Overview

Cleaning that does not damage the paint

The majority of swirl marks in a car's paint were put there during washing. Brush tunnels, dirty sponges and a dry wipe down will all leave marks that only machine polishing can remove, and some car washes use squeegees, which drag grit straight across the surface. Acidic wheel cleaners are worse again if they are left to work in direct sunlight, the heat accelerates the reaction and can etch the surface before it is even rinsed off. A proper valet gets the car genuinely clean without adding to that damage.

Every job, wherever it happens, uses the same deionised water and the same standard. Book the mobile unit and it arrives with its own deionised water supply and everything else already on board.

Everything we use is LSP-safe, biodegradable and non-caustic. That matters if your car is already coated or has film fitted, because harsh traffic-film removers strip protection you have paid for.

Valeting maintains the car's current condition to a high standard. If the paint itself needs improving rather than cleaning, that is correction work, and we will say so rather than sell you a valet that cannot deliver what you are hoping for.

Two ways to book

Studio or mobile, your call

Add-ons

A little extra couldn’t hurt

Standalone treatments that complement any package, or book them entirely on their own.

Headlight Restoration

From £80 a pair

Polished for light yellowing, or wet-sanded and polished where oxidation runs deeper, then sealed with a protective coating.

Scratch Removal

From £30

Targeted machine correction for scratches and scuffs. Best suited to isolated marks on otherwise healthy paint.

Sticker & Decal Removal

£100 per hour

Stickers, decals and adhesive residue removed safely, without damaging the paint or any film underneath.

Engine Bay Detail

From £60

Steam clean and specialist degreasers leave the bay looking sharp and make future maintenance easier.

Upholstery Cleaning

£20 per seat

Deep clean of fabric or leather seats to lift embedded dirt, stains and odours.

Mould Removal

Price on inspection

Professional extraction and sanitising treatment for mould and mildew in the cabin. Severity assessed on inspection.

Ozone Treatment

Price on inspection

Industrial-grade ozone treatment to eliminate deep-set odours, including smoke, pets and damp, and to kill airborne bacteria.

Wheel Refurbishment

Price on inspection

Acid dipped and powder coated back to a factory-level finish, done properly rather than just touched up. Any finish, any colour, whatever you can picture.

Our process

How we valet a car

The order matters. Doing it in the wrong sequence is how paint gets marred.

  1. Pre-wash

    A touchless pre-wash chemical breaks down the heaviest grit before anything makes contact with the paint, cutting the risk of marring during the wash that follows.

  2. Wheels, arches and tyres

    Cleaned before the contact wash, so brake dust and road grime never get carried onto paint that is about to be washed clean.

  3. Contact wash

    A one-bucket method, freshly filled for every job, with a grit guard to keep contamination out of the mitt. We work top to bottom, working into crevices, emblems and badges with an ultra-soft brush.

  4. Decontamination

    On the fuller packages, chemical and mechanical decontamination removes bonded tar and industrial fallout.

  5. Seal and dry

    A ceramic sealant is applied to the body, glass and wheels, the car is blow dried, then any water that is left is lifted with a clean plush microfibre.

  6. Interior & final checks

    Interior work is finished and the car goes through a final check before handover.

Why our valeting is different

Six reasons, if you need them

Hover a card, or tap it on mobile.

Safe wash methods

One bucket, freshly filled for every job, with a grit guard to keep contamination out of the mitt. We work top to bottom, in the right order, so swirls never get the chance to go back in.

Deionised water on tap

Our mobile unit carries its own deionised water supply, so we need nothing from your home to get started. A hosepipe ban does not stop us either.

Protection-safe products

LSP-safe, biodegradable and non-caustic, so any ceramic coating or film you have already paid for is not stripped out by what we wash it with.

Genuinely mobile across Essex

Braintree, Chelmsford, Witham, Colchester, Great Notley, Halstead and the surrounding area, or drop the car at the studio instead.

Interior taken seriously

Extraction, leather care and proper detailing of vents and trim. Not a quick vacuum and a wipe round with a cloth.

Tailored to your car

Only the exterior needs proper attention and the interior is already fine? We scope and price the job around what the car actually needs, not push you into a package that charges for work it does not.

End of lease?

A free inspection before you hand the keys back

Lease companies charge for anything beyond fair wear and tear, and those charges are rarely small. Book an end of lease valet and we will inspect the car alongside the clean, tell you honestly what is likely to get flagged, and what can realistically be fixed before it goes back.

Book an end of lease clean

Full interior & exterior deep clean

Every panel and surface brought back to the standard a returns inspector expects to see.

Free pre-return inspection

We go over the car with you and point out anything likely to be picked up at handover.

Honest fix recommendations

Where something can be corrected, we will tell you before you commit to anything, and roughly what it would cost.

No surprises at drop-off

You go into the return knowing exactly what you are handing back, not hoping for the best.

Common questions

Valeting questions

Do you come to me or do I come to you?

Both. Drop the car at our Braintree studio for a faster booking slot and our full range of equipment, or book the mobile unit and we will come to you anywhere across Braintree, Chelmsford, Witham, Colchester, Great Notley, Halstead and the surrounding Essex area. Paint correction, ceramic coating and paint protection film are studio-only, because they need controlled lighting and conditions.

Do you need my water or electricity?

No. We carry our own deionised water supply and all the valeting equipment, so a hosepipe ban or no outside tap is never an issue. All we need is room to work around the car.

Does a hosepipe ban stop you working?

No. Our mobile unit carries its own deionised water supply, so hosepipe bans and drought restrictions do not affect us.

How long does a valet take?

A mini valet is typically one to two hours. A full valet usually takes two to four hours. An interior reset is typically two to three hours but depends heavily on the starting condition, and we will give you a realistic time when we quote.

What is the difference between valeting and detailing?

Valeting cleans the car thoroughly and safely, returning it to the best version of its current condition. Detailing changes that condition, using machine polishing to remove defects from the paint and then protecting the result. Valeting maintains, detailing corrects.

How often should I book?

Our Maintenance package runs weekly, bi-weekly or monthly for most customers, whichever suits how the car is used. Cars that are garaged or lightly used can usually go longer between visits.
