So a great day Car Valeting. Down to our last week and the team are working hard and getting faster this car had upholstery cleaned as well as our safe wash system that leaves a glossy finish. Here are before and after pictures.

Spring is now here and we have started our third academy we are looking for people to have there cars spring cleaned . So what does a spring clean look like from transform car valeting .

Step 1 – Engine bays
The engine bay and its plastics will be looking dull after months of road dirt and grime. There may be even an odd leaf or two hidden away. Its time to remove any leaves, degrease the engine bay by spraying it with Autosmart’s G101 agitate stubborn spots of dirt with a soft brush and wipe off with a microfibre cloth. Finally dress it with a spray of Autosmart’s Finish

Step 2 – Door Shuts
Over the winter months dirt will be heavily ingrained in the door shuts. Remove any litter that has built up. Spray the door shuts with Autosmart’s G101 agitate stubborn dirt with a soft brush and then rinse off ensuring all cleaning residue is removed. To provide extra shine spray the door shuts with Autosmart’s Tango once clean and dry.

Step 3 – Wheels
The winter roads are cruel to our wheels as they collect road dirt and brake dust. Spray the wheels with Autosmart’s Smart Wheels or Autosmart’s Red7 then leave the product to dwell. It is a good tip to spray the front wheels first as these tend to be dirtier. Roll the car forwards or backwards half a wheel to ensure full coverage then rinse rear wheels followed by front wheels. If dirt is heavily ingrained after the initial clean, spray again with Autosmart’s Red 7, agitate with a soft brush before rinsing off again.

Step 4- Bodywork
The bodywork will be very dirty. Pre Snow foam the vehicle with Auto smarts Snow foam pro . Go round badge then rinse , wash with Autosmart’s Duet using a wash mitt and two bucket method before rinsing off.And final part of wash is a liquid wax coating applied by foam cannon . Before applying detailing spray and drying with clean super soft micro fibre towels.

This is just the outside valet will post what we do inside on another post
