About TMR
The knowledge behind the craft.
At 18, I started working at a hardware store that stocked Autoglym and a full range of professional detailing products. During quiet spells I'd read every label, learn every product, understand what each one did and why. Most people would have stacked shelves. I studied.
After two years, I had a working knowledge of the detailing product landscape that most professionals don't develop in a decade.
From there I moved into automotive paint manufacturing — spending six years at Bӧllig & Kemper, one of Europe's leading OEM car paint producers. I didn't learn about paint from the outside. I made it from scratch. I tested it in a lab, sprayed it across panels, and studied how different clear coats, satin finishes, and matt lacquers behave under real conditions.
That background sits underneath everything I do at TMR. When I'm working on your car, I'm not following a process I learned online. I understand paint — chemically, practically, and obsessively.
TMR Detailing exists for people who care about their cars the way I do. One standard. No shortcuts. Done properly.

The TMR Method
The detail is in the detail.
Every stage exists for a reason. There are no shortcuts and no skipped steps. This is a full reset of your vehicle's finish — from contaminated and dull, to chemically clean, polished, and protected.
01
Decontamination
Full exterior pre-wash, snow foam soak, and wheel decontamination. Tar, iron fallout, and road film removed before a single cloth touches the paint.
02
Clay Bar Treatment
The paint surface is clayed to remove embedded contamination invisible to the eye — the critical step that separates a polish from a proper detail.
03
Machine Polish
Paint enhancement using professional dual-action and rotary machine polishers. Swirls, light scratches, and oxidation corrected to restore true depth and gloss.
04
Protection & Seal
Premium wax, sealant, or ceramic-based protection applied to lock in the finish — delivering months of hydrophobic protection and showroom-quality gloss.
05
Interior Reset
Full deep clean of seats, carpets, dash, door cards, and glass. Every surface treated — not wiped. The inside gets the same uncompromising attention as the outside.
06
Trim & Tyres
Exterior plastics dressed and restored. Tyres dressed for a clean, factory-correct finish. Every visible surface considered — nothing overlooked.
07
Final Detail
Glass cleaned inside and out, badges and jambs dressed, final inspection under LED lighting. The car doesn't leave until it looks the way it should.
08
Handover
Your car is presented to you. Not handed back — presented. The reaction at this moment is the only measure of whether the job was done properly.

Maintenance Plan
Protect the investment. Keep the standard.
Once your car has been through the TMR Signature Reset, a maintenance plan keeps it there.
Weekly
The Weekly Standard
£60
For those who use their car daily and want it maintained at a consistent level every week. Full exterior wash, dry, and inspection — keeping contamination from building before it causes damage.
Fortnightly — Most Popular
The Fortnightly
£75
The most popular choice among TMR clients. Every two weeks keeps the car in excellent condition without the commitment of weekly appointments — the sweet spot for most owners.
Monthly
The Monthly
£90
A full monthly maintenance visit — thorough and unhurried. For weekend cars, lighter usage vehicles, or those who want a more comprehensive single session each month.

Important: TMR Maintenance Plans are reserved for vehicles that have completed the Signature Reset. If maintenance lapses or a new vehicle joins the plan, a full reset is required before the maintenance schedule begins. This protects the standard — for every car on the plan.

Word of Mouth
Every client a referred client.
"I've had my 911 detailed by three different places over the years. None of them come close. The paint looked better than when I collected it from the dealership."
