat · Cure · Inspect
We extract dirt from seat foam, not just the fabric surface. We condition leather to stop cracking, not just make it look shiny today. We clean door shuts, sill plates, and cup holders that most valet services never touch. Your interior should feel as good as it looks.
Steam · Extract · Condition · Restore
A properly applied ceramic coating means weekly washes take minutes — water and grime sheet off rather than bonding to the paint. Our coating packages include a 6-month check-in detail to top up protection and keep the hydrophobic properties at full strength.
Hydrophobic · UV-Proof · Self-Cleaning · Durable
From a single-stage polish to a full 3-year ceramic coating package — we cover every inch.
We machine-polish your paintwork to eliminate swirl marks, light scratches, and oxidation — restoring depth and gloss that hasn't been seen since the showroom.
Our pro-grade ceramic coatings bond to your clear coat and repel water, dirt, and UV rays for up to 5 years. Zero waxing, near-zero upkeep.
Self-healing PPF shields high-impact zones — bumpers, bonnet, mirrors — from stone chips and road debris while staying virtually invisible.
Steam extraction, leather conditioning, plastic restoration, and odour elimination. Every surface — from headliner to carpet fibres — is treated properly.
A clean engine bay isn't just cosmetic — it makes leaks easier to spot and makes a strong impression at shows or during inspections.
Factory paint is rarely perfect. We decontaminate, correct, and protect your new car before a single London road contaminates it.
Everything you need to know before booking your detail.
It depends on the service. A premium interior deep clean typically takes 4–6 hours. A paint correction with ceramic coating is usually a two-day job — day one for correction, day two for coating application and cure time. We'll give you a clear time estimate when you book.
Yes — and any detailer who says otherwise is cutting corners. Ceramic coatings are semi-permanent, so they lock in whatever defects are on your paint. We always correct swirls and scratches before any coating goes on to ensure you're protecting flawless paint.
Our entry-level coating offers 12–18 months of protection. Our premium packages use Gyeon Quartz and IGL Kenzo formulations that last 3–5 years with a basic maintenance wash routine. We also offer 6-month top-up inspections to maintain full hydrophobic performance.
Machine polishing removes swirl marks and light surface scratches that haven't broken through the clear coat. Deep scratches that have reached the base coat or primer need a respray — we'll assess your paint and be upfront with you about what correction can and can't fix.
We operate primarily from our covered studio for any work involving paint correction, coatings, or PPF — these require controlled lighting and conditions. We do offer mobile interior detailing and maintenance washes for select postcodes. Contact us to check your area.
