Next available in Hove
Mobile valeting and detailing for Hove and the streets off the seafront.
Most of Hove is on-street parking, and our vans are built for it, carrying water, power and a full array of professional detailing equipment and products. We work right across BN3, from Brunswick and Adelaide on the seafront to Wish, Westbourne, Goldsmid, Hove Park and Hangleton. When a car needs a roof over it, Shoreham is a short drive west.

A Range Rover Sport ceramic coated. The paint is decontaminated and prepared first, so the coating bonds to a clean surface and lasts.

A BMW X1 given the full inside-and-out valet. Paintwork washed and protected, then the seats, carpets and plastics deep cleaned.
Fortnightly Maintain, BN3
A Porsche 911 seen every two weeks through the summer. Regular upkeep like this keeps a car ready to drive instead of waiting for a full valet.
