Question 1

What's the difference between a valet and a detail?

Accepted Answer

A valet cleans your car. A detail restores it. Our Deep Clean and Maintenance services are valets: they get the car properly clean inside and out and keep it that way. Detailing goes further, with paint decontamination, machine polishing to remove swirl marks and protection such as a ceramic coating. If your car is just dirty, you need a valet. If the paint looks dull or swirled, you need a detail.

Question 2

What's the real difference between your services and a cheap hand car wash?

Accepted Answer

A hand car wash is built for speed, and the brushes and harsh chemicals it relies on are what leave swirl marks and fine scratches in your paint. We use a pH-neutral two-bucket safe wash, decontaminate the paint and take our time, so the car comes out properly clean and the finish is protected, not damaged. It's the difference between a quick tidy and proper care for your car.

Question 3

What is paint correction, and do I need it?

Accepted Answer

Paint correction is machine polishing that removes swirl marks, light scratches and dullness from your paint. Look at your car in direct sunlight: if you can see a web of fine scratches, you'd benefit from it. Single stage correction starts from £425 and two stage from £575. The full detail is on our ceramic coating and paint correction page.

Question 4

Is a ceramic coating really worth the investment?

Accepted Answer

For most owners who plan to keep their car, yes. A ceramic coating forms a hard layer over the paint that lasts far longer than wax, adds a deep gloss and makes the car much easier to wash, because water and dirt slide off. We apply it as part of a paint correction package, so the paint is corrected first and the coating protects a flawless finish. It's worth it most on a car you care about and plan to keep, and we'll tell you honestly if it isn't right for yours. Our services page explains how it works.

Question 5

Which service is right for my car?

Accepted Answer

It depends on what you want from it. If the car is dirty or tired, start with a Deep Clean, or a Maintenance valet if it's already in good shape. If it's in good condition and you want a visual boost, our Enhancement Detail is the one. If the paint looks swirled and dull, paint correction is the answer, and if you want long-term protection and gloss, we'd recommend paint correction with a ceramic coating. The quickest way to know is to send us a few photos on WhatsApp on 07407 216716 and we'll give you a free, honest recommendation.

Question 6

Do you offer car valeting in Birmingham, and which other areas do you cover?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our mobile unit covers south Birmingham, including Maypole, Warstock, Hawkesley, Druids Heath, Hasluck's Green and Headley Heath, as well as Wythall, Shirley and the rest of Solihull. We also cover Bromsgrove, Redditch, Alvechurch, Barnt Green, Catshill, Rubery, Halesowen and Droitwich Spa. If you're somewhere we haven't listed, send us your postcode and we'll tell you honestly whether we can reach you.

Question 7

How long will you need my car for?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the service, the size of your car and its condition. As a guide, a Maintenance valet takes 2 to 3 hours, a Deep Clean averages 6 to 8 hours, single stage paint correction takes 8 to 10 hours and two stage takes 1 to 2 days. We'll give you a realistic time when we quote. Because we come to your home, there's no dropping off or collecting.

Question 8

How much does a car valet or detail cost?

Accepted Answer

Our prices start from £80 for a Maintenance valet, £150 for a Deep Clean, £350 for an Enhancement Detail, £425 for single stage paint correction and £575 for two stage. Ceramic coating comes with one of our paint correction packages rather than on its own. We confirm the exact price once we've seen photos of your car, so send us a few and we'll quote for yours.
