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.

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.

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.

Our process
We start with a proper twelve step exterior wash, using pre wash, snow foam, a safe contact wash and fine brush work to get into grills, badges and tight areas a sponge would never reach. Everything is done using a three bucket method and ph specific chemicals for your exact car, so we minimise contact with the paintwork and avoid dragging dirt across the surface. This is where we stop new swirl marks and scratches being added. If this stage is rushed or done like a cheap hand wash, that damage gets locked in under the ceramic coating and you are essentially sealing fresh marks into the finish.
Iron fallout sounds technical but it is simply tiny metal particles from brake dust. They come off your own brakes and every car you drive behind, landing on your paintwork, wheels and glass and slowly bonding to the surface over time. You rarely see them, but you can feel them as roughness if you run your hand over the paint after washing. Our iron fallout bath dissolves and removes these particles so we are not polishing metal into the paint during later stages. If this is skipped, the coating cannot bond as cleanly, the finish will not feel as smooth, and you can trap contamination under the coating where it continues to cause problems.
Tar and glue contamination comes from real world driving. Every time you drive through potholes, past fresh tarmac, winter road grit or road repairs, tiny tar spots flick up and stick to the lower parts of the car. Glue type contamination also comes from tree sap, pollen and sticky residues from the summer months. We use dedicated tar and glue removers to safely break these down so the surface is completely clean and flat before we move on. People often ask if we can skip this stage, but if we do you end up with little bumps in the paint that stop the coating sitting evenly, which leads to patchy gloss, reduced durability and dirt clinging more easily.
A clay bar is a specialised block that gently pulls out the last bits of bonded contamination that chemicals alone cannot remove. It cleans deep into the pores of the paint so the surface is as clean and smooth as possible before we polish. By its nature a clay bar will dull the paintwork slightly because it is removing that top layer of contamination, which is why we only recommend clay when a polishing stage is being completed afterwards. Skipping clay means we are polishing over embedded contamination and asking a ceramic coating to bond to a less than perfect surface. Using clay without polishing afterwards leaves the paint looking flat and lifeless, which is why we always pair the two.
Once the exterior is fully decontaminated, we take the vehicle into our custom built lighting tunnel so we can see every swirl mark, scratch and defect in the paintwork. Under this lighting we carry out a stage 1 paint correction polish that can remove up to around seventy five percent of light swirls and wash marks, dramatically improving gloss and clarity. This is what gives our jobs that mirror like finish and separates real paint correction from the quick dealer buff. A ceramic coating will lock in whatever the paint looks like at this point, good or bad. If this stage is skipped, you are simply sealing in all the existing marks and haze, and no coating in the world can fix that.
After the paintwork is properly prepared, we apply your chosen ceramic coating to all painted surfaces and to the wheel faces. We also coat all glass, using a slightly different coating on the windscreen because wipers affect that area differently and we have learned over the years what works best where. Coating the glass improves visibility in the rain as water beads and runs off more easily, and coating the wheels helps them stay cleaner for longer and makes brake dust easier to wash away. If this step is rushed or a cheap product is used, you might see some short term beading but you will not get the genuine long term protection, ease of cleaning and consistent gloss that a properly applied ceramic coating is meant to provide.
Once the coating is applied, we keep the car indoors overnight so the coating can cure in a clean, dry and stable environment. Temperature, moisture and dust all affect how a ceramic coating bonds to the surface, especially in the colder winter months. If a coating is left to cure outside and it rains, frosts or gets heavy dew on it, you risk streaks, high spots and poor bonding which can cause failure in months instead of years. By keeping the vehicle with us and controlling the conditions, we give the coating the best chance to bond fully so you get the durability, protection and finish you are paying for the first time round.
