Overview
What this service is, and who it's for
The Deep Clean Package is aimed at cars that have moved beyond what a normal valet can rescue: tide lines in the paint, ground-in carpet stains, seat fabric that's flat and dull, brake dust bonded to the wheels. It's the stage before Premium, everything is chemically decontaminated and mechanically steam-cleaned, then given a solid layer of protection to hold the finish.
It suits second-hand purchases needing a proper first clean, family cars that have carried school runs and dog walks for a season, work vehicles between big jobs, and any car being prepared for sale where the owner needs it to present significantly better without stepping up to a full paint correction.
You get a fully mobile visit, we arrive with everything self-contained, work through a set stage sequence, and hand the car back inspected in daylight.
What happens if you leave it
The real cost of skipping a proper detail
Neglect compounds
Interior stains set harder with every heat cycle in a parked car; bonded fallout etches deeper with every rainfall. Waiting costs money, a Deep Clean now is cheaper than paint correction later.
Wrong chemistry, worse damage
Aggressive supermarket cleaners strip protection, dull trim and bleach fabric. Our stage sequence uses matched pH chemistry so the car is cleaner and still structurally intact at the end.
Interior smells don't ventilate away
Odours live in the fibres, not the air. Steam cleaning at high temperature lifts them at source; air fresheners only mask the problem.
Buyers notice cleanliness before mileage
A used-car buyer decides within seconds. A vehicle presenting as looked-after typically sells faster and closer to asking than an identical, unwashed one.
Our Process
A clear, staged system, nothing skipped
- 01
Booking & Deposit
Message or call for a same-day quote. A 20% deposit secures your slot; the balance is settled on completion. We reply inside 24 hours, Monday to Saturday.
- 02
Arrival & Pre-Inspection
We arrive fully self-contained: water, power, machinery and lighting. Before a drop of foam touches the paint we walk the vehicle with you and note existing defects, trim condition, wheel finish and interior wear.
- 03
Safe, Staged Cleaning
Every step is contact-safe and pH-appropriate. Wheels and arches are always handled first with dedicated tools, then the paint is decontaminated before any wash mitt touches it.
- 04
Protection & Dressing
Once cleaned, the surfaces we've agreed are sealed, dressed and finished: paint, wheels, glass, tyres and interior textiles, so the work lasts, not just looks good on the driveway.
- 05
Handover & Guarantee
You inspect the vehicle with us in daylight. Every job is backed by our workmanship, if anything's missed, we come back and put it right.
Benefits
What you actually get for the money
Chemical decontamination
Iron and tar removers lift bonded contamination without rubbing it into the paint.
Steam-cleaned interior
Seats, carpets and mats treated with heat plus agitation, not just a spray-and-wipe.
Wheels, barrels & arches
The dirtiest area of any car handled first, with dedicated tools kept off the paintwork.
Protection sealant applied
Paint, glass and wheels sealed at the end so the clean lasts weeks, not days.
Tyres dressed (gloss or satin)
Your choice of finish, applied to lock out weathering and keep sidewalls looking sharp.
Compressor-lifted debris
Air compressor blows trapped grit out of vents, stitching and door shuts before it's vacuumed.

The Detail
Materials, methods and how we actually work
Read this section if you want to know exactly what we use, how we use it, and why. It's the same briefing we give clients at the quote stage.
What the Deep Clean actually removes
Exterior: bonded brake dust, tar spots, iron fallout, road film, dead insects, sap residue, hard water spotting and the greasy layer that builds under trim. The wash stages use a citrus and snow foam pre-wash, then a full contact-safe wash, then decontamination, three separate passes before drying.
Interior: ground-in carpet dirt, footwell salt lines, sticky child debris, dog hair woven into fabric, dust in vents, and the film that builds on the inside of the windscreen. The steam cleaner runs at temperature to lift stains rather than smear them, and every mat and carpet is disinfected before being reinstalled.
When Deep Clean is the right call over Premium
Choose Deep Clean when the car has been neglected and needs recovering, the priority is removing what's there rather than adding the longest-lasting protection. Choose Premium when the car is in reasonable condition and you want maximum protection and full cabin disinfection.
Many clients start with a Deep Clean to reset the vehicle, then move onto Premium or a Maintenance schedule from that point. We'll tell you honestly at the quote stage which route saves you money.
How this works for used-car preparation
For private sellers, the Deep Clean is the single highest-return prep step before photographing. Clean paint photographs sharper, decontaminated wheels look years newer, and a fresh interior removes the buyer's mental discount for 'lived-in'. For traders, we're happy to work through multiple vehicles at your site by arrangement.
FAQs
Straight answers, before you book
How much does the Deep Clean cost?+
From £120. Very heavily soiled interiors (smoke residue, pet mess, building debris) may take an extra stage which is quoted before booking.
How long will you be on my driveway?+
Up to three hours. That includes drying and protection time; we don't leave a wet car behind.
Will you get all the stains out?+
Most, yes, coffee, food, general soiling, mud, salt. Some ink, dye transfer and old bleach marks are permanent; we'll tell you what to expect before starting, not after.
Do I need to move the car indoors?+
No. We work in almost all weather; heavy rain is the only thing that stops us, and we'll reschedule at no cost.
Is a Deep Clean enough for a coating job later?+
A Deep Clean is the wash and decontamination stage. Machine paint correction is separate; we quote that after inspecting the paint in daylight.
Can I combine this with the Interior Deep Clean?+
The Deep Clean Package already includes steam-clean and shampoo. The standalone Interior Deep Clean is for clients who only want interior work.
Do you cover Merthyr, Pontypridd and Cardiff?+
Yes, regular mobile slots across all major South Wales towns. Ask when booking and we'll confirm the next available date for your area.
What's the guarantee?+
Workmanship-guaranteed, if we miss anything, we come back. The 20% booking deposit protects your slot and comes off the final invoice.
