The Experience
Behind the Craft
A practice built around the exact standards used at the highest end of the specialist market. Precision, deep knowledge, and profound respect for engineering icons.
ALC Elite was founded by Jonty Collier, a highly experienced detailing and restoration specialist who spent more than 16 years honing his craft at Tom Hartley Jnr Ltd — one of the world's leading specialist car dealerships. During his tenure, he worked intimately on some of the most valuable and historically significant motor cars in existence, bringing them to concours standard.
The philosophy is uncompromising: every job is approached with a methodical and highly detailed process, built entirely around the condition, value, and precise requirements of the individual vehicle. Generic service tiers have no place in a collector-grade practice.

Tailored Detailing Packages
Customised packages built around each vehicle's condition, value, use and the owner's personal requirements — rather than offering a generic, one-size-fits-all service. This is the foundation of every relationship at ALC Elite.
Paint Correction & Thickness Mapping
Advanced multi-stage polishing to permanently reduce swirl marks, oxidation and paint defects, restoring a mirror-like finish. Critically, every correction begins with systematic paint thickness mapping to understand the safe working envelope and protect originality before machine work commences.
Dry Ice Cleaning & Restoration
A highly specialised, contactless deep-cleaning process using high-velocity dry ice pellets to safely lift dirt, grease and underseal from engine bays, underbodies and intricate areas — without water, chemicals or residue. Essential for preservation-class vehicles.
Vehicle & Provenance Inspections
Comprehensive assessments focusing on paint originality, evidence of previous repair, quality of past paintwork, factory-correct components, tool kits, and overall vehicle provenance. Invaluable for pre-purchase due diligence or concours preparation.
Interior Refinishing & Deep Cleaning
Refinishing of worn, aged or damaged interior components to OEM or better standards, carefully rejuvenating the cabin while always respecting the original character and authentic patina of the vehicle.
Concours Preparation Support
End-to-end preparation drawing on direct experience preparing vehicles to the exacting standards expected at the world's most prestigious motoring events. Includes engine bay detailing, component reconditioning, and ceramic coating protection.
Pre-Purchase Inspection & Advisory
A formal inspection is invaluable prior to purchase, sale, insurance valuation, or concours entry. We focus forensically on the elements that dictate a collector vehicle's long-term standing and financial value.
