I Had this Classic Jaguar E Type in Cheltenham for The Classic Valet, it had  not been done professionally for 7 years or more so as  you can see from before  photo`s it was very grubby. The wire  chrome wheels  needed special attention as did the chrome on the outside and  that also needed cleaning with metal cleaner and sealed for the coming show season.
The interior - needed a good blow  out  to remove the dust and revitalise the carpets and blow all the dust out that you cant reach with normal vacuuming.Then the leather was fully cleaned and  treated with finest leather balm that is warmed up in the hands and applied by hand,  leaving an nice semi gloss finish and leaving the  leather nice and supple .
The Exterior Valet - The outside needed more attention too along with contamination removal and tree sap and organic contamination. The Paint needed gloss enhancement and finished with a couple of coats of durable  wax.

Lotus Elise - Gloss Enhancement Workshop Detail Package - Cheltenham - Gloucestershire

I Had This Classic British sports car Lotus Elise in over the weekend for a Gloss Enhancement Detail and Protection Package at Kleen Machine. Ideally to improve the gloss and remove  some  minor swirls. Also get  the  wheels looking better and  they also needed buffing  over and  some  wheel sealant. The Guy has  owned  it for a few years and its  normally garaged  but  never had it professionally valeted  or  detailed.
The Enhancement Detail
This  Service is  ideal if  you wan that extra gloss out  of  your  classic or  sports  car also make it  a lot  easier to clean with my durable paint protection sealant and  wax. 
The Enhancement Detailing package is designed for vehicles that have picked up swirl marks, fine scratches and various other imperfections through bad washing and usage.  As a result of these the paintwork is left looking dull and hazy.  Our Light Paintwork Correction will remove light swirl marks and hazing via a single stage machine polish restoring a glossy, swirl free paintwork finish. ​

Prices

This service starts from £250,00 Each valet/Detail is individual due to the size and condition of the vehicle and an exact price will be given upon inspection of the vehicle and a price will be agreed before we start the valet on your vehicle.
