Words are almost inadequate to describe how good an experience dealing with Chris, Ross and Callum has been. Their attention to detail, attentiveness and extremely personally-catered-to service is something that is in short supply nowadays. My partner and I have had nothing but wonderful things to say and if you’re looking for immaculate, OCD-levels of perfection and a service which makes you feel valued and looked-after as a customer, look no further. Not only has start to finish been irreproachable; the aftercare given lets you know you weren’t just a paycheque to be “in and out”. 100% made themselves lifetime customers. 10/10

Went in to see about getting my car ceramic coated. Had no problems at all with the communications between us and really easy to speak to Chris and Ross. Also had good faith in Ross as he was so eager to fully detail my Skoda Karoq in race blue as he hadn’t done this colour and what a result it was and well over the moon with it

PERFECTION! If that’s what you seek, that’s what you’ll find at Edinburgh Car Valeting.
I purchased a used Land Rover Discovery and could not get the dog smell and hair out!! Chris and his team were my last chance to keep my LR4, as I’m allergic to dogs and even contemplated selling it. 😬
Chris had just the solution, succeeding where others had failed. Not a whiff or sign of dog was left, and my LR4 looked like new on top of all that!! 😄
If you’re looking for absolute perfection in every detail, and will settle for nothing less, look no further. 🏁

Had my car done by a gentleman named Chris, he turned up very polite and raring to go, Chris went the extra mile when he noticed my car had a dent with white paint showing over the black paint, that some other driver had done to my car and to my amazement and delight he worked his magic and got it all out for me, I thought this was going to be a whole new paint job, wow thanks so much. He then spent 3 hours on my car and again to my delight the car looked worthy to put in a show room
Thanks again Chris
I will forever more use this company
Cheers Dennis

Absolutely spot on service. Calum was running early so gave me a call to check if he could get started before booking time. Really friendly, clearly knows what he is doing and left me with a car that looks better than it ever has since I bought it. Not an easy job with two young children as daily passengers but he worked his magic and did a fantastic job. Could not be happier!

Booked Edinburgh Car Valeting online as I was moving to Edinburgh and knew my car would need a good clean after a 6hr drive. Chris got in touch promptly and I was booked in for the day after I arrived ( I was glad I booked in advance as they work about a week ahead due to how busy they are). On the morning of the valet the Bloke that turned up was very friendly and made the whole thing very simple and straight forward. He called after 2 hours to tell me it was done and I could not believe how good he had made the car look. It was far from a brand new car but he had made it look and feel as if it was. I will definitely be using them again and will be recommending them to work colleagues and friends in Edinburgh

1
Cab Roof Clean/Protect
We will wash the entire convertible top at one time, we never spot clean as this will leave rings or spots. Start by applying the cleaner and Use a circular motion and a brush to scrub the top. Then wipe off all the cleaning product from the convertible top. Using a towel, apply a rubber preservative to protect the top to keep it looking great. Any excess will be removed. Then we will add a Cabriolet Weather proofer. This comprehensive formula creates a protective barrier that delivers long-lasting defence against UV rays, acid rain, bird droppings, stains and more.
2
Car Drying
One of the only mobile valeting companies in the UK to dry your vehicle with a master blaster. The Master Blaster’s twin motors produce a whopping 8hp, blasting 58,000 ft/min to eat leaf blowers & compressors for breakfast! 2 Speeds, 4hp or the full 8hp of dry clean filtered air to dry your pride & joy in a way no chamois or blade can, leaving water spot & streak free!
3
Carnauba Wax Treatment
Carnauba car wax is the hardest natural wax known to man.It’s produced by a palm tree in Brazil to coat its leaves and shield them from the intense tropical sun. It sheds water and it’s clear.
4
Clay bar treatment
If you have been neglecting your car, some contaminants grip and even penetrate the clear coat. Detailing clay safely removes these contaminants from the paint and leaves your vehicle feeling slick. All paint finishes are subject to contamination from a variety of chemical, industrial and environmental pollutions, such as tree sap, bird droppings, salt, acid rain and metal flake particles. Even volcanic ash fallout! These pollutants cannot be removed by washing and polishing, they require a clay bar specifically designed to lift these particles away from the paintwork.
5
Engine Bay Valet
Our engine bay valet is great for those who forget to clean under the bonnet, roughly taking 30- 60 minutes to complete. We use a 2 stage process firstly we will use a Maguire’s cleaner which has been formulated to cut through dirt, grime, grease and oil effectively and safely leaving a glossy, clean and greasy free surface. Then we will use Maguire’s to dress the engine bay. There are many benefits of having a clean engine bay, not only does it make easier spotting of potential leaks but also helps longer engine life as does all maintenance.
6
Glass Cleaning
Crystal clear glass is always a must. Out glass cleaner is specifically designed to rapidly remove environmental grime, insect and tobacco film leaving the glass crystal clear both inside and out. Advanced smear free formulation helps reduce night time dazzle leaving a beautiful finish. Many motorists agree road grime and insects cause badly smeared windscreens, making it difficult to see the road properly. Sometimes these contaminants refuse to budge however much you try to wash them away.
7
Glass Polishing
For those who aim for even more we offer to polish your glass using a cream polish designed to intensively clean glass and perspex surfaces. It removes all traces of oils and even the heaviest of soiling to leave the glass surface clean, smooth and clear.
8
Glass Sealant
Urban Glass Sealant forms an completely transparent, effective barrier against rain, snow, sleet, etc. Making driving much easier during adverse weather conditions, significantly reducing the requirement for using wiper blades and screen wash.
Anti-stick properties means dirt will not adhere to the glass surface and the hydrophobic nature of the formulation means rain drops disperse at driving speeds in excess of 35kph / 20mph, making it the ideal choice for drivers who spend most of their journey driving in urban areas. The long lasting nature means one layer of coating will last around 6000km or 3700 miles.
9
Leather Upholstery Cleaned/Treated
Maintaining and cleaning leather seats can be a hassle if you are not prepared for the task. There are many cleaning products and techniques, but you don’t want to risk damaging your expensive leather. There are four main leather types that are commonly used in car seats: Aniline, Semi-Aniline, Full-Grain, and Corrected Grain Leather. Knowing which leather your car seats are made from is a crucial step in how to clean and maintain it. You’ll find that your driver seat looks the worst, because it’s most frequently used. Every time the driver gets into their car, they scratch the backrest and sometimes the armrests. This, over time, can produce cracks if you don’t clean and maintain your seats. First we will clean the seat removing body oils, sweat, stains and spills. Then we will apply a leather balm to protect and lock in the clean crisp finish.
10
Polishing
Polishing is the process of creating a smooth and shiny surface by rubbing it or using a chemical action, leaving the surface with a significant specular reflection. Polishing is a broad term for a range of processes designed to either remove or mask sub-surface paint defects and greatly enhance surface gloss. Preparation is key before polishing, once we are happy with the preparation we will hand polish your car using autoglym super resin polish to leave the car with a showroom shine.
11
Pre Wash Snow Foam/Traffic Film Removal
Never do we touch a car with our wash mitts before pre-washing with a specially formulated, ultra-high foam additive that will produce extremely stable dense foam. Ultimate Snow Foam is a PRE-WASH CLEANER designed to remove excess grime, lifting dirt away from the surface, thus reducing the risk of scratching during subsequent washing.
12
Sealants
Polymer Sealant is a unique blend of polymers and imported waxes that creates a brilliant high gloss finish that outlasts other waxes. It is safe and effective on all paint finish and gives that ultimate shine. Paint Sealants simply do just that- they seal the paint from the harsh environment. Where wax is a natural substance, sealants are synthetic waxes that are formulated for long lasting and protective qualities.
13
Tar, Glue and Asphalt Removal
During warm weather the road surface can disintegrate and small specks of tar are flicked onto your bodywork. These spots show up especially well on light coloured cars and can ruin otherwise perfect paint. We use a tried and tested tar remover called ‘Just the Tonic’ which will also remove adhesive residues, fuel stains from paintwork and tree sap safely but effectively.
