I live in Farnborough, Hampshire and saw a Fiesta ST driving round with this company advertised

Clean Wheels UK | Camberley's Premier Car Valeting service

Its only 2 minutes from where I live and wandered if anyone had used them and what they were like?

Well I just looked at this page and they all look to be using sponges which the detailing crowd normally frown upon...

I think you hit the nail on the head

there appears to be quite a difference in how people percieve detailing and valeting, although one ought to be a subset of the other

their are forums members about that do excellent detailing services - you may wince compared to the price of a valet, but well worth it if you are nott up to doing it for yourself

search for Baker21 and his detailing results for example

also you could check out A world for detailers...

Might just be worth keeping their number if only for the paintless dent removal service.

have a look on detailing world and find someone local who valets cars properly on there as the price maybe more but it'll be worth it as if you look at some of the work baker21 has done on here miracle worker would be almost right from the work ive seen!!!

Thanks for the kind comments guys, much appreciated..........

I haven't heard of the company mentioned but if you are interested in getting the car done and don't mind a trip on a weekend then I can easily do the work........

And the drive back to Farnborough would ruin the work you had just done on the car

Nah no way........once it's been done and protected then the dirt has nothing to stick to and just runs off after a quick jetwash and drying towel session back home........your only an hour and a half away............
