Completed Cleaning & Valeting Jobs

Think of car valeting as a professional pamper service for your car. Rather than giving it a basic clean, a valet service gets into the nitty-gritty of your car, focusing on every aspect with great care and detail. 

The car valeting process includes three main steps:

• Cleaning
• Waxing
• Polishing

One of our expert car cleaners will thoroughly clean, polish, and wax the bodywork of your car, scrub all of the wheels and shuts, polish brightwork and windows, perform a full interior clean, and dress exterior plastics and tyres. 

Your service may also include washing your car with a ‘clay bar’ to remove the following contaminants from the paint: tar spots, bird droppings, tree sap, and damage from air pollution. All of these issues cause the paint to fade and feel rough to the touch, leading to your car appearing a little neglected. 

The valet process is done to make your car look brand new, whether that’s for yourself or before selling to improve its resale value.

When it comes to car detailing, there’s more of a focus on the appearance of the paintwork and the interior, with a meticulous focus on restoration and finishing. 

Our expert cleaners will make sure the paintwork is free from noticeable swirls, marks, and scratches to achieve a high-quality showroom finish. We will also apply end protective coatings, including wax, sealant or ceramic coatings, to preserve the finish.

However, it’s not just the exterior that’s focused on so minutely; inside detailing means focusing on every nook and cranny of your car:

• Deep cleaning and hoovering seats, floors, and dashboards
• Shampooing carpets and seats
• Conditioning the leather 
• Detailing air vents and crevices

It can be hard to discern between each one when you’re a newbie, but we’re here to clear things up!

• Basic clean (car wash): A basic clean involves a simple exterior wash that doesn’t take too much time. If you’re looking for a simple way to revive your car’s appearance without breaking the bank, this is the option to choose. A basic clean can be done by hand or through an automated car wash.
• Car valet: This is where it gets more serious. A car valet is for those drivers who have let their car get too messy to handle (we’re looking at you). A cleaner will focus on the interior and exterior of your car to leave it gleaming outside and smelling fresh inside.
• Car detailing: A car detailing service is a one-up from a valet service. It focuses on all the same areas, but with a bit more precision. The processes typically require more advanced techniques, which is why they take longer and cost more money.

A car valet or detailing service can vary depending on the type of car you have and the type of service you have chosen.

If you opt for a basic exterior wash and a quick interior tidy, the process typically takes around 30 minutes for an average car. A full valet service, however, will take around an hour or two for a standard full valet on a car in normal condition. For larger vehicles (SUVs, 4x4s) or very dirty cars, it could take longer.

Detailing takes even longer due to the level of precision that goes into it. You’re looking at around 3 hours to half a day to get your car detailed. In some cases, it may even take a full day, as paint correction can take several hours alone.

A good rule of thumb is to schedule a valet every 3 to 6 months, depending on how much you use your car. Doing so will keep the paint job fresh and prevent any issues caused by trapped dirt or debris (and messy children).

You can just use a basic car wash between then to keep on top of the appearance of your vehicle. 

Many people only schedule a car detailing once or twice a year, as this service is designed to thoroughly clean your car after it has been used extensively throughout the year. If you keep your car in good condition daily, you should have fewer issues with its appearance to address when the time comes. 

Yes! At Car Cleaning Experts, we only use high-quality, vehicle-safe products and methods that are specifically formulated for automotive use.

We avoid harsh chemicals that could damage your car’s paintwork and use tools like wash mitts and microfibre towels to avoid scratching. 

Wherever possible, we use eco-friendly products and practices, such as minimal water waste techniques and proper disposal of runoff to minimise environmental damage.

Preparing your car for a deep clean beforehand will help us out a lot and mean less waiting around for us to prep and clean.

To get your car ready for your professional valet or detailing, do the following:

• Remove all personal belongings.
• Clear out car seats and mats if possible.
• Park your car in a spot that’s easy to manoeuvre around and where all areas of the car are accessible.
• Place your car in a shaded area (if possible) so that cleaning products can work effectively without drying too fast.
