Where as a valet will generally focus on a quick wash and perhaps some type of spray wax to clean your car and have it looking ‘acceptable’ from a distance, detailing goes far beyond simply cleaning your car. A ‘clean’ car can technically be free of dirt but can still lack that lustrous shine only found in a high quality paint finish. Many quick valets can actually cause more harm than good, often with dirty washing implements being used throughout the day on numerous cars. Poor washing methods with the main aim of speed rather than quality can all too quickly leave your cars paint looking dull and lifeless.

 

Detailing especially with Paint Correction, is more of a rejuvenation of the cars paintwork. From the wash stage, where every care is taken to ensure we do not damage the paintwork in any way by using a tried and tested pre wash and wash method, through the decontamination stage where we start looking at your paint in more detail, carefully removing tar or sap deposits, onto the cleansing or correction stage (depending on your chosen detail), where the paints depth of shine is improved and finally onto the finishing stage where we can use a number of different carefully chosen protective products the ensure the paint, plastics, rubbers and glass look at their best for as long as possible after detailing

 

Perfection however takes time, anywhere from 6-36 hrs, and this coupled with the higher cost of the high quality products we use means that detailing does cost more than a typical valet. With our fixed pricing system though there are no hidden surprises no matter how long the detail actually takes and with most main dealers now charging around £100 per hour for servicing work, we feel we offer excellent value when you also consider that the resale value of any vehicle is affected by its condition and aesthetics.
