Diamond Cut Detailing

Diamond Cut Detailing began in 2018 as a mobile service: during its first months, founder Lewis traveled around Exeter in a van while building a customer base interested in car care. The company later moved into two Marsh Barton facilities, each set up for different detailing and protection work.

The first unit operates as a detailing studio. Services there include washes and care treatments, multistage machine polishing, and paint correction for swirl marks, light scratches, and oxidation. Specialist lighting and a controlled workspace let the team inspect a finish before applying protection—useful when restoring clarity and gloss calls for a different approach from one vehicle to another.

The second unit is dedicated to paint protection film (PPF) and vehicle wraps. The space is designed for precise film installation, and the company says it uses digital patterns and cutting equipment to prepare pieces before application. PPF is intended to protect exposed areas from stone chips, scratches, and road debris; some films described by the company have self-healing properties for light marks.

Other services include ceramic coatings, new-car protection, window tinting, and full-surface protection packages. A package may combine film, ceramic treatment, and interior protection depending on the vehicle's condition and intended use. Diamond Cut Detailing also lists maintenance and training services, though it says a vehicle must first meet certain conditions before entering a maintenance program.

The company describes itself as an XPEL-accredited PPF installer and works with Titan coatings. It presents these options according to the surface and goal: film for impact-prone areas or broader coverage, polishing to correct visible defects, and ceramic coatings to make maintenance easier and add protection from environmental contaminants.

When work falls outside cosmetic detailing—such as wheel refurbishment, dent removal, or a deep scratch—the company says it works with independent repair businesses for those services. That distinction helps clarify which jobs take place in its own units and which are handled through partners.

Both facilities are on Cofton Road in Exeter's Marsh Barton trading estate. The company serves customers from the city and the wider southwest of England and takes inquiries for quotes and appointments. Weekday hours run through the business day; Saturday visits are by appointment only.
