Filthy Fiat 500 - only 4 years old and 4K miles, but in need of a deep clean
It’s fair to say that in its 4 year life and 4K miles this little Fiat 500 hasn’t seen a hose pipe or bucket of suds very often. And when it has, it would seem whoever was ‘washing’ it was just moving the much around and damaging the bodywork. Proof that poor wash techniques can play havoc with a car’s clearcoat and prematurely age the appearance.
If budget allowed, I would’ve loved to treat this little car to a full paint correction but sadly it’s another one for the sales forecourt so we just have to do what we can with the limited time and funds.
What you won’t see in the video is the stained seats which I treated the day before. The video also doesn’t show the bobbly carpet, a result of years without floor mats. I found the best way to solve this was to use my bobble remover usually reserved for my woolly jumpers. Needs must.
I did machine polish the worst scratches on above the door handles, as they were really letting the side down and one of the first things you notice when getting in the car. It’s not perfect, but hopefully you’ll agree it looks a lot better than it did when it arrived.
If you or someone you know would like to get their car looking like new again, please share my details. I genuinely love cars and think they all deserve some care and attention.

Check out this 23,000 mile (yes, 23k) 2009 Peugeot 207SW that has been sat for while and developed its own eco-system. Dropped off with me by a local car dealer wanting it pitch ready to sell on. Under all that grime and dirt was a decent car waiting to come out.

I was contacted by a lovely chap who was having to say goodbye to his lovely Range Rover Velar as it was due to be returned to the lease company. The car was booked in for a full valet, but it turned into a deep clean in the end. I was hoping to have a bit of time later in the day to tackle some of the scratches in the paintwork but after a solid 8 hours exterior and interior cleaning I ran out...

A regular client recently acquired a new company car, this stunning BMW i4. However, it was delivered on the back of a trailer and was filthy, spoiling that new car feeling. The supplying company agreed to pay for the car to be valeted as a good well gesture, so it was booked in with me for a proper clean inside and out. After cleaning the arches, wheels and tyres, I went on to pre-wash and the...

Crusty Corsa comes clean

Another neglected car traded in with a local dealer that was in desperate need of a good clean before it can be passed on to a new owner. With these sorts of jobs, I find it really difficult to just do enough, as I only have one standard and it's probably too high for jobs like these which don't generate a lot of income. I felt really sorry for this little Corsa, I don't think it's ever had a p...

The first question I get asked by a new client is "how much do you charge for a full valet?" When I tell them the price, the next question they ask is "what do I get?" So, I thought I'd make a short video which walks you through the process of a Detailed Driven full valet. If you'd like more details, including additional services such as paint correction and protection, and our maintenance pack...

      Admittedly it doesn’t look too bad in the video at first and certainly wasn’t the worse I’ve had to tackle. However, it’s surprising how much dirt comes off a car that looks clean at first glance. It’s difficult to show the full extent in a video, but most importantly the client noticed a big difference from when he dropped it off and was very happy with the work done.

    Is that a house bucket? No foam gun or speciality bucket with a grate in it?

    • @detaileddriven
      @detaileddriven Před rokem

      The small orange bucket is just for the wheels and arches, there are two other larger buckets both with grit guards for the contact wash. The green bucket is just for holding brushes. I always clean the wheels first because they are the dirtiest part of a car. To save time, I do the pre-wash with citrus / snow foam so that it can dwell and do its work on the bodywork while I clean the wheels, then full rinse before the contact wash and rinse. Then I use the blower to remove water from the nooks and crevices before a final towel dry. With it being a timelapse, it doesn't show much of the snowfoam application.
