Define car valeting are you just washing them with WFP or just washing them with soap and water .

Car valeting is a different ball game all together . Mike

waiting on details yet, going to speak to her tommorrow, it wont be wfp, they have a valetor in now so guessing its a internal monthly and external clean weekly, but need to get the specifics off her to be certain,

If you make it easier for yourself its good money,if you are over the top with cleansiness its hardwork and not good money.
Get the right cleaning products its easy.
G101
gum and tar remover
glass gleam
highstyle for plastics
forget the polish but its a nice light easy white polish
jobs a good one
All from Autosmart,itis hardwork however if you have lots of cars to clean and polish at say £50 a car its very good money.
Wash them altogether
Polish them altogether
I was stitched up by a dreamer who ended up in prison for 6 and half years for fraud.Thats what wrecked me.
Go for it m8!

Do you spend hours cleaning your own car and do know how to wash a car properly. Mike

[windiewasher]

I used to clean a full car in 2 hours to showroom condition.
That's everything including pressure washing and lacquering the engine aswell as upholstery clean or leather clean and dressing.
But for a exterior 5 minute washoff dry with a flunkey or a microfiber
then a quick hand polish 10 minutes
plastics and tyre dressing 5 minutes
glass cleaning
Should take you half a hour a car and would be atleast £25 for the later or £50-£70 for the first!

Cleaned an 01 Bentley and newish Subaru Forester on Monday - Just washed with DI water - Fairly quick and they both looked nice but Car Valeting is something I'd leave to the experts.

i dont spend hours on mine, just a wash over with pure, or cloths, but one of the staff used to do it, so hes got some knowledge,

I'm having my car properly valeted next Thursday. It's £200 for the top job.he reckons he'll be done in a day but 'may need to come back to finish off'
I wouldn't do valeting

Yup. He calls it the Gold Treatment.
It's everything he offers. And he does some really lovely motors.
Engine bay, leather feed, paint protector (actually not sure what that is)-the whole 9 yards.
He showed me pictures of the same make & model car and it was older-looked better than mine!

Its great stuff.
Make everything immaculate and its a seal that sits on your paint.protects it for 2 years from oxodising.dirt dung judt wipes without damaging your paintwork.
Also protects your carpets cloth seats etc.basically makes it all watrproof.

Hi George, we supply many auto detailers with a waterless cleaning product called Beyond-Kleen (all-in-one clean,shine,and protect,) easy on and easy off product that will transform your clients vehicles, once you start applying Beyond-Kleen to any vehicle you never again have to polish or wax the vehicle as Beyond-Kleen based on nano technology is far superior and far more durable than traditional waxes and polishes, if you would like more information under no obligation drop me an email.

[Mike #1]

Bol***ks their is no way an all in one product is better than a £30 plus top quality wax not a bloody chance .

And their is no way you use a microfibre cloth on car paintwork unless you like lovely scratches all over your car . Mike

[Geoff]

How do you get into that awkward space on the inside of the windscreen right down the base neat the air vents?

I kill myself trying to get in there.  Need to be a contortionist!

[Tadgh O Shea]

Hi Mike, as you said car valeting is a different ballgame, and when you have been doing it for over 30 years your experience teaches you which are the best products for paint surfaces, i can tell you Mike the all-in-one product i am talking about is the dogs b******s when it comes to surface protection on all exterior surfaces and traditional waxes and polishes are years behind this new technology, and Mike you wont know the product as it has only come into Europe last week for the first time.
In the past Mike i would of agreed with you in that many of the all-in-one products which i have tried over the years were not great, but again this one is the dogs b******s and one of the best i have come across in many years.

[George P]

Tadgh O Shea, may take you up on the email when i know a little more about whats required,

Mike, i wouldnt use microfibre on someone elses car, but i do on my own, no scratches yet,
