Car valet - How much?

**simonturner1975** · 2nd June 2009, 13:22

My car could do with a really good clean, polish inside and out. So once my springs arrive and have been fitted, I find my alloy wheels and they have been fitted and before I post any pics I thought I might give the old girl a treat.

I was wondering how much I could expect to pay for this and is there anyone near Derby members could recommend?

Thanks

All depends on what you consider to be "clean"

Theres ALOT of valets out there who in my eyes do more damamge than good (causing swirl marks, acid wheel cleaner etc) Your probably looking at about £30-£60 for a full valet from those guys.

Oth the other have if you clued up on car care you'd better of going for a detail, due to its nature takes much much longer to do and as a result costs alot more. I have 1 full correction detail a year and 3 top ups with a top quality wax and machine polishing. I pay £220 for the full correction to remove all swirls (results are turely stunning) and £160 for a lesser details.

Look here for what i mean by detail:-

If you are interested in a detail and willing to travel a little then you can talk to Lump and myself and we could probably sort you out

Just send us a PM if you're interested.

How far is travel a little? where are you based?

I looked at the detailing section before posting this. I would rather have the full montey so it looks spot on tbh. Certainly need to save up for this to be done. Car is costing a bit at the moment.

We don't have a business in detailing. Lump has detailed many members motors and over the last few months I've been learning from Lump and got loads of equipment. Lump lives in Coventry and I live near Peterborough.
Let us know if you are interested and we may 'tag team it'
