Get my estimateLooking for proper car detailing in Bradford rather than a quick brush-over at a hand car wash? V12 Detailing is a local mobile detailing service covering Bradford and selected areas of West Yorkshire, focused on the safe, careful cleaning methods that protect your paint instead of grinding swirl marks into it.
We work on everyday vehicles — the daily runarounds, family cars and work vehicles that pick up Bradford's mix of motorway grime, brake dust and winter road salt — not just show cars. Whether your car needs a careful maintenance clean, a machine polish to bring back gloss, or full paint protection, you can pick the level of work it needs and see a clear from-price before you book.
Detailing across Bradford
We cover Shipley and the BD2, BD3, BD4, BD5, BD6, BD7 and BD10 areas of Bradford. We cover selected areas, so if you're just outside this list you're welcome to message us to check availability before booking.
Appointments are mobile and come to your home or workplace, and need an outside tap and an electricity source. If that isn't practical — no outside power, or on-street parking — drop-off may be available by arrangement. Message us first and we'll confirm availability, location and timing.
Our detailing packages
Three tiers cover most needs, and you can also build a fully custom set of services. Prices below are "from" prices for a small car and rise with vehicle size and condition.
A thorough refresh inside and out to keep a tidy car sharp. Around 2–3 hours.
Single-stage machine polish to lift gloss, reduce light swirls and restore headlights.
Two-stage correction and premium protection for the best finish. Around 5–8 hours.
We also offer ozone decontamination for stubborn smoke, pet and damp odours — one of the few local services in the Bradford area to do so — from £60.
Why detailing beats a Bradford hand car wash
A cheap hand car wash is fine for a quick rinse, but the same brushes and cloths pass over dozens of cars a day. That drags grit across your paint and leaves the fine swirl marks and dullness you see under direct sunlight. Detailing takes longer because the process is deliberately safer: pre-rinse, proper contact wash, careful drying, and the right products for trims and protection. The result lasts longer and protects the value of the car.

Frequently asked questions
Do you come to me in Bradford?
Yes — we're a mobile detailing service covering Shipley and the BD2, BD3, BD4, BD5, BD6, BD7 and BD10 areas. Mobile appointments need an outside tap and an electricity source. If that isn't possible, drop-off may be available by arrangement — just message us to check.
How much does car detailing cost in Bradford?
Our maintenance detail starts from £60, the enhancement detail from £140 and the signature detail from £280. The final price depends on vehicle size and condition — you can build an exact estimate using our online calculator.
How long does a detail take?
A maintenance detail usually takes around 2–3 hours depending on vehicle size and condition. A full signature detail can take around 5–8 hours depending on the package, condition, contamination level and any add-ons.
Can you remove swirl marks and light scratches?
Yes. Our enhancement and signature details use machine polishing to reduce or remove light swirls and improve gloss. Deeper defects are assessed first, as not all scratches can be fully removed safely.
