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.

Common questions
Straight answers
Do you cover all of East Sussex?
The towns below and the villages between them. Brighton, Hove, Lewes and the coast are on daily routes; Hastings, Rye and the Weald towns are covered on planned days. Anywhere else, send a postcode.
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 around Brighton, Hove and Lewes; a little more notice towards Hastings and Rye. 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, minutes from Hove and around half an hour from Lewes. Paintwork correction, ceramic coatings and multi-day work are usually done there. Courtesy cars are available.
