When Valet-V arrived, on motorcycles,
I could not believe that all their equipment fitted into this box.
But it did. Including a high-pressure washer and a vacuum cleaner.
This box also contained electrical extension cables,
water hoses as well as buckets and all the cleaning products.
Before the cleaning started.
Going to the game reserve as I do on a regular basis,
there was a LOT of dust and road dirt to clean off.
Not to mention several scratches that I thought were ingrained.
I was to be proved wrong, as they managed to remove about 85% of them.
Road dirt...easily removed with a high-pressure hose
and LOTS of elbow grease.
The team arrived on time...almost to the second.
They wasted no time in getting their equipment ready and set up.
Not even time for a coffee and a chat!
As I was a first-time client, Cherry did a pre-wash inspection with me.
Much like when you rent a vehicle,
all the scratches and blemishes were noted and photographed.
The conventional cleaning method ( one of several on offer)
uses very little water, but removes more dirt that a bucket and cloth would.
The products that are used are of very high quality.
No household dishwashing liquid in sight.
The roof and bonnet get extra attention
as they are the areas that take the most punishment from the elements.
Would you believe that the stool folds up and fits in the bike box as well?
This side of the car had been very badly scratched
by branches and the like during trips to the game reserve.
By the end of the process, almost all of them were gone.
Owner and founder, Antony Greene, giving some advice
to Franck about what product to use on some hard to get rid of stains.
In all the years of having cars washed,
I have never seen this area being treated.
Like all similar surfaces on the vehicle,
it too was finished off with a silicone polish
The interior looked and smelled like a new car.
Not a speck of dust to be found anywhere...and I looked.
Having clean tires and rims is like wearing polished shoes.
It is the first part of the car that gets noticed...
And the one that can make the most impression.
The guys did a splendid job,
finishing off with a long-lasting silicone polish.
Cherry, hard at work, with the final detailing.
Before and after...
Now the badge is proud to be displayed.
Showroom quality for a 13-year-old car!
It has not been this thoroughly cleaned ever...
As Antony said to me once they were finished...
"We are not a car wash company, we offer a detailing service"
And that they do indeed.
Franck, Antony(Founder Director) and Cherry.
At the end of a successful clean and a new and VERY happy client.
