WHY IS CAR DETAILING NOT “JUST A QUICK CLEAN”? 🧼 🚗
I’ve had a lot of messages recently asking for prices, so I just wanted to explain what actually goes into a professional valet/detail 👇
When you book with me, you’re not just paying for a wash you’re paying for:
✨ Time & attention to detail
✨ High-quality products (not cheap supermarket products)
✨ Proper tools & equipment
✨ Experience and care for your vehicle
✨ A finish that actually lasts
A full valet can take hours, not minutes. That includes things like:
✔️ Deep cleaning seats, carpets & mats
✔️ Proper wheel and arch clean
✔️ Safe wash methods to avoid scratches
✔️ Interior sanitising
✔️ Paintwork care and protection
Every car is different, some need more time, more product and more effort depending on condition.
•If you’re looking for a quick cheap wash, I’m probably not the right fit and that’s ok.
•If you want your car looked after properly and finished to a high standard, I’ve got you covered.
A full interior & exterior valet typically takes around 4 hours to complete to a high standard which I charge from £60+
That works out at roughly £15–£16 per hour and that’s before factoring in:
• Professional products & equipment
• Water & electricity costs
• Travel time to you (if mobile)
• Wear & tear on tools
• Attention to detail (this isn’t a quick wash it’s a deep clean)
I always aim to deliver the highest standard and I hope this gives a little insight into the work behind each valet
Thanks Sam
