📌 CHOOSING THE RIGHT CLEAN: What to expect from our new 86 Detail packages! 👋
We get asked all the time: "Which valet does my car actually need?"
To help you get the exact finish you are looking for—and to keep our pricing completely transparent—we’ve broken down our upgraded 2026 valeting menu. Here is a quick guide on what to expect from each package so you can book with confidence! 👇
🧼 1. THE MINI VALET
Best for: Cars that are already looked after and just need a routine maintenance top-up.
What it is: A thorough exterior safe-wash, wheel face clean, and a rapid cabin tidy-up (vacuum, light dust, and glass wipe).
⚠️ What to expect: This is a maintenance clean designed to wash away recent road grime and dust. It is not a deep clean. If your car has deep-set carpet stains, thick pet hair, or months of baked-on mud, we’ll need to step you up to a higher tier to give it the time it deserves.
⏱️ Time on site: Approx. 1 to 1.5 hours.
✨ 2. THE HALF VALET
Best for: Giving a dirty car a dramatic visual reset, inside and out.
What it is: Everything in the Mini, plus deep arch cleaning, a high-gloss spray sealant applied to the paintwork, a thorough dashboard/console scrub, and full door-shut cleaning.
⚠️ What to expect: Your car will look stunning, smell fantastic, and bead water beautifully. However, while fabrics are heavily vacuumed and plastics are deep-cleaned, this package does not include wet-extraction shampooing for heavily stained seats or floors.
⏱️ Time on site: Approx. 2 to 3 hours.
🔥 3. THE FULL VALET (Our Most Popular Service)
Best for: Vehicles that need a thorough turnaround, regular maintenance catch-ups, or cars being prepared for sale.
What it is: A comprehensive deep clean. It includes full exterior chemical decontamination (tar and iron fallout removal to smooth the paint) and targeted, localised spot-cleaning / stain extraction on the most affected areas of your carpets and seats.
⚠️ What to expect: We will aggressively target and lift individual unsightly stains, spills, and heavily soiled high-traffic areas (like the driver's footwell or a specific seat spill). Please note: This does not include a full wall-to-wall wet shampoo of every single fabric surface. If your interior requires a complete, deep wet-seat extraction shampoo across the entire cabin, you can easily add that on as a specialised upgrade menu item when booking!
⏱️ Time on site: Approx. 3.5 to 4.5 hours.
👑 4. THE MEGA VALET
Best for: The ultimate car enthusiast transformation or restoring faded, dull paintwork.
What it is: The pinnacle of our lineup. It includes everything in the Full Valet, plus a mechanical clay bar treatment and a Single-Pass Machine Polish (Refinement) using our Dual-Action polishers to eliminate light oxidation, boost paint depth, and lock in premium protection.
⚠️ What to expect: A jaw-dropping, glassy, showroom finish. It significantly reduces light micro-scratches and maximizes gloss. Note: Significant or heavy scratches, especially those that catch a fingernail, may require specialised multi-stage correction, but this package will make 90% of cars look better than the day they left the factory.
⏱️ Time on site: Full-day booking.
