FAQs for Exterior Valeting
Can exterior car detailing get rid of scratches?
A wash and decontamination won’t permanently remove defects. Our Stage 2 sealant can lightly mask fine marring, but true removal needs a paint enhancement/correction. We can assess your paint on arrival and advise whether a correction service is suitable.
How long does an exterior valet take?
Typical times: Stage 1: 1-1.5hrs. Stage 2: 1.5- 2hrs. Actual timings may vary depending on the vehicle’s size and condition.
What is included in an exterior valet?
Our exterior valet involves a specialised 9-step process. This starts from the wheels, to a pre-wash, and finally a contact wash to ensure no scratches are caused. Our stage 2 valet goes a step further to add a chemical decontamination and a 3-month sealant
