What's included in a full valet?
A full valet means a complete clean — exterior and interior — taking a car from everyday grime back to a fresh, well-kept condition. The term gets used loosely, so here's exactly what a proper full valet should cover.
Exterior
- Pre-rinse and snow-foam to lift loose dirt before contact
- Safe two-bucket hand wash with clean wash media
- Wheels, arches and tyres cleaned, then tyres dressed
- Glass cleaned inside and out for streak-free clarity
- Streak-free hand dry
- A protective wax or sealant to add shine and shed water
Interior
- Full vacuum — seats, carpets, mats and boot
- Dashboard, centre console, doors and trim wiped and conditioned
- Air vents, switches and hard-to-reach areas detailed
- Interior glass and mirrors cleaned
- Mats cleaned; fabric or leather wiped as needed
- Light deodorise so the cabin smells fresh
Need something deeper?
A full valet is thorough cleaning and basic wax protection. If your interior is heavily soiled — set-in stains, strong odours or lots of pet hair — a deep interior clean is the better choice, with extra time spent on extraction and treatment. Just tell us the condition of the car when you book and we'll recommend the right service.
How long does it take?
A full valet typically takes a few hours depending on the size and condition of the car — roughly 2–3 hours for a saloon, longer for a large SUV or a neglected interior. Because we're mobile, all of it happens at your home or office, so you don't wait around at a unit.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a full valet take?
Usually 2–3 hours for a typical car, and longer for larger vehicles or heavily soiled interiors. We give you a time estimate when we confirm the booking.
What's the difference between a full valet and a mini valet?
A mini valet is a quicker, lighter clean — usually a wash plus a basic vacuum and wipe-down. A full valet is a thorough interior and exterior service that takes the car back to a fresh, well-kept condition.
Does a full valet include the engine bay?
Not by default. Engine bay cleaning is an add-on because it needs extra care around electrical components. Let us know when booking if you'd like it included.
