Hi i had this Alfa Romeo in for the Mobile Classic Valeting Package in Tewkesbury Gloucestershire a few  weeks ago and it had not long had some paintwork ,interior was very dusty and tired,the leather needed a very good clean and treatment, Carpet mats were being replaced. As i said paint work wasn't too bad but still needed a gloss enhancement along with a lot  of over spray that needed to be  removed and compound around  plastics and  moldings here and there. 
Overall finished with nice Durable Wax for the winter months

I Had this Mini Cooper in For Ceramic Coating - Enhancement Detail and Full Detailing Package in Cheltenham At Kleen Machine Workshop.
As you can see from the before photo`s for this car it hadn`t been professionally detailed or valeted for quite some time. There was some green around the windows and door shuts, wheels pretty bad on the inside of the rims. Plus Contamination bonded and organic contamination and lots of Tar, so that also needed to be addressed.
​This is ideal Detailing Package for used or new cars To keep the car tip top.
Paint Protection
On This Mini The Client opted after the Enhancement to have the best Ceramic Paint Protection to improve the gloss and unlike wax it doesn't need topping up, just regular maintenance.For More information and details and benefits of Ceramic Coatings Click Here For Details

Because of weather conditions on the day there wasn't many opportunities for photo`s of the Wash process.
After it was washed and clayed and taken inside I started on the Enhancement to the paint .
The Enhancement Detailing package is designed for vehicles that have picked up swirl marks, fine scratches and various other imperfections through bad usage and bad washing techniques.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. ​

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.
