Wash & Protect is our most-booked service in London — and the one we recommend if you're trying to decide between Mini Valet and Full Valet. You get the full Mini Valet (exterior wash, wheels, windows, vacuum, dash) plus a hand-applied hydrophobic sealant that lasts roughly 12 weeks of normal London driving.

The sealant does the heavy lifting between cleans. Rain beads off in seconds. Brake dust and traffic film don't stick as easily. Bird droppings and tree sap wipe off cleanly instead of etching into the paint. You'll go 2-3 weeks longer between cleans, and the cleans you do book will be quicker.

Why pay extra for the sealant?

£25 extra over a Mini Valet, sealant lasts 10-12 weeks. Most customers tell us the next two cleans afterwards are faster and cheaper — water and traffic film just don't stick the same way. Over 12 weeks, the difference works out cheaper than booking Mini Valet four times.

Sealant vs ceramic coating

Sealant is a synthetic protective layer that lasts 8-12 weeks. Ceramic coating is a chemical bond that lasts 1-3 years but costs £400-£900 and requires the car to be paint-corrected first. For most London drivers, sealant is the right call. If you want longer protection, book a paint correction and ask us about ceramic coating at the same time.

What's NOT in Wash & Protect

This is still primarily an exterior service. We do NOT shampoo seats, condition leather, or do paint correction. The interior gets a vacuum, dash polish, and door card wipe — nothing deeper. For interior deep-cleaning, book the Full Valet.

When sealant is wasted money

Honest take: if your car is heavily scratched, oxidised, or covered in tar spots, sealant on top of damage just locks in the problem. We'll inspect when we arrive, and if your paint genuinely needs paint correction first, we'll tell you before applying sealant.

FAQ

Common questions.

Around 12 weeks for daily-driven cars in London. Garage-kept cars can stretch to 16 weeks. If you wash regularly with the wrong soap (kitchen soap, washing-up liquid), youll strip it faster.

Yes — and its the right time to start. A clean sealant layer on factory paint gives the longest-lasting protection. We always do paint inspection first.

Slightly. The real win is depth and water behaviour — paint looks "deeper", rain runs off in beads. If you want serious gloss, book paint correction.

Sealant lasts 10-12 weeks, costs £25 extra. Ceramic coating lasts 1-3 years, costs £400-£900 minimum, and the car has to be paint-corrected first. For 90% of customers, sealant is the right choice.

Perfect time to test the sealant. Water will sheet off — youll see the difference vs an unsealed car.
