Basic Valet Components

  • Citrus Wash – Citrus Wash is a safe non-acidic TFR (Traffic Film Remover) This product is sprayed onto each panel of the car and left for a while for it to soak into the dirt. It breaks down the dirt and grime on contact, allowing it to be removed safely from the paintwork using a pressure washer
  • Snow Foam – Snow foam is the second pre wash stage after Citrus wash. This is a thick blanket of foam which is sprayed on the vehicle, making it look like snow. As with Citrus wash, the foam breaks down any dirt or grim left after the Citrus wash and is washed away using a pressure washer. The above 2 Pre Wash stages are designed to remove most of the dirt on the paintwork of the car, which allows the car to be hand washed and greatly reducing the risk of paint marring or swirl marks on the paintwork.
  • 2 Bucket System – The 2 bucket system comes in on the hand wash part of the clean, where we have a rinse and wash bucket. We fill the wash bucket with soapy water and the rinse bucket with plain water. Both buckets have a grit guard at the bottom which catches any bits of dirt and grit and keeps them at the bottom of the bucket so that they will not get back on the wash mitt and in turn back onto the vehicle, scratching the paintwork. First, you clean the wash mitt in the rinse bucket, squeezing out the remaining water before dipping it into the wash bucket and washing a panel. The wash mitt has two sides and one side of the mitt will do one panel before the mitt needs to be put in the rinse bucket to remove the dirt and grim and repeat the process until the car is washed.
  • Spray Light Wax – This product is applied to the vehicle in the same manner as the snow foam product. It is administered to the entire vehicle and then rinsed off. The effect it to add a lot of gloss and a layer of wax to the paintwork, which can last up to 4 weeks.
  • De-ionised water – De-ionised water is also known as pure water, it has gone through a reverse osmosis process to remove all contaminants and minerals from normal tap water leaving it as pure water. Using this on the final rinse allows water to dry on the vehicle without leaving those unsightly watermarks, so if there is any water left in the crevices of the car when you drive away, they won’t mark the vehicle.

  • Drying – There are 2 ways to dry the vehicle, first is using a plush drying towel which is soft and soaks up a lot of water. This reduces the risk of scratching the paintwork, unlike using a leather or a plastic water blade. The second drying method is to use a hot air blower, which is like a large hairdryer, blowing the water off the car. This method is time-consuming, but it does have a few advantages. Using the hot air blower eliminates the risk of scratches from a drying towel as you’re not actually touching the car, also you can blow the water out of all the little nooks and crannies where water likes to sit until you have finished, and it decides to run down a clean dry panel, like from the mirrors or the light clusters.

  • Glossy Sealant – All valets are finished off with a gloomy sealant, unless you have opted for another type of sealant or wax. The glossy sealant provides a layer of protection to the paintwork from things like bird lime, tree sap and other daily road contaminants. It also improves the gloss and colour richness of the paint, leaving a beautiful finish on the car.
