Paintwork, Restoration and Protection.
Exterior Valet
We recommend the Exterior Valet for cars that are either exceptionally clean inside, or if the customer wishes to valet the inside themselves. But this valet is usually used for vehicles which have some problem with the paintwork. This may be spray from road marking paint or tar, or faded and dull paintwork.
Valet Features
- Your vehicle exterior is hot pressure washed.
- Wheels and tyres are cleaned and sheened.
- The windows are cleaned and
polished using our
citrus window cleaning polish. - Exterior trim is washed and sheened
- Bodywork is polished with either cut back wax or long life wax to protect your paintwork from rust and corrosion caused by the effects of harmful UV radiation, rain, salt, and oxidization.
£15 Extra from the

Engine Hand (Steam) Clean* |
£22.95 |
Steam cleaning is recommended only on certain vehicles, usually to help find an oil leak. You should check with your dealer if your car is okay to steam clean, as some vehicles have sensitive electrics in the engine compartment. If this is the case, we can hand clean the engine/compartment.
Engine Protection |
£9.95 |
A lot of cars have little or no corrosion protection under the bonnet. This is where rust and corrosion often begins, but it can be easily avoided by treating bare metal areas, clips, screws and bolt heads. Even where the battery earths to the body is almost always left corrode while while the other end is lead and greased.
We use the famous Hammerite Waxoyl which can be applied to already corroded areas, and WD-40 moisture protection oil. (All this is included as part of an extra on the Gold Valet, with Rain-X and re-grease locks and hinges).
Clear Coat System |
Clear-Coat v1K
and v2K is a paint restoration system imported from America and exclusive
to Clean Image.
It can be used either in one stage or two stage buff and gives exceptional
results for the treatment and restoration of faded, dull or scratched
paintwork. This system is so good, that we can produce results
that have a higher gloss than a factory finish.
We can restore even the most faded and dull paintwork to a 'better than new' condition. It's also great for reducing small scratches which haven't broken the base coat, such as those caused by Car Washes and hedgerows.T "Thank you Clean Image"
Please note, with these services we are following a safe formula of buffing. It will remove oxidization and reduce scratches. But if you require perfection, please see our Paint Correction Services.

topHeavy Compound |
£30.00 |
Heavy compound
has a high degree of cut which can remove heavily oxidized paintwork
and get back to the good stuff!
Only for very badly damaged paintwork, we hardly ever need to use
this, but when used in conjunction with Clear-Coat, it allows us
to perform miracles.
Acid Bath / Fallout Removal |
You might not know it, but
if you often park near a railway or some industrial areas, your paint
is probably being eaten by rail dust. Rail dust is caused by train wheels
on railway tracks, or any other process or mechanism where metal wears
against metal. A fine dust is created which has a negative charge and
is attracted to cars like a magnet, which have a positive charge. When
rainwater then hits these metal particles, they rust, creating powerful
corrosive chemical compounds which eat the binders which hold your paintwork
together. Eventually, this will eat right through the paintwork and lead
to rusty bodywork.
This Rail dust can be removed, and the corrosive compounds naturalized
in a number of ways depending on the severity of the problem.
