Recommend a Valet? - holtyboy
Hi,

I'm selling a car and wanted to get it valeted first.

I get the feeling that some valets are pro's who can make your car look and feel like it's just rolled out of the showroom again, whereas others are just glorified car washes.

Can anybody recommend a national chain of valets or a local outfit in the NW Surrey area that they have used or know does a great job?

Cheers... hb.

If you've a friendly local garage, that has well prepared cars, ask them who they use.

Chances are, it'll be their own staff, simply 'cos of the reasons you state.

so a word with the boss - or the valeter & you'll be on the right road!!

Why pay?

If your selling privately, get down to HSS or the local dry-cleaners and rent a carpet cleaner. Clean all the upholstery. To clean the plastics, there are many products available, butI use a very mild solution of caustic soda (using rubber gloves) to claen off the grease and then use a wax to give is a sheen.

Obvioulsy vacuum the car first and give it a good wash outside. If your selling privately, people will want to see a well cared for car, not one valeted, as otherwise, what are you trying to hide.
