Washes, full valets, paintwork correction and ceramic coatings, all bookable online, at your home or your workplace. We have been doing this since 2004.

The process
From booking to handover
Booking
Choose the service, a date and where the vehicle will be. If you would prefer to talk it through, WhatsApp a photo and we will book it for you.
On the day
A MAX WAX technician arrives in a fully self-contained van: water, power and a full array of professional detailing equipment and products on board. Nothing is needed from you, and you do not need to be present.
Handover
The technician inspects the vehicle before leaving. If you are there, they will walk you round it; if not, you return to a finished car.

What customers say
Common questions
Straight answers
How far do you travel?
Sussex is home. Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire are regular routes, and the vans go into London and up to Oxfordshire and Hertfordshire on planned rounds. If you are outside the towns listed, send a postcode and we will confirm.
Do I need to provide water or electricity?
No. Every van is self-contained, with water, power and the full detailing kit on board. We need somewhere to park beside the car and nothing else.
How quickly can you come?
Often next working day for Sussex, Surrey and Hampshire; a little more notice for London and the northern counties, because those are grouped into rounds. The booking form shows the next dates we can offer.
Can I book at work rather than at home?
Yes. Office car parks and business parks are a large part of what we do. Tell us where the car will be and who to ask for.
Is there a studio if the car needs more than a mobile visit?
Yes, at Brighton City Airport in Shoreham-by-Sea. Paintwork correction, ceramic coatings and multi-day work are usually done there. Courtesy cars are available.
Book valeting or detailing, wherever you are in the South East
Pick a service, choose a day, and we will be on your drive or in your office car park. If you are not sure what the car needs, send a photo and we will tell you.
