01 — The Service What's included

Presentation standard. Inside, outside, inspection-ready.

A pre-sale valet pays for itself. Presentation-condition cars consistently sell faster and for more — and lease returns without a proper clean routinely attract penalty charges that cost more than the valet. We do it right.

  • Seat & carpet shampoo — hot-water extraction
  • Dashboard, console & trim wiped, all surfaces
  • Door cards, sills, vents, cup holders detailed
  • Leather conditioning where applicable
  • Headlining spot-cleaned
  • Interior glass polished — streak-free
  • Pre-rinse & snow foam pre-wash

02 — The visit How it works

From condition report to presentation standard.

We start with an honest walk-around so you know exactly what we're working with — and what the valet will and won't fix. No surprises on either side.

i

Condition walk-around ~10 min

We document the starting condition together — existing damage, staining, any areas needing special attention. You get an honest assessment of what the valet will achieve.

ii

Full exterior detail ~90 min

Pre-rinse, two-bucket wash, clay bar decontamination, alloy cleaning, microfibre dry, hand-applied carnauba wax, tyre dressing and exterior glass polish.

iii

Interior deep clean ~90 min

Full vacuum, seat and carpet shampoo with hot-water extraction, wipe-down of every surface, leather conditioning, headlining spot-cleaned, interior glass polished.

iv

Presentation check & pay ~10 min

Final walk-around together to the same standard a buyer or lease inspector would apply. We won't hand it back until it's right. Pay by card, no deposit taken.

Sold my car for £800 more than the first offer purely because of the presentation. The pre-sale valet is the best ROI I've ever had on a service.

Returning a 3-year lease — the inspection charge I was expecting never arrived. The valet covered everything the lease company was looking for.

Outstanding result. The team flagged a scratch I'd missed and gave me the option to treat it. Transparent, professional and worth every penny.

05 — FAQ Common questions

Everything we get asked before a first booking.

Can't find your answer? Call 0800 208 8885 — we usually pick up within an hour during opening hours.

How much can a pre-sale valet increase the sale price?
Typically £200–£1,000 depending on the vehicle value and starting condition. Buyers consistently pay more for well-presented cars — and the photos alone generate more enquiries.
Can a pre-sale valet avoid lease return charges?
Yes — lease return inspectors look for fair wear and tear. Dirty interiors, stained carpets and unclean windows often attract charges that a valet would have prevented. Our pre-sale valet is designed to meet BVRLA fair wear and tear standards.
Can I add a machine polish for swirl marks?
Yes — add our single-stage machine polish at booking. It removes light swirls and oxidation and makes a significant difference to paintwork presentation on used cars.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking 2–3 days before the sale or return date to allow the interior to fully dry and for any issues to be addressed. Same-week bookings are usually available.
Do you need water or electricity from me?
No. Our vans are fully self-contained. We work wherever the car is — driveway, on-street, dealer forecourt.
What if there's pet hair or heavy odour?
Mention it at booking. We can add specialist pet hair removal or ozone odour treatment to the same visit.
