CAR CLEANING AT OUR VEHICLE PREP-CENTRE

CAR VALETING / DETAILING

Vehicle Preparation is something we have been specialising in since 1976.

We also offer to vehicle valet or detail customers cars upon request. Our service will take far longer than a hand car wash service due to the level of detail we work to.

Autoglym(TM) Lifeshine Paint & Fabric Protection

We are authorised to Supply & Apply what we believe to be the best product on the market for Paint & Fabric Protection following our own market research and trial testing period. We offer this to both car sales customers and the general public who to protect their investment.

This Paint & Fabric Protection differs from most other paint applications because it is a carbon-based polymer that bonds to the car. Our valetters have been trained and certificated to apply the product to the exterior and interior of the vehicle. This process takes time and can only be applied after the car has been thoroughly cleaned by our team beforehand which is part of the service. This ultra-smooth coating to the surface means you never have to reapply a ‘top-up- coat again. This protects your vehicle against atmospheric contaminates and UV rays ensuring your bodywork stays in its best possible condition.

The interior fabric protector stops spills becoming stains as the fabric will no longer adsorb liquids once it has been coated and a treatment is added to the glass to offer improved vision in the rain.

Once applied the product has a unique barcode which is registered online, giving you a lifetime guarantee and you will be issued with kit of Autoglym products to maintain and enhance the appearance of your car.

Car Cleaning

Cleaning a car is not the same as 'valeting' or 'detailing' a car. When we valet or detail our vehicles for sale it will take us a minimum of 4 hours depending on the condition of the car. We follow the same meticulous cleaning routine to ensure that we have a consistently high standard of clean using only the best chemicals and equipment available. The heated, clean and tidy working area has recently had new LED lighting which means the lighting and temperature is ideal to give the best possible working environment and in-turn finish to the vehicles. When the vehicles are finished and ready to go on display, we can be proud of the cleanliness and ensure that we deliver you the highest quality finished product.

Car Conditioning

A clean car is not good enough for us. We improve the condition of the vehicle’s paintwork, alloy wheels, engine bay and interior through a discipline known as valeting or detailing. When you clean a car you simply wash the dirt of the surface and then dry the car. This may be suitable as part of a regular maintenance process but over time this will not be though enough.

Exposure

Your car is constantly being exposed to different elements that will degrade the condition and appearance of its bodywork. Atmospheric dust, tree sap, bird lime, traffic film and road tar are all constants your vehicle is exposed to which are not addressed by car cleaning. Vehicle Manufactures dictate that a vehicle should be polished twice a year to maintain the anti-fade and corrosion guarantee that modern cars come with.Polish draws the dirt out of the pours of the paint that gather over time and are not addressed when washing the car.

Cleaning a car is therefore not the same as valeting or detailing a car and so please allow our team to show you the difference by booking in for one of our treatments.
