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.

All this plus one free £15 Extra from the list.

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. This is why we now hand clean the engine/compartment.

    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 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.TTestimony: "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.

1 stage buff	£20.00 +Valet
2 stage buff	£50.00 +Valet

Please also look at our paintwork restoration services.

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.

    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.

We are also fully equiped to remove Concrete Splatter, Paint (including road marking paint), varnish, tar, limescale and organic residue.

    Paint sealants protect your paintwork. And the paintwork protects your car's body against rust. And as the paintwork on cars is so thin these days, we strongly recommend to anybody to have their car paint sealed. A good paint sealant also helps you paintwork retain it's colour and high lustre, and it has the added bonus of making your car easy to keep clean.
A paint sealant is a cocktail of polymers, copolymers and amino functional resins which not only create a hard high gloss shell over your paintwork, but are also designed to be resistant to the corrosive effects of bird droppings, acid rain and the oxidizing compounds in industrial fallout.

We are continually testing new products as technology evolves so we can bring you the very best paint sealants. We have a range of paint sealants, all come with guarantees.
Multiglaze, is our one year sealant, Diamondbrite is our two year sealant, both are available as upgrades to our standard valets.

Our benchmark Paint Sealant is Supaguard. We give a written guarantee that this sealant will last 3 years, although it will probably last for five. If there is another single stage paint sealant which can provide the same degree of high gloss with a better long life... then we don't know about it.
