A Car Cleaning Guide to a Full Valet - Step by Step Tutorial!
I show you a beginners guide to the Full Valet. I take you through the step by step process to getting a clean car. We take a look at the difference between Detailing & Car Valeting and why they both have their place in the industry.
📰 A Little Blog to follow up from this video:
This car did not need an exhaust polish. In most cases like the engine bay an enhancement would be a good idea however discussing with the customer first is always best as they may want it fully polished so take the extra time during the phone call to work out how to make the most money from the valet.
Also When I mentioned getting the brushes out for the Exterior I meant using the super soft brushes as featured in my exterior detailing videos.

That was great. You're so lucky to still have a Nan. Look after her mate.
I got both my nans still thank goodness 🙏
@@epicautomotivedetailingno need to brag haha
I'm just an regular car owner and have had my new car a couple of months now and have been trying to find a decent video to help me learn some professional tricks when washing it and looking after the paintwork etc. This is by far the best video if found, and I don't feel so scared about using a polish/ glaze. 👍👍👍
Thank you very much for your kind words 🙏. Glazes are totally safe and really do enhance the paint. Just remember to give the bottle a very good shake before each use
@@epicautomotivedetailing how do you store your pressure washer hose to stop them tangling
Every thing is EPIC with this video son. A very useful guide for all and up coming entrepreneurs who are thinking about giving this career ago. Plus a nice guide to helping those weekend warriors who are looking how to make their pride and joy stand out. Well done. Dad
Cheers Dad. Hopefully it makes life easier for people
Nice to see a dad supporting a son
Here for this one dad! What a lovely touch to comment such a supportive message on your sons work, which was excellent, really excited to get back into cleaning and detailing my own car again. Used to love spending hours at it before I had kids!
You got my like as soon as you said you were doing your nans car bud. You're lucky to have her and she's lucky to have such a sweetheart for a grandson to have treated her car nicely. This had good feel vibes even if it was an informative video
Thank you. She was happy. She can't do it herself and she's not a fan of the hand car washes
@@epicautomotivedetailing agreed. I don't understand why anyone is a fan of car washes. Expensive and scratch yards tbh. Rather have a dirty car until I have the time to do it myself properly. Even a lazy prewash and blast down with a pressure washer is better than a hand wash.
Didn't know there was a difference between detailing and valeting. Thanks for the video. I'm a bus driver here in the UK and we have to clean our busses after every day. (company image I think) so I got obsessed with our own cars and I regularly clean our cars lol
Yeah it became two different things to help customers identify the types of services and it makes our lives easier when pricing jobs
Making her happy was icing on the cake. Beautiful.
Thank you
So nice to see a down to earth and realistic guide to a full valet. Keep up the great videos!
Thank you very much
Thank you for the video Dave. Very sound advice you gave there. As you rightly said, most car owners don't want paint correction etc they just want their car to look its best without it taking an age or costing a fortune. Credit to you in giving your nan's car a full works valet for free. The look on your nan's face plus her glowing praise is worth more than any cash. Keep up the good work mate 👍.
Thanks Karl, she was genuinely happy, I didn't have to pay her 😅. I don't mind cleaning cars for free these days as it all goes on the channel and everyone wins
That was one of the most thorough explanations of what it actually means to detail a car I’ve ever heard-and trust me-I’m a HUGE enthusiast and at home detailer myself-you would be GREAT at being an instructor, as knowledgeable and logical as you are-❤
Thanks so much for your kind words 🙏
What a well made video. The explanations are well articulated and presented as such. I only watched this for interest to look after our brand new van but now inspired to buy product and give it a go. Many thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Thank you so much. I know I my not always be right in the eyes of Detailers but I feel its always best to share what i personally experienced after 16+ years of being in the industry and its always done me proud
Great video as always Dave always look forward to new ones coming out. Great tips. Im only a weekend warrior and apply all your advice when cleaning mine and the Mrs car.
Thank you very much 🙏
Brilliant video as always Dave, the look on your grans face, well says it all. I'm glad you gave the diablo an outing, my first paste wax since I got into detailing and still my fave by far too. I do my brother's Mercedes ml on occasion but he gives me money towards my time. You keep going from strength to strength
Thanks Phil. Yeah she was well happy. Probably because it was free 😅. Appreciate the kind words
Really enjoy your videos Love your honesty and advice I love car cleaning and your tips make things that little bit easier. Look forward to the next video:)
Thanks Jonathon sorry for late replies. Still catching up now
What a great video. Real back to basics that we can sometimes forget 👍
Thanks Steve
Another great video Dave, so many different products on the market nowadays it’s good to see some of the better ones giving great results 😊
Cheers Andy. I'll be featuring more brands soon as it will help grow the channel
Great update all very valid points made Keep up the great work The unit looks class
Thanks Ian sorry for late reply
Hello Dave, super video. Nanlooked super happy with her car. I do love the way you keep your content honest,and even call out the pretentious detailers. Top stuff brother. Ps I've been enjoying Petes gardening videos too, he's a bloke Peace and love brother
Thanks Kevin. Yeah I'm getting fed up with the ones who think they are superior for washing a car. I say do it how you want to do it
Thanks for that video. Entering one of our cars for a classic show tomorrow. Done zero preparation (was working away arrived today, long story). Plenty of useful good tips here so I can wake up and spend 1.5 hrs tomorrow morning making it look half decent.
Great Video Dave with Practical Real World Advice..Keep up the great work...Cheers from Australia.
Thanks so much!
Thank you, I just started a business here and your videos have been great help!
Thanks Joshwa appreciate it
Fab video Dave , I have learned so much just by watching you and for that I thank you, top top man 👍
Cheers William. Really appreciate the comment
Fantastic work. Thankyou for sharing your knowledge and experience. Great help. 👌🏻
Thank you 🙏
Great vid pal, valeting my old golf estate for the first time today and will follow this vid all the way. Nice one.
Thanks mate
I loved how happy your nan was, that was the best ending to any content. All the best.
Cheers Lee. She's always angry at traffic most of the time
@@epicautomotivedetailing aren't we all 🤣
Nice one Dave, good to see your unit all done too, keep up the great work🎉🎉🎉
Thanks mate it's still unfinished 😅. So much to go yet but will get back to it soon
@@epicautomotivedetailing if that’s the case then what we can see in film it looks good
@@epicautomotivedetailing Hello Sir, please can you share your mobile number with me or can you refer me to stores/companies where I can buy details products and equipment and also ship international
you always do fantastic videos with good advice and best way to do the jobs right i have pick up some good advice and best way to go about valeting as i am just getting back to my valeting as an ex valter it has been a long time and how things have changed products etc glad your gran was very happy put a smile on my face seeing gran happy. the only job i have doubts about is engine on a ford fiesta Dads car needs a clean. 🥶
Really informative Dave, and good to see your new premises looking so great. I have a small number of people I’ll give a free valet to and they are always very appreciative.
That's great I always clean the family cars for free
Thanks for sharing, really good information given and this will help so many out, well done 👍
Cheers mate, really appreciate it
Brilliant video Dave and I agree with you about most drivers’ perception of a ‘valeted’ car…. most of them would struggle to even see or appreciate the extra steps which take you on to a ‘detail’. I’d leave detailing for customers who understand it and more importantly are willing to pay for and enjoy that next level of treatment. I’ve done a few 8-hour heavy jobs for friends and have felt disappointed when they didn’t even notice some of the detailed enhancements I’d carried out 😢
Thanks Steve, yeah customer expectations are so important. They really have to understand what's being asked of you when you detail a car
Fantastic video as always Dave
Thanks Eamon thats very kind of you to say
Fantastic tips and advice. Thank you.
Had a double-take on the private number plate for a moment Dave, I thought AVA had slipped a creative product placement in 😂 (well I guess they kinda did). Brilliant video as always. You do such a great job of explaining the realities whilst remaining honest, credible and professional. Top work 👌🏻
I never really noticed lol. I actually like working on the cheap cars because they have a personality and making something cheap look nice it's more rewarding for me
Just catching up Dave really interesting video once again I love your enthusiasm and passion for cleaning the cars and I try to do the same on my clients cars.
Thank you Ricky
Great vid, you nan was so happy with the result.💯
thanks Paul she was well happy
Great job there Dave with great info.
Thanks very much mate
U amaze me everything I watch your videos dave my buisines have grown tenfold with some of ypur tips and tricks ❤❤❤
I like that voice-over you use on your videos.
Thanks Jonathan that's awesome to hear. Well done on your business 💪
Super helpful video can't wait to get some products and give my car a good valet!
Thank you. I honestly recommend infinity wax
A epic video buddy had my first car the other day be of all your help.ur such a Inspiration to me buddy
Thanks Darren
Fantastic video, so helpful and informative. I've only just started out doing car valeting, but i want to be getting onto the detailing side of it. I just really enjoy cleaning, i find it therapeutic. Plus i have terrible OCD. 😂😂
Hope you get on well with it. Car valeting can be great fun and a good income. The therapeutic part soon fades when you have stressful clients lol
Another great informative video dave, it’s nice to go back to basics as nowadays there’s so many different techniques and people prefer their own methods over what someone else would prefer? Would you be able to do a video on how to clean headlining safely ? Cant wait for the next video 👍.
Hello Ian, yes 100% I cover it in my interior detailing video but I think I need to explore a few more new methods but definitely want to make a dedicated video
You're a smart fella! Nan's car looked fab 👍
Thank you
Fantastic video, valuable info cheers mate
Thank you
Great video keep up the good work 👌🏽
Thank you
Love your channel! Would love to see you do a video on how to clean and protect a grotty soft top! I have a convertible fiat 500 and I’m so confused by all the different methods and products out there. Cheers Sandra - New Zealand
Nice one Dave great advice there top man the car looked great.
Thank you for your kind words 🙏
Looks a fantastic set up Dave fair play to ya
Cheers Steve it's bit rough around the edges but getting there
Hi Dave love the video I tried that Dark Glaze from Infinity Wax and I love it my 10 yr old Evoque looks amazing!
Yeah it's so good. I mean it won't last forever but then again there's no such thing as a clean car 24/7 if it's in daily use
True my clients will love this as I run a Weekend Valet Business what is an average price for a full wax using say this stuff?
I would say it's a good £20 extra however you can use it with machine polisher on slow speed and it works incredibly well
Another absolute quality video, yet again. I'd also happily pay you to valet or detail my wife's new car!
Thanks Jon 😁
Great video. So smooth in front of the camera.
Thanks mate
Another fantastic and informative video Dave And you should do Nans car every week now mate
Lol I don't even get to clean my own car 🚗
Yep i was just thinking the same clean all the top surfaces and all the fluid tanks and lids and any cables with oil. I learnt a secret chemical or 2 when working doing classic mercs
Brilliant 👍
Thanks Andy
Good lad made your nan well happy. Thats priceless.
Thank you
Hello Dave, great work on the Fiat Punto,it's surprising how a car looks after a detail or a valet,your Nan was over the moon with her car.
Thanks Steven, I actually prefer cleaning the cheap old cars. It's a bit more rewarding but then again this was fairly clean anyway
First class advice Dave, do you ever get feed back from the valeting community good or bad on your videos, keep up the great work
Thanks Nigel. Mostly good feedback but I get 4-5 nasty messages on a daily basis. It just flies over my head now
this is a game changer for the AVA which you might want to look at
Yeah i think they have made a brilliant machine
Fantastic video! Did you use clay bar before the glaze? And if not, is there any advantage for doing so or is it not recommended at all? Thanks!
I find gravity helps when brushing , agirating mats, either hang then rotate them aftwr each brushing, or brush them whilst they are upside down. You can also use sunshine to remove many stains on light coloured materials. Lily brushes are also good for agitation...
Hello Dave from Australia 🙃 Good video mate and how's life treating you? All looks great in your new unit a very tidy professional layout for customers to see.
Thanks mate. I've put a home gym in it now and a dart board so it's more of a man cave 😄
@@epicautomotivedetailing Can't go wrong with a man cave😀
@@mag1vl tax deductible too 😂
@@epicautomotivedetailing Ah ha even better🤑
Another quality video Dave 👌 When cleaning the engine bay on a new car are the electrics more protected as want to keep it clean but afraid of getting the electrics wet & knackering the car. Cheers 👍
Thank you, every car is different so its hard to define one method that fits all but im exploring a new method of using a tornador for an engine bay clean soon so that could be interesting
@Epic Automotive Detailing Looking forward to it 👍
Out of interest Dave, how much would you have charged for that service if it were a paying customer? Love your vids btw, very clear and informative, one of my goto channel’s 👍
Great video as always, do you offer a detailing service to the public if so how do i go about getting in touch, 😊
Thank Trevor. Sorry I can't take any more clients on due to other commitments 🙏
Alright Dave recently subscribed love your videos and content do you not use jizer for heavily greased door shuts and engine grease .
Thanks so much. I mainly use citrus pre wash for greasy door shuts
Great vid. Grandma’s lucky to have u 😅 What’s the best microfibre towel to use?
I use a variety. Twisted loop are my current go to towels. They are practically the same in terms of quality
Help needed! I've bought my own kit so I can start washing my car and my parents car at home, because I'm sick of finding scratches and mad swirl marks around the bodywork. After washing both cars I've noticed chips on the front of the bonnets (there were a some dotted around the rest of the car but more prevalent on the bonnet). I'm wondering if this is to do with washing the car from too close? I did try to keep a good distance at all times. The only other thing I can think of is we have recently washed the drive and there are loose stones around. Could it have been the stones being picked up by the water?
It's most probably just stone chips from the road. You have to hold pressure washer in paint for a long time to remove the paint
100% correct as usual. It's also known as Detailing here in Australia. You have a basic pack and a "full" detail which is everything. Various options are very broad from business to business. Cheers.
Thanks Dave. How do you cope in the heat?
I work for a company in the UK called "SVS" (specialist valeting services), we are contracted to the car dealerships and wow, i can't say how much i agree with this video, im just a "valeter", but what these car folks don't understand, each car needs a different cleaning method and each car is in a different condition... it's so frustrating because dealerships think a full valet can be done in 1 or 2 hours (2 hours if absolutely disgusting)... but just the start of this video explains, clay barring, polishing, engine bay cleaning, fall out, wheel cleaner, steam cleaning carpets etc... and this is why a lot of car valeters quit their jobs, as they are under appreciated. i too have thought so many times about quitting, but what else is out there where i travel the uk... almost nothing.
Mate I feel your pain. Dealership's haven't got a clue about what's involved
@@epicautomotivedetailing im not gonna lie, im not the best valeter in the world either, but i do take high pride in my job, i buy my own cloths spraybottles, shampoo, wash mits etc from auto glym, auto smart, traflagur, maguires, etc etc... so ye, i take pride in my job, and to be honest, i am pretty good, but as i said, ive come across people who are amazing at what they do, like in your videos... but heres another thing, im supposed to use "what is on site" and this is the reason i say i buy some of my own stuff, i turn up and ask for a "clean window cloth", i look at it, its dirty, i smell it, i can smell the tar and glue remover, or the polish, and im like, hey mate, isnt this your window cloth, why does it smell like tar and glue... oh ye well we just use it, then the car has a shit finish.... but i constantly try and watch valeting channels, tino's car care from london for example, now yourself, among plenty of others, because i do want to be one of the top valeters, i want to be up there, i want to be the best i can be. so in this video i just watched, i appreciate every detail you went into, everything you just mentioned, i appreciate it, as i have now discovered a new exterior trim shine, the turtle wax one :) however, well done on the videos, i can say as a valeter with some experience, hands down you did a fantastic job!
Legend u r dave 💪😎👍
Thank you my friend
Many thanks for this video. I am no detailer just a guy who wants to have a clean car. Have you done a video to show a complete interior and exterior car clean for a non professional guy who cleans his car once every few weeks and does have loads of different products ? Cheers
Thanks mate. If you go to the channel playlist I have a whole list of how to videos full of everything you need 🙏
Cracking video! So can I check - tar remover doesn’t need to be washed off? You just wipe of with a towel?
There are a few ways of removing tar but beginners may spend too much time faffing during the wash process in the direct sunlight for example so it could be overwhelming for them. By using this method after its dried you can still achieve removal of the tar by being careful and working one step at a time so its actually easier
Dave could you tell me how long it took with filming the whole process? Great job as always mate 👍👍👍👍👍
Hello it took me a day. Thankfully the studio helps me with getting better sound which is the biggest problem for filming
Which sprayer are you using to apply the citrus pre wash.
Hi is using drying aid (ceramic spray) when drying is a must to achieve screatch free drying? Btw in using twisted loopd drying towel
It's not a must but it can help ever so slightly.
My freind and i started a detailing buisness last year and we had to stop because it got cold but when we go back i noticed it takes us forever to clean a car not to mention we dont have proper tools any advice and how much do you normally charge to detaili a vehicle on average
Should I charge for interior cleaning separately or make on price for the exterior combined? Or one price for the interior and one price for the exterior?
You wax after using a glaze?
Hopefully I will be getting a Peugeot 408 but it has rather large black plastic bumper what should I use to keep it looking good.
I use infinity wax plastic coat
People could think I am mad...but...the fiat punto is a wonderful car.
Nothing mad about it. It actually looks quite nice, good shape this one
Have you ever tired auto smart tardis , that’s always been my go to tar remover and it’s works fantastic, but even more importantly it’s by far the cheapest tar remover , it may have rose in price like everything else but bought 5 litres from my auto smart rep for £19 couple years ago
Wax, polish or glaze to a personal car, I'm going to wash every 2-4 weeks?
Any advice on a good hard/Water spot remover? Cheers
Hello g techniq water spot remover is excellent
@@epicautomotivedetailing appreciated 👍
My favorite part of the video was her joy in seeing her car restored to like new condition.
Thanks mate she was well happy
ummm im divided on this one lol Im not a pro, but am interested in starting something myself, and I dont think i would be offering this as a service. Perhaps you can tell me how many cars you would do this for in 1 day and what returns it would yield? I would be more interested in detailing than valet, but i think a balance of both would be ideal. But hand touching a car like that for probably not much money ... its not worth it is it? What about using spray on protections that are done wet.. like Koch Chemie Pw ProtectorWax... or a cheaper spray wax? Be far more efficient with time wouldnt it and give the same time of protection most likely.. I mean you wouldnt use a very expensive wax for this job, so again i would say use a product in a lance or spray it on and wipe off to save time. Valet people arent car nuts....are they ? If someone knows about detailing, they tend to know about or care about cars, and therefore you would use a different method of care and products... its not just about correction? Clay mits/towels are great for maintenance washes and leave no marring... in my experience anyway, so a correction isnt something to worry about with those. And If i were to use a clay bar for a valet, then i just wouldnt risk it.. and it would be a detailing job.. period. Maybe this is where myself as a weekend warrior and not a pro comes in... because my conscience is about my own cars and friends cars.. not about running a business and making profits. Great vid anyway... and I like your openness about what you do and how you want to offer the advice!
The strategy of marketing that you applied towards the end of the video, getting the customers reaction.
Customer? That's my Nan 😂
can you put this wax on ppf ? or you dont recommend it ?
100% yes you can apply this wax on PPF ✅
@@epicautomotivedetailing thanks and have a nice day 💪
@@PiotrKent thank you
good video, bra.
Thanks 🙏
hello im willing to learn do you give a physical courses please?
Thinking about training days
got to be honest, I completely struggle with the concept of doing a s little as possible for as much money as possible. my packages are OTT in what they include and that's where I struggle to sell them as they are priced accordingly. I cant bring myself to be like a typical valeter
It's all worth it making your nana blown away with the results ...
Yeah she was well happy
Love the videos sir, congratulations great content again, thanks for anything you do for the industry i admire you. At the clay bar issue, personally speaking, i always clay the car ( combined with iron decon) independent if i polish or no after. I am aware for any marring, BUT, the paint is really clean and completely smooth after the clay bar service, witch a customer can feal immediately. If any marring happen usually means that the paint was heavily contaminated and probably already swirled up. But even in this scenario when i apply a common wax with a simple DA and a simple wax ( red/black) application pad,usually remove any potential marring on the spot. That is my point of view... Again congratulations sir, keep up. My kind regards
Nice one thanks for the comment. Really appreciate it. I just hope beginners just watch this and not feel like they have to invest heavily on a polisher. That all comes in time
@@epicautomotivedetailing keep up sir.
Valeting is a good way to make big money if you do it right. 90% of customers on the roads today just want a nice clean car, not all the fancy ceramic coatings and extra's that the higher end car owners want. Most people have a normal (affordable) car that the masses drive and just want to keep it clean and shiny which does increase the resale value by a lot because you have kept your vehicle valeted for it's entire life and it's clean and in good condition when (or if) you sell the vehicle. Of course this only works if the customer is a regular and truly keeps their vehicle clean for it's entire life. Even if you did this type of valeting two to three times per year, you would keep your vehicle in pristine condition throughout it's life! I had a take home police vehicle for about 25+ years when I was a cop and i would do a full "valet" on my patrol car at home about every 3 or 4 months with maintenance wipe downs and cleanings in between. My patrol cars were always sought after at the auctions after it was time to switch them out for new ones due to end of life cycle as it was in like new condition, even after 150,000 to 200,000 miles!. Taxi cab companies would buy them and use them for many more years. It doesn't take much to keep your vehicle in great condition. By simply doing a quick vacuum and wiping down the interior with an interior product for all surfaces like Soft 99 Was Mist+ and you will be good to go for many months to complement the valet you just paid for. Get the Valet repeated every few months and your vehicle will stay pristine for a long time. It's just simple, 10 minutes worth of maintenance per week with a vacuum (Hoover), and a quick wipe down to keep the valet going a lot longer. A product like Wash Mist+ can even tackle the windows (along with all the other surfaces inside), with light cleaning and a slightly clean and fresh scent left behind and your interior looking fresh and factory (matte) showroom appearance on the leather and plastics. A further product I would highly recommend that's fairly affordable is their So2PUR which has no scent but kills any odor inside your vehicle and leaves behind no scent. A quick spray down (if you do have odors) will tackle that, and you will have a quick clean interior with only a few useful products. I just wish Soft 99 sold Wash Mist+ in a gallon format in concentrate form. Detailers would probably use it more for quick wipe downs if it was available in concentrate gallon form to make it economical for the valeter or detailer.
my problem at the moment is im doing a full valet inside and out etc no engine bay cleaning for 50 pounds and it takes around 3-4 hours....just dont know how to charge more with people that have never spent anymore than 50 pounds.
Ok so maybe tweak that £50 valet and dial back on what you are giving them. Maybe you are offering too much. Sometimes it can depend on area and target audience
Oh man tell me about the pollen It gets all over the car in annoying yellow spots
they get in everywhere this time of the year
Great video! The only bad thing is that with the English climate, the next day the car is filthy
Have you done any videos of a grubby van with a rubber floor? Asking for a friend……
A couple of red flags when starting out. "What's your cheapest price" "It's not too bad" "If you do this one for cheap I have loads more for you" Don't be afraid to say no and walk away.
Big red flags those ones 🔴
Such a controversial topic of conversation just now . Personally I feel like too many guys in my area are calling themselves detailers but really they are valeting and doing bare minimum at best , the amount of calls I have asking to go and fix someone else’s work who has overcharged and underperformed . I try to pride myself on immaculate attention to detail and will happily spend longer on a car if it needs it even though I’m mobile I won’t walk away until it’s spotless all over I also think detailing starts when your really going into the depth of the car inside and out and perfect it with Professional techniques
I think the core problem comes down to client expectations and lack of knowledge of what we actually do. They presume a wash is a wash! without realising our costs or the work involved. Im always happy to adjust for the client because its all about giving them the best satisfaction for there money
Did your nan go for any of the upsells? 😃
Lol no 😂
@@epicautomotivedetailing haha Fair play Dave, love your videos. Cheers
I love looking after my own business cars and family cars. I wouldn't like to dive into someone else's filth or neglected cars for a job.
It's not so bad
Is your nan single 🎉 lol ?😅
