What’s in the Protection Detail
Our In & Out Deep Clean, plus clay bar, a 6-month ceramic sealant and Glaco on the glass as standard.
What’s Included
In every Protection DetailAll of this comes as standard — no upgrades needed.
Paint left glass-smooth
Clay bar physically removes bonded contamination that chemicals alone can’t lift — so the protection bonds to clean paint.
Ceramic sealant + Glaco
A ceramic sealant over the freshly clayed paint for gloss and water beading that lasts around 6 months, and Glaco on the glass so rain runs off the windscreen.
Seats, carpets & boot
Full steam, shampoo & wet-vac extraction across all fabric surfaces, always followed by high-heat drying.
Optional Add-ons
Extra costTake the paint or the interior further. Paint enhancement costs £30 less here, because clay bar is already in the package.
Swirls polished out
A 1-stage machine polish across all paintwork, removing swirl marks, light scratches and water marks.
from +£185 clay prep included
Years, not months
Replaces the 6-month sealant with a 1, 3 or 7-year ceramic coating on the paint. Weather dependent, so we confirm your date with you first.
from +£60 upgrade from the sealantLeather that shrugs off spills
CarPro CQuartz Leather & Vinyl on the seats and steering wheel. Resists stains, jean dye and UV fading, with no added shine — just wipe clean.

Included in Every Protection Detail
Exterior
IncludedWheels, Tyres & Arches — Deep Clean
Thorough wheel and arch clean with safe products and detailing tools to lift embedded dirt and brake dust.
Pre-Wash + Snow Foam
Pre-wash followed by snow foam to loosen traffic film safely before any contact washing, reducing swirl risk.
Hand Wash
Careful hand wash with attention to trims, badges, fuel cap and door shuts, followed by a thorough rinse.
Chemical Decontamination
Dissolves bonded contaminants like tar, iron fallout and road film, ready for the clay bar.
Compound Polished Glass
Hand polishing removes embedded contamination from exterior glass, improving clarity and wet-weather visibility — and gives the Glaco a clean surface to bond to.
Full Car Drying
Precision drying leaving no water spots on paint, glass or trim.
Exterior — Protection
IncludedClay Bar Treatment
Physically removes bonded contamination left after washing and chemical decontamination. Paint feels glass-smooth and takes protection far better as a result.
6-Month Ceramic Sealant
A ceramic sealant applied over the clay-barred paint for a stronger bond, tighter water beading and a glossier finish. Lasts around 6 months.
Want years instead of months? See Paint Ceramic Coating in the add-ons below.
Glaco Glass Coating
A hydrophobic coating on the windscreen and windows. Rain beads and runs off at speed, and bugs and road grime are easier to clean.
Interior
IncludedBlow Out + Deep Vacuum
Compressed air blow-out followed by deep vacuum of seats, carpets, mats and boot, including rails, edges and tight joins.
Full Steam, Shampoo & Extraction
Full interior steam, shampoo and wet-vac extraction across all fabric surfaces — seats, mats, carpets and boot. Leather seats are deep cleaned and moisturised as part of this.
Always followed by high-heat drying for a fresh, touch-dry finish.
Touch Point Sanitisation
Steering wheel deep cleaned and moisturised, plus controls and high-touch zones sanitised for a clean, safe feel.
Crevices Detailed
Micro brushes and precision tools lift hidden dust from vents, seams and tight joins.
Streak-Free Glass (Interior)
Interior glass cleaned streak-free for crystal-clear visibility.
Plastics Dressed & Protected
Dashboard, door cards and all plastics scrubbed to a natural satin finish and dressed with an anti-static protector.
Add-ons
OptionalAdd any combination. Paint enhancement and a paint coating work together — the paint is polished first, then coated.
Engine Bay Detail+£30
Careful degreasing and detailing under the bonnet — built-up grime, grease and road dirt removed, plastics and hoses left clean and dressed.
CQuartz Leather Coatingfrom +£150
We use CarPro CQuartz Leather & Vinyl, a professional interior coating applied once the seats and steering wheel have been deep cleaned. It’s hydrophobic and oil-repellent, so spills, grease and dirt sit on the surface and wipe away with a damp cloth instead of soaking in.
- Resists jean dye transfer — the blue staining on light leather
- Stain and chemical resistant
- UV protection — helps stop the leather fading, and won’t yellow
- No added shine — the leather keeps its natural, soft feel
- Lasts up to 2 years
This is a separate product from the paint coating — the 1, 3 and 7-year options below are for the paintwork only.
The exact price for your vehicle shows in the questionnaire above.
Paint Enhancementfrom +£185
A 1-stage machine polish across all paintwork. Removes swirl marks, light scratches and water marks, bringing back depth and gloss rather than just cleaning the surface.
Best for: paint that looks dull or cobwebbed in direct sunlight.
The exact price for your vehicle shows in the questionnaire above — £30 lower than on our other services, because clay bar is already in this package. Deeper scratches may need multi-stage correction at our unit — we’ll tell you honestly on the day.
Paint Ceramic Coatingfrom +£60
Replaces the 6-month sealant included in this package with a ceramic coating on all paintwork, in a choice of 1, 3 or 7 years. Water sheets off instead of sitting on the panel, dirt struggles to bond, and washing gets much easier.
With paint enhancement, the coating locks in a freshly polished finish. Without it, the coating protects the paint exactly as it is — swirl marks included — so if the paint looks tired in sunlight, polish it first.
The price for your vehicle and coating length shows in the questionnaire above. It’s an upgrade price: the 6-month sealant is already in the package, so you only pay the step up to the coating — never twice for protection. Coatings need dry weather to cure, so the questionnaire’s button becomes Request This Booking: you send us your preferred date, we check the forecast and confirm it with you. The price you see is the price you pay.

Set Up Your Maintenance Plan
Start with a Full Valet to reset the car, then keep it that way with regular visits at up to 30% off — priced by how often we come.
Full Valet
The reset. Maintenance only works from a proper starting point — a maintenance visit keeps a clean car clean, it can’t undo months of build-up.
Every week
The car never really gets dirty. Ideal if it lives outside, sits under trees, or you just want it right all the time.
Every 2–3 weeks
Keeps on top of road film and traffic grime before it bonds to the paint. A good balance for most daily drivers.
Every 4–6 weeks
About as long as you can leave a car and still keep it right with a Mini Valet.
Less often than that?
Past six weeks a Mini Valet won’t hold a car — the interior needs more than a tidy-up. We’d rather point you at an Interior Deep Clean than sell you the wrong service cheap.
