Aston Martin DB5 - Executive Valeting Detailing Services in Andoversford The Cotswolds - Kleen Machine
I had a Aston Martin DB5 in for The Prestige Detailing Package in Andoversford at Cotswold Prestige Cars in Andoversford , they had  had  it  in for a lot of work and wanted it to go back to the  client  in a nice  clean order. The car wasn't too bad just had collected a bit of dust and the  interior needed a good clean and detail and leather seats  needed a clean and  treatment. Outside there was  a lot  of dust and  wax and  compound that had  built  up over the  years, not  uncommon for a classic car of this age.

I had this  Toyota Hilux double cab Pick up in for New Car Protection Inside and  out.
Certain area`s he opted for also was seats to be protected and the Plastics and wheels to be coated  in ceramic coating to give that extra durability and  protection.
As most people know when you buy a new car the dealership will offer you some sort of paint and interior protection packages, they will tell you that it is the best package for you. In most instances it is not as high quality or as durable as the product most Detailers and professional valeters like myself are applying.
