FAQ - car detailing Eastbourne
Where are you based?
DrivenByDetail is studio-based in North Harbour, Eastbourne (East Sussex). All work is carried out indoors in a controlled environment for consistent results.
Do you offer mobile detailing?
No. I’m studio-only. It’s better for lighting, temperature control, and safe washing—especially for paint correction, ceramic coatings, and PPF.
Is it appointment only?
Yes—appointment only and no walk-ins. If you want to view the studio or discuss options, book a time and I’ll make sure I’m free.
What services do you offer?
Premium detailing and paint protection, including maintenance washes, interior/exterior details, paint correction, ceramic coatings, styling modification, Vinyl wrapping, and PPF installation, plus options like de-chroming, light/window tinting

Do you take a deposit?

Do you install PPF (paint protection film) in Eastbourne?
Yes—PPF installation is available for front-end protection through to full coverage, depending on the vehicle and how much protection you want.
Can you remove swirl marks and scratches?
Swirl marks and light scratches require machine polishing (paint correction). Washing and detailing improve cleanliness and gloss, but correction is the service that actually refines the paint.
What areas do you cover besides Eastbourne?
Do you confirm the booking and price after I choose a date?
Do I need to speak to you before booking?
How far in advance do I need to book?
In peak season (roughly March–October) lead times are typically 2–3 weeks. In quieter months it can be much sooner. If you’ve got a deadline, tell me and I’ll advise what’s realistic.
Can I wait while the car is being done?
There’s no customer waiting area. For quick drop-off/collection there’s space to wait briefly if you arrive early, but most jobs are best handled as drop-off and return later.
What do you need from me before drop-off?
Please remove personal items (especially from footwells, seats, boot, and door pockets). If you’ve booked an interior service, the clearer the car is, the better the result and the more time I can spend on the actual cleaning.
Will detailing remove scratches and swirl marks?
Washing and detailing improve appearance and protection, but removing swirls/scratches requires machine polishing (paint correction). If you’re unsure, I can inspect the paint and recommend the right level of correction.
Do you offer any warranty on coatings or PPF?
Yes—ceramic coatings and PPF come with manufacturer/installer warranty terms and maintenance requirements. I’ll explain what’s covered and how to look after it so you get the lifespan you’re paying for.
