ONE STANDARD OF CARE
Different vehicle. Same obsession with the finish.
Our core expertise remains campers, campervans and motorhomes. But the same preparation, polishing, protection and restoration skills transfer beautifully to other specialist vehicles. We assess each enquiry properly first, because materials, access and the right process matter more than a one-size-fits-all package.
Prestige & performance cars
Careful detailing, machine polishing, surface refinement and protection for vehicles where finish quality matters.
Classic & cherished vehicles
A sympathetic approach to older paint, trim and materials, with preservation taking priority over aggressive correction.
Boats & marine
Exterior cleaning, oxidation assessment, polishing and suitable protection for accessible marine surfaces and finishes.
Horseboxes
Large-vehicle exterior care, cab detailing, paint enhancement and protection using the experience built around motorhomes.
Agricultural & specialist machinery
Selected cleaning, presentation and restoration work for tractors, utility vehicles and unusual equipment, assessed case by case.
Motorcycles & bikes
Detail-led cleaning and protection for bikes with particular attention to intricate finishes, trim and hard-to-reach areas.
WHAT WE CAN BRING TO THE JOB
Detail. Restore. Protect.
The exact process depends on the vehicle, its materials and its condition. Typical work includes:
Exterior detailing
Safe cleaning, decontamination and preparation tailored to the surface rather than a generic wash process.
Paint correction & enhancement
Machine polishing to improve gloss, clarity, oxidation, haze and light defects where the finish allows.
Ceramic & protective coatings
Preparation-led protection designed to make ongoing maintenance easier and help preserve the finish.
Trim & surface restoration
Assessment and restoration of faded plastics, selected exterior trim and weathered finishes.
Decals, graphics & finishing work
Selected removal, replacement and finishing work where it fits the vehicle and project.
Selected repairs
Minor bodywork, plastic repair and associated jobs where they sit within Coastline’s workshop capability.
HOW WE WORK
Undercover workshop or mobile by arrangement.
Based at Waterditch Farm in Christchurch, we welcome specialist vehicle enquiries from Bournemouth, Poole, the New Forest and Southampton, and further afield. Our covered workshop provides a controlled setting for detailed work, with the vehicle, access and suitable approach agreed before booking.
CHRISTCHURCH WORKSHOP
Best for controlled, detailed work.
Our covered workshop gives us the lighting, access and working conditions needed for polishing, coating, restoration and multi-stage jobs. For higher-detail work, this is usually the best environment.
MOBILE SERVICE
For suitable jobs, we can come to you.
Mobile detailing is available by arrangement where the location, access, weather and type of work make sense. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll confirm whether workshop or mobile is the better option.
NO GENERIC PACKAGES
Start with the vehicle, not a price list.
Show us what you have
Send the make, model, approximate size, postcode and a few useful photos.
We assess the right approach
We identify the likely process, any limitations and whether we need to inspect it first.
We agree the job
You get a clear scope before work starts, with workshop or mobile arrangements confirmed in advance.
A CLEARER FIRST CONVERSATION
Questions we’re asked about specialist vehicles
Do you work on cars as well as motorhomes?
Yes. We consider prestige, performance and classic cars, as well as boats, horseboxes, motorcycles and agricultural or specialist machinery. Tell us what you have and we’ll explain honestly whether the work is suitable for Coastline.
Can I bring a boat or horsebox to the workshop?
By arrangement, once we’ve checked its dimensions and access needs. Send the details and photographs before travelling, so we can confirm whether it can be accommodated at Waterditch Farm in Christchurch.
How do I get a quote?
Send a few photographs and tell us what you would like improved. We assess the vehicle and its condition first, then explain the suitable approach and provide a clear, no-obligation estimate. Some work needs a closer inspection before the scope can be confirmed.
Do you offer a mobile service for specialist vehicles?
Yes, for suitable work by arrangement. Send your postcode, access details and photographs so we can confirm what is possible. Multi-stage work such as paint correction and coatings is best carried out under cover at the workshop.
GOT SOMETHING UNUSUAL?
That is exactly the sort of enquiry we want to see.
Send us a few photos and tell us what you would like to improve. If it is within our capability, we’ll put together the right plan. If it is not, we’ll say so.
