Exterior Car Valeting
A careful hand wash that leaves paint clean, glossy and protected.
Clean paint without the swirl marks
Most light scratches and swirl marks come from poor washing: dirty sponges, automatic brushes and drying with the wrong cloth. Our exterior valet is built around safe wash methods that loosen and remove dirt before the paint is touched, then wash and dry it gently.
More than the bodywork
Wheels, tyres, arches, door shuts, exhaust tips and glass all get attention, because a clean body on dirty wheels never looks finished. The valet ends with a layer of protection to add gloss and help the car stay cleaner between washes.
Taking it further
If the paint feels rough or looks dull even when clean, it may need decontamination or polishing. That is where detailing and longer-lasting paint protection come in. To include the cabin, choose a full valet.

Common questions
Is a hand wash really better than a car wash?
Yes. Automatic brushes and shared sponges drag grit across the paint. A careful hand wash with clean equipment is much kinder to the finish.
What water do you use?
We use pure, deionised water for all valeting and detailing. With the minerals filtered out, it dries clear and leaves no water spots or streaks, which matters in hard water areas like West Sussex and Hampshire.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain does not usually stop an exterior valet. In heavy rain or high winds we may suggest rearranging so you get the result you are paying for.
