​Craftsmanship. Experience. Integrity.

With over 20 years of professional experience, Chris Meenan, founder of South East Detail, has become a trusted name in mobile car detailing and valeting across West Sussex, London, Surrey, and Kent. From high-performance vehicles to luxury marques and private collections, Chris has worked with a wide range of discerning clients — including VIPs who expect nothing short of excellence.

What sets Chris apart is his exceptional attention to detail and in-depth understanding of automotive finishes. He has the trained eye to detect subtle paint defects, evidence of previous resprays, or areas of poor dealership prep that may go completely unnoticed by the average vehicle owner — often revealing issues clients never knew existed.

Why “Brand New” Doesn’t Always Mean Flawless

A new vehicle may appear pristine at first glance — but on closer inspection, it’s often a different story. Even brand-new cars can arrive with:

• Light scratches, buffer trails, or holograms from rushed dealership polishing

• Surface contamination from transport or dockside storage

• Poorly prepared panels prior to dealer-applied protection packages

These flaws compromise the clarity and cleanliness of the finish, creating a poor foundation for any paint protection to bond effectively.

Unfortunately, many dealership "new car protection" services skip this crucial prep stage, applying products directly over defects. This results in subpar performance, limited durability, and an inferior finish compared to a professionally applied ceramic coating.

Chris ensures that every surface is thoroughly prepared before protection is applied — unlocking the true potential of your vehicle’s paintwork.
