LT Detailer
Joomla template for car detailing and valeting studios: a 50/50 test-spot hero, services with time in the studio, three correction stages, protection compared and a booking form.
The Joomla version of this design is being rebuilt on the stack below. Until it is released, the download is the current version of LT Detailer for Joomla.
Key features
LT Detailer opens with a 50/50 test spot: swirl marks on one side of the tape and corrected paint on the other, with gloss and paint-depth readings. Pages cover paint correction in three stages, ceramic coating, interior detailing, maintenance valets, how a detail works, aftercare and a booking request.
- A test spot on the home pageA taped panel shows swirls on one half and the corrected finish on the other, with readings for gloss and paint depth.
- Correction stages side by sideEnhancement, two-stage and three-stage correction each get a swatch, the defects removed, clear coat taken and days in the studio.
- Wax, sealant and ceramic comparedOne table sets out how long each protection lasts, how water behaves on it and how to wash the car afterwards.
- Quickstart or template packageFree: template + one-page quickstart (the home page as a one-page website). Pro: full multi-page website like the demo (a full copy of the demo site, restored with Akeeba Kickstart and Akeeba's restoration script in the browser). Or add the template to a Joomla site you already run.
- One-page website in every editionFree comes with a one-page quickstart: the home page sections on one scrolling page, with a menu that scrolls to them and highlights the current section. Pro's full quickstart has the same one-page version next to the multi-page site.

What an AI assistant can do for a Joomla site
No AI writes into your Joomla site by itself. These are the honest options today; you stay in control of every change.
- AI assistant Free and Pro Ask the AI assistant on ltheme.com (the chat bubble) or Ask AI on doc.ltheme.com about installing and editing the template. Free help also comes through the contact form. Contact form
- AI help in ticket support Pro only Open a ticket and you get an instant AI-drafted answer; a person from our team follows up. Ticket support
- Texts for your pages Works with any AI assistant Ask an assistant such as Claude or ChatGPT to draft your page texts in your own words, then paste them into the SP Page Builder text editor and your Joomla articles.
- Small design changes Works with any AI assistant Describe the change and ask for CSS; paste it into Helix Ultimate's Custom Code tab and check the page before you save.
- AI kit WordPress version only The kit that lets an assistant edit pages safely (instructions, ready prompts, a checked import tool) exists for our WordPress themes only. Nothing in a Joomla site is changed by AI unless you paste it in. See the WordPress version

Questions
Is it only for detailing studios?
It also suits mobile valeters, paint protection specialists, car washes that offer valets and fleet cleaning services.
Do I need SP Page Builder Pro?
No. The pages use the free SP Page Builder Lite, with Convert Forms Free for the contact form; Helix Ultimate is free too.
Quickstart or template package: which one do I need?
For a new site take a quickstart: the Free one-page quickstart gives you the home page as a one-page website, the Pro quickstart the full multi-page website like the demo. Take the template package to restyle a Joomla site you already have; your content stays and the demo pages are not added.
What is the difference between Free and Pro?
Free: template + one-page quickstart (the template package and the home page sections as a one-page website with a scroll menu); the footer credit stays, and help comes from the AI assistant and the contact form. Pro: full multi-page website like the demo: every page, sample posts and the contact form, the one-page version too, credit removal (put your own copyright line there), updates and ticket support. Pro Standard is for one website with a year of updates, Pro Unlimited for unlimited websites with lifetime updates.
What if it does not work for me?
If a Pro product has a problem we cannot fix, open a ticket within 30 days of your order and we refund it in full.
