Summer Prep Package
A full surface reset + protection boost for people who want the car looking sharper, staying cleaner for longer, and for any existing protection to actually perform the way it should. It’s especially effective coming out of winter, or if you’ve got a previous ceramic coating that feels like it has gone flat.
Safe no-scratch exterior safe wash
Wheels Deep cleaned (faces and barrels)
Tar removal treatment
Iron fallout decontamination bath
Ceramic sealant applied to paintwork, exterior glass and wheel faces
Final rinse and safe dry

summer prep by vulpix
What this package does
We use pH-safe chemicals to protect the longevity of your paintwork and any existing protection, then wash using a 3 bucket method to minimise swirls. Wheels are cleaned properly too, including deep into the barrels not just the faces, for a true deep-clean finish.
Targets and safely removes tar spots and sticky road residue that normal shampoo will not shift, leaving the surface cleaner and smoother.
Dissolves embedded iron and brake dust that builds up over time, especially on lower panels and wheels, helping restore smoothness and clarity.
If the car is already ceramic coated, this helps unclog the coating so water behaviour and slickness return closer to how it felt when it was freshly applied.
Adds a fresh sacrificial layer that boosts gloss, improves water beading and makes the car easier to maintain, helping it stay cleaner for longer between washes.

why choose us

Manchester's highest-reviewed independent detailer
We’re not a franchise. We’re not a chain. Every review was earned job by job. Our reputation is the most honest thing we can show you.
Honest advice, every time
We’ll only recommend what your car actually needs. If a more straightforward option does the job just as well, we’ll tell you. That’s how we’ve kept customers coming back.
Proven ceramic coating specialists in Manchester
From one-year coatings to nine-year ceramic protection, we apply coatings properly with full prep, polish and decontamination for long-lasting results.
Proper prep - not just a coating sprayed over dirty paint
Every ceramic coating package includes a full safe wash, iron fallout treatment, clay bar decontamination, and machine polishing before we apply anything. The prep is what makes the coating last.

We are detailers, not a dealership
Detailing is our craft, not an upsell on top of something else. We don’t sell cars. We don’t do tyres. We do one thing and we do it to a standard we’re proud to put our name on.
Unit and mobile - same standard, wherever suits you
Our unit is the perfect environment for ceramic coating work, especially during the colder months. We also offer mobile bookings across the North West.

EXCELLENT Based on 241 reviews Posted on Anaya Jesani2026-06-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Elliot was amazing! The communication was great, I knew when he was arriving. We left them to it and the cars looked brand new. They were quicker than expected! Be careful, they do eat all your biscuits lol. For real they were amazing! Will defo book in again.Posted on Chris Cheetham2026-05-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had my car done today by James and his team, car has come back cleaner than when I first bought it, excellent costomer service and would highly recommend. We will definitely be using them again. Thank youPosted on Hev M2026-05-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great at what they do, friendly service throughout, quick to respond to queries and offer advice on the most appropriate services (bearing in mind budget, for example). Took in a Mini we recently bought for a deep clean and machine polish as the paintwork was in a bad state and the results were better than I thought possible - looked as good as new to me! Happy customers, the guys at Vulpix will be our first choice and recommendation for detailing going forwards.Posted on Shazad Saleem2026-05-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. James was great to deal with and genuinely nice person. His work was excellent and he did an amazing job to bring back to life the car we just bought whose interior was looking a bit worn. I went for the Signature package and it really does look like the car has just come out of the showroom. Great service and attention to detail. Many thanks James.Posted on Richard Whitehead2026-04-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Easy to set up the appointment and deal with. Didn’t oversell or get me to pay any more than was necessary. Lovely guys to deal with and a really good job done. I’ll be using them regularly from now on. Highly recommended.Posted on Paul Hughes2026-04-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience from the first phone call. No pressure, just a lit of knowledge. 5 year ceramic coating applied and the actual finish of the work was even better than the customer service. Wouldn't go anywhere else!!Posted on Steven Craven2026-04-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently used Vulpix Car Detailing in Manchester, mainly dealing with James, as I wanted my Fiesta professionally cleaned before putting it up for sale. What really stood out was the approach; rather than trying to upsell the most expensive package, I was given advice that suited my situation and made sense for selling the car. James was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what he does. The end result exceeded my expectations - the car looks fantastic, and I’m genuinely impressed with the quality of the finish. I’ll definitely be returning with my other cars in the future. Highly recommended!Posted on Connor Macpherson2026-04-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Honestly can’t recommend this course enough. It was proper hands-on and straight to the point, no fluff, just exactly what you need to actually go out and start. Since doing the course, everything’s taken off for me. Within 3 months I’m already making over £1,000 a week working for myself, which still feels a bit mad to say. The way everything was explained just made it easy to understand and apply straight away. I genuinely don’t think I’d be where I am now without doing it. If you’re thinking about getting into it or starting your own thing, this course is 100% worth it. Easy five stars.Posted on Gabriel2026-04-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Did an amazing job with my Mx5 got a state 1 and never seen it how it came out, thankyou James and EliotPosted on Bobby Horsman2026-04-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Super happy with the clean & protection coat on my S2000. James is very professional, punctual & has great comms.
Featured Reviews
James and his team are absolute superstars. So professional from start to finish. They completed a deep clean on my girlfriend’s mini and say they did an outstanding job is an understatement. My girlfriend said it’s like having a new car again. I’ve already booked in to get my own car cleaned, polished and waxed. Thanks again.
Fantastic job of valeting my vehicle, James and the team are exceptionally good at communicating with a no nonsense approach and professional attitude. They are now my regular car detailers ,,,,,well done !!!!!!!
If you are thinking of having your car detailed then do it and use vulpix. My partner bought it for my birthday and I am blown away by the results…. It looks like new. So good my partner had his done today and James you are fab, spent hours making sure he was happy with the results & my partner is so impressed with how it looks. What a brilliant service, the attention to detail is second to none. Thanks again James, two happy customers & I will be booking in a valet soon.

Frequently Asked Questions!
Monthly Maintenance Package – FAQs
Yes. All vehicles must first receive a Full Valet or Deep Clean so we can reset the car to our standard before maintaining it.
If you’ve owned the car from new and it’s less than 6 weeks old, you can skip the reset and go straight onto the plan. This doesn’t apply to second-hand vehicles.
It’s perfect for anyone who wants that “freshly detailed” feel without the effort or cost of a full reset each time.
A full safe wash, interior refresh, light steam where needed, paint protection top-up, and full inspection every visit to keep it looking immaculate.
Yes. We follow strict safe-wash methods with premium tools and techniques to prevent swirls or damage to your paintwork.
We offer both mobile and unit-based appointments, depending on what’s most convenient for you.
Most clients come in every 4-6 weeks. We also offer bi-weekly plans if your car gets dirty quicker or you want an even higher standard.
You’re not locked in. Just let us know and we’ll stop the plan — no hassle, no pressure.
Absolutely. Our maintenance clients get up to 40% off our usual valet prices by keeping on top of the condition each month.
Full Valet – FAQs
On average, a Full Valet takes around 2 to 3 hours, depending on the size and condition of the vehicle. If the car hasn’t been cleaned in a while or has dog hair or heavy soiling, it may take a little longer.
The Full Valet is perfect for well-maintained cars or vehicles that haven’t been cleaned in 4–6 weeks.
If your car has:
Stains or spills
Heavy grime or smells
…then we’d recommend a Deep Clean, which includes wet-vacuum extraction, interior shampooing, and more intensive treatments.
You can absolutely book this as a one-off. However, many of our regular clients use the Full Valet as a maintenance clean every 4–6 weeks to keep their car in great shape.
Yes — our Full Valet is available mobile or at our unit. We cover Greater Manchester and surrounding areas.
We’re fully equipped with our own water and generator, but if you have access to a tap and socket, we’re happy to use that — it helps keep noise down for neighbours.
No – Due to insurance reasons we cannot remove child seats from the car, however please feel free to remove before the service and we will clean this area as standard.
Yes — we’re based in Ashton-under-Lyne and have a secure unit you can drop off to. You’re welcome to leave the vehicle and we’ll let you know when it’s ready for collection. (Starbucks, Asda and Ikea near by)
Deep Clean – FAQs
A deep clean typically takes between 3 to 5 hours, depending on the size and condition of the vehicle. Heavily soiled cars, or those with pet hair or staining, may take slightly longer.
Yes. We offer mobile deep cleans across Greater Manchester and surrounding areas. All we need is safe, legal parking close to the vehicle.
We are fully self-sufficient, with our own water tanks and generators, so no external power or water is needed.
However, if you do have access to power and water, it’s always appreciated — mainly to avoid generator noise (especially in quieter residential areas) and out of courtesy to neighbours.
Yes — if your seats or carpets need shampooing or extraction, we include this as part of the service. You don’t need to add it as an extra.
Light odours (such as food or damp smells) are usually resolved during a deep clean.
However, persistent odours (smoke, pet, mildew etc.) may require a dedicated odour removal treatment with ozone or fogger machines — we’ll let you know if this is needed.
Yes — we recommend removing any valuables or personal items beforehand. We’ll place anything we do find into a sealed bag and leave it in the boot for you.
You can request a quote and check availability directly via our booking form or WhatsApp. We typically have a 1–2 week wait, especially during busy periods.
