Our multi stage premium detail goes deeper on every front: a more thorough exterior process, a finer interior finish, and the ideal prep for a new car, with the dealer wax stripped, the paint enhanced and every surface set up for day one.

Machine polishing under LED inspection lighting lifts swirls, scratches and oxidation out of the paint, before a ceramic protective coating seals everything in for lasting gloss and easier maintenance. Available in single and two stage tiers.

"I booked Dan back in January (sorry for the late review, Dan!) to give my car a full makeover: deep clean, ceramic coating, and machine polish. I’ve owned the car for three years and, honestly, I’d seriously neglected it. I wasn’t expecting miracles… but Dan delivered one.The exterior is now flawless — streak free, glassy smooth, and shining like a mirror. The interior looks and smells brand new. He worked through freezing temperatures, never rushed, never cut corners, and treated the job with absolute precision and pride.Dan is professional, reliable, and a complete perfectionist. If you want your car transformed, not just cleaned, he’s the one you book."
"Dan arrived promptly and was nothing short of superb. The car's battery had died which meant he had to work on the vehicle, Inside and out on a very steep slope. He cracked on without a single complaint. The inside was coated on mould having been stood for several months, Dan did a fantastic job and left it with a fresh new car smell. The paintwork was well looked after and again looks brand new. Overall, you get what you pay for. This is a proper valet, not a quick in and out for an hour. Dan was at my property for the whole day and his attention to detail was excellent, not leaving until he was happy. Would highly recommend him and his services."
"Detail Valets provided me with an A star service! From start to finish. So easy to book online for a day and time to suit. Attended on time took to work immediately; didn’t need anything and worked an absolute magic clean inside and outside of my car! The outside was sparkling and whilst I do have a large dog that I transport every day the inside was spotless afterwards! Couldn’t be happier with the service and would not hesitate to use Detail Valets again! Thank you ☺️"

Once we've reset the car, our maintenance plan keeps it on point season after season, with lighter visits scheduled around your driving so you never have to start from a deep clean again.
I'm Dan, and I've run Detail Valets since 2018, after years of obsessing over my own cars. I've since detailed everything from daily Fiestas caked in school run grime to Porsche 911s that hadn't seen a proper wash in years, and every one gets the same process and the same standard. Most mobile detailers turn up with a pressure washer, a bucket and good intentions. I turn up with everything a detailing unit has, just parked on your driveway instead.
I turn up with water on board, a generator, dual action machine polishers, paint depth gauges and LED inspection lighting on every visit, so every car gets the full kit rather than whatever fits in the boot.
Seven years and hundreds of cars later, the reviews keep pointing to the same three things: attention to detail, no rushing, and a fair price.
Whether it's a city centre flat or a village on the edge of the Pennines, we'll turn up at your door, and all we need is a parking space (we can usually work around any tricky access too).
Tell us your car, its condition and the service you're after, and we'll send a no obligation quote back, usually within a few hours.
The mobile studio arrives at your home or workplace on a date that suits, fully self contained and on time so you don't have to be anywhere or arrange anything.
Our refined panel by panel process runs every stage under proper LED inspection lighting, so nothing gets glossed over and no corners get cut.
We finish with a walkaround under LED light, and the job's only done once you've seen the car up close and you're happy with what's there.

BeforeAfterFrom the city centre to the villages on the edge of the Pennines. If you're nearby and not on the list, just ask. Chances are we already cover it.

Detail Valets pricing starts at £249 for a Deep Clean (full interior and exterior reset, around 4 hours). Showroom Detail, our multi-stage premium service, starts at £499. Paint Correction with ceramic protection runs from £449 for single stage up to £799 for a two stage correction on larger or more neglected cars.
Final price depends on size, condition and what the paintwork needs. You get a fixed quote up front, no surprises on the day.
Roughly: Deep Clean around 4 hours, Showroom Detail 7 to 8 hours, Paint Correction 4 to 9 hours depending on whether it’s single or two stage. All times include set up and a final walk around.
We work to a finish standard rather than a clock, so if a car needs an extra half hour to come out right, it gets it.
A valet is a surface clean. Get the dirt off, hoover the interior, dress the tyres, you’re out the door in 60 to 90 minutes. A detail goes deeper: full paint decontamination (iron and tar removal), wheel arches and shuts, machine work on the paint where needed, interior taken back panel by panel.
A Detail Valets Deep Clean is closer to what most studios call a ‘full detail’ elsewhere. It’s just what we consider the proper baseline.

No, the van carries its own water and a generator for power. An outside tap and a plug socket help, and we’ll use them if available, but they’re not required. We can detail on a driveway, in a private parking space, or at a workplace, as long as we’ve got room to work around the car safely.
Most of them. Single stage correction takes around 60 to 70% of light swirls and finer marks out, and two stage pushes that to 85 to 95% on most paint. Anything deep enough to catch your fingernail has gone through the clear coat, which is a touch up or respray job rather than polishing.
Before we quote, we’ll usually want a photo or two of the paint so we can recommend the right tier honestly.
We cover Rochdale, Ashton-under-Lyne, Oldham, Stalybridge, Tameside, Bury, Saddleworth, Stockport, Hyde, Sale, Mossley, Chadderton, Failsworth, Dukinfield, Bredbury, Urmston, Shaw, Wilmslow, and most points in between.
If you’re on the edge of Greater Manchester and unsure, just ask. We’ll travel further for paint correction and showroom details.
After a Deep Clean or Showroom Detail you can drive away the same day. After Paint Correction with ceramic based protection, we recommend keeping the car dry for around 4 hours so the protection has time to cure, and we’ll work around the weather on the day if it looks like rain.
