A brief history of UF

UF Christmas 24/25 Opening Times

Welcome to the Ultimate Finish!

We are one of the UK’s leading independent, family run providers of high-quality car detailing products, dedicated to helping car owners keep their vehicles looking their best. With over 20 years of experience in the industry, we have built a reputation for delivering outstanding results and exceptional customer service.

Originally founded in 1999 by late owner Jez Gilman, Jez had a real passion for all things cars, in particular Porsche! Years spent in the parcel courier industry prior to getting involved in the automotive sector, Jez saw a great opportunity where Ultimate Finish could provide the latest and best car care products to the masses with speedy delivery time frames. Luckily enough, this was around the time the internet was starting to really boom!

At Ultimate Finish, we understand the importance of keeping your pride and joy looking its best. That's why we offer only the finest products from over 50 of the best car care brands in the market. We are always on the lookout for the next best innovation to Progress Your Passion. Whether you're looking for car air dryers, ceramic coatings, paint correction compounds or a simple car shampoo, we've got you covered.

Moving the business forward since Jez sadly passed in 2020, Ultimate Finish is now in the safe hands of Max Gilman (Jez’s son) and Sean Longworth-Smith.
