The story
behind the name.

It started with a joke. Danny — whose name just happens to start with a D — has spent the better part of a decade obsessing over the bits of a car that nobody else notices. The seams where the leather meets the plastic. The polish haze hiding in the door shuts. The wax residue trapped inside a badge.

His wife Victoria pointed out the obvious: "With you, it really is all in the Dtail."

The name stuck. The company followed. Today, ItsallintheDTail Ltd is a two-director, one-technician operation serving clients across Leeds who want their cars treated the way a concours judge would treat them — even if the car is just going to Waitrose.

Danny spent nearly six hours on my Range Rover. When he'd finished I could see tiny imperfections I never even knew were there — gone. The paint looks wet. Faultless.

Booked a paint correction for my Audi RS3 after a terrible detailer put swirls everywhere. Danny rescued it. Paint gauge readings, before/after photos, the lot. Proper professional.

Victoria was brilliant on the phone — actually answered, actually knew what Danny did. He came to the house, set up in the driveway, and four hours later my 911 looked showroom again. Worth every penny.

I was sceptical that interior detailing on a three-year-old family SUV could make much difference. Then Danny got into it with steam and brushes. The car smells and feels brand new. Best £ I've spent on it.

9-year ceramic on my new Taycan. Danny prepped the paint for the best part of a day before the coating even went on. Two years in, water still beads like day one. The man is obsessive — in the best way.

Tom B.

★★★★★

Sold my M3 for £1,400 over book price after Danny's full detail. The buyer said he'd never seen a used car look so clean. Proves the name — really is all in the Dtail.

Small print, answered.

Paint correction is the multi-stage machine polishing of your car's clear-coat to physically remove swirl marks, holograms, light scratches and wash marks. It's not hiding defects with wax — it's levelling the paint itself, measured with a gauge and finished so the gloss is genuinely restored. It takes hours and real skill.
Wax gives you 2–3 months of warm gloss and light protection. Ceramic gives you 2–9 years of hydrophobic, chemically-bonded protection with a much deeper shine. If you keep cars long-term and want the paint preserved, ceramic pays for itself. If you change cars every 18 months, a good sealant or wax is plenty.
Minimum four hours. Most full details run 5–6 hours. Paint correction jobs can stretch to a full day or two days depending on the condition. If someone tells you they can full-detail a car in 90 minutes, what they're offering is a wash — not a detail.
Yes — everything is mobile. Driveway, office car park, garage — as long as there's somewhere out of direct sun or rain, we're set. The van carries its own water and power, so we don't need access to your outside tap or socket. Flat-ish ground is ideal for machine polishing.
For a maintenance valet, usually 7–10 days. For a full detail or paint correction, 2–3 weeks is typical. Ceramic coatings need a committed slot because they're multi-day. Drop us a message early — we'll hold a tentative date while you decide.
Rough bands, VAT-inclusive, subject to car condition and size:
— Maintenance Valet: from £75
— Interior Detail: from £160
— Full Detail Package: from £275
— Machine Polishing / Enhancement: from £295
— Paint Correction: from £495
— Ceramic Coating (correction included): from £695
We quote properly once we've seen the car — a photo of the paint and the registration is enough.
