Car Valeting or Car Detailing: Which Do You Need?
The two terms get used interchangeably, but they are not the same job. Most cars only need one; some need both.

HOW IT WORKS
FAQs
What is the difference between detailing and valeting?
A valet is a thorough wash and interior clean. Detailing goes further, like correcting paint defects like swirl marks and scratches, and applying long-term protection such as ceramic coating. Most cars only need a valet; cars with visible paint damage or those due a refresh benefit from detailing.
Can I book a valet and a detailing service, like ceramic coating, together?
Yes, this is one of the most popular combinations. We’ll usually carry out paint correction first, then apply the ceramic coating as a final protective step, all in the same visit where the vehicle allows.
How often should I get my vehicle detailed?
Most experts recommend booking a comprehensive detailing appointment every 6 to 12 months. This timeframe depends heavily on your driving habits, mileage, and weather exposure. Applying a high-end protective treatment like a ceramic coating can extend this window by shielding the clear coat for years.
Can detailing remove deep scratches and swirl marks?
Yes, paint correction can eliminate light to moderate surface scratches, oxidation, and swirl marks. Detailers use varying grades of compound pastes and mechanical polishers to level the top clear coat layer. Deep scratches that penetrate completely through the paint down to the primer will require localised paint touch-ups instead.
