what do they cost, im expecting to pay about £50-60 for one. going to get it done when the weather changes. i pretty good at cleaning cars but i can never get it as good as they can. i have never clayed a car or steam cleaned an engine bay or interior so i let the pro's do it.

a pro pro valet would be between 150-300 imo.

been looking on the net at local mobile valets. prices seem to be between £65 - £100. thats the whole hog at that price, looking like it did the day it came out the factory

chears sarah, i think it may be to far for him to travel though. ive got plenty of time to sort it out, no point getting the car that clean in the winter imho. its on the summer to do list

Nah your not too far from me lol, i cover the whole of the UK but what do you mean by a pro valet? for £60 in my eyes you will just get inside clean and a polish, but if you want a proper job doing then you are looking at over £100 easy, i can do it but you are looking at around £240 and thats for a proper job including Paint correction plus the inside shampooed and my travel paid, but if you dont want the inside doing then take off £50, ive already done one members car from southampton on XPF :) have a look at my web www.stevescleenz.co.uk for the sort of work i do :bounce:

Cheers Sarah for the plug :clap:
