Detailing? Valeting? What Is The Difference?

---

While car valeting and car detailing are often used interchangeably, they refer to distinct levels of vehicle care. 

Car valeting is the process of thoroughly cleaning the vehicle, both inside and out, to restore its presentable appearance.

• Exterior hand wash and rinse
   
• Interior vacuuming, including seats, carpets, and boot
   
• Glass and mirror cleaning
   
• Dashboard and surface wipe-down
   
• Wheel and tyre cleaning, including tyre dressing
  
  
  

Car detailing is a more comprehensive and meticulous process that involves the restoration, enhancement, and long-term protection of the vehicle’s surfaces.

• All valeting services as a base
   
• Paint decontamination and correction (e.g., swirl and scratch removal)
   
• Machine polishing for paint enhancement
   
• Application of high-quality Sealants, Ceramic and Graphene coatings
   
• Deep interior cleaning, including shampooing of upholstery and conditioning of leather
   
• Restoration of faded plastics, trims, and exterior finishes
   
• Optional Engine Bay Cleaning
  
   

Car valeting is ideal for maintaining a vehicle’s cleanliness and keeping it presentable for everyday use. Car detailing, on the other hand, is a more intensive process suitable for those looking to restore and protect their vehicle’s finish, often to showroom or near-showroom standards.
