Not a full on detail, more of just a deep clean valet. Just showing what a difference a good claying session can do to a neglected car. The car is a 10 year old red Golf.
Well after launching the Mirror Finish Express Valet Service we can respond to urgent calls out of the back of a fully equipped estate car.
I must admit I really enjoy travelling about again this week and really enjoyed just valeting again. Not everything is machine polishing. I am hoping my brother can operate this business for me as I still have the detailing jobs to do.
We have done a few valeting jobs recently and this was our first booking using the generator and water tank, I just wanted to make sure everything worked properly.
Car was booked for a Mirror Finish Silver valet so off I went.
This car was the second of the day, with a Bronze Valet to do afterwards that was just booked half way through the Golf, so quite a busy day.
I have insisted that even thought this is a Valeting business, there are some things that I do for detailing will stay. Mainly the method I wash a car. So I snowfoamed the car, power washed off, snow foamed again and washed with the two bucket method. However, things like door shuts etc are not given that attention.
On with some pics.
On arrival. Some bleaching of the paint and lack of reflection.
Wheel before cleaning.
Wheel being cleaned with Bilberry.
A bit of Wolf De ironiser doing it's stuff.
Quite a swirly car really but that is not what I was there for.
Snow Foam Action.
Final rinse and no protection on this car.
Customer paid for a clay upgrade so roof after claying.
The car was dried with towels, a blade was used on the windows. Tyres dresses and finished with a coat of Opti Seal leaving me with this.
Tyres dressed.
Remember before.
Finished.
Interior was hoovered out and all plastics cleaned.
Now this was no way a detail. However the customer was over the moon with it and I personally put it down to claying. A car can look great after a claying session even if it still has swirl marks in it.
One thing I would like to point out is this car has really being looked after by the customer. Vert slight swirls in the paint. I have seen and worked on 6 month old cars that are in terrible condition.
This add onto to my main detailing business is a real eye opener for me and glad I invested the time and money to launch it.
Cheers for reading, and no swirl mark comments please.
