The Problem

Portugal has 8.6 million vehicles in circulation with an average age exceeding 14 years — one of the oldest fleets in Western Europe. Car owners want to protect their investment but face a frustrating experience: fixed-location detailing shops require dropping off the car for hours, availability is limited, and quality is inconsistent.

Meanwhile, the EV and premium car boom (EVs now represent 23.2% of new sales; luxury brands grew 7.9% in 2025) is creating a segment of owners who are obsessive about paint protection and appearance. These buyers spent €30K-€80K on their vehicle and want professional ceramic coating, PPF, and regular maintenance — but the current market is fragmented, unprofessional, and opaque on pricing.

Mobile detailing solves this perfectly: the service comes to you, at your home or office, on your schedule.
