Choose the level of detail your car needs
Every job runs the same refined process; the only thing that changes is depth. You'll see clear pricing, no upsell games and no service you don't actually need. If you're not sure which tier fits, drop me a few details and I'll point you to the right one.
Deep Clean
A complete interior and exterior reset that runs from a safe two bucket wash through full decontamination (iron, tar, fallout), wheels and arches, glass, and into a deep top to bottom interior with everything vacuumed, wiped down, and leather and upholstery refreshed.

Showroom Detail
A 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.

Paint Correction
Machine polishing under LED inspection lighting lifts swirls, scratches and oxidation out of the paint, before a protective sealant locks 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 ☺️"

Keep your car looking new all year
Once I've reset the car, the maintenance membership 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.
The mobile studio that turns up properly equipped
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.
A genuine mobile studio
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.
5 star, 30+ Google reviews
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.
I come to you, anywhere
Whether it's a city centre flat or a village on the edge of the Pennines, I'll turn up at your door, and all I need is a parking space (I can usually work around any tricky access too).

I come to you
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.
The detail
My refined panel by panel process runs every stage under proper LED inspection lighting, so nothing gets glossed over and no corners get cut.
Walk it over
I 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.
The difference is in the detail

Mobile car detailing in Manchester, answered
Straight answers to the questions I get most. If your one isn't here, drop a message and I'll come back same day.
How much does mobile car detailing in Manchester cost?
A Deep Clean is £195 for a small to medium car or £225 for a large or XL (a full interior and exterior reset, around 4 hours). A Showroom Detail, my multi stage premium service, is £395 or £445. Paint Correction with sealant protection is £300 or £350 for a Single Stage and £549 or £649 for a Two Stage.
Every price is fixed by the size of the car and agreed before I arrive, with no surprises on the day, and you’ll find them all on my prices page.
How long does a full detail take?
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.
I 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.
What's the difference between a valet and a detail?
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 I consider the proper baseline.
if it’s a valet you’re after, see my mobile valeting service.
Do you need water and electricity at my address?
No, the van carries its own water and a generator for power. An outside tap and a plug socket help, and I’ll use them if available, but they’re not required. I can detail on a driveway, in a private parking space, or at a workplace, as long as I’ve got room to work around the car safely.
Will paint correction remove every scratch?
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 quoting, I’ll ask a few questions about the paint so I can recommend the right tier honestly.
What areas of Greater Manchester do you cover?
I 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. I’ll travel further for paint correction and showroom details.
How soon can I drive the car after a detail?
You can drive away the same day after a Deep Clean, Showroom Detail or Paint Correction. If it looks like rain on the day, I’ll work around the weather.
