    What Is Interior Valeting and Why Do You Need It?

    A UK driver will spend an average of 4 years behind the wheel of a car in their lifetime. As such, some car owners are fastidious when it comes to their car’s appearance and make sure to valet their car weekly or every fortnight. But few rarely remember to clean the interior at the same time.

     

    Caring for a car’s interior is just as important as the exterior. Surface cleaning alone may not be enough. This is why it’s advised to get a vehicle detailed two to three times a year to keep it looking its best.

    Keep Your Car Clean: Legal Requirements

    Car owners across the UK pride themselves on the appearance of their cars. From washing and polishing the exterior to hoovering and sanitising the interior, they do all this to get every nook and cranny as clean as possible. While keeping the car clean is something that car owners strive to do, sometimes life gets in the way and cleaning is pushed back on the to-do list.

    A Car Owner’s Guide to Car Valeting and Other Car Services

    Apart from a house, one of the most expensive purchases anyone will ever make in their life is a car. As a valuable investment, it’s only right for car owners to protect their vehicles and hire maintenance services to ensure their cars are in top condition all the time. Thankfully, car detailing and mobile car valeting services are now easily within reach.

     

    However, due to the recent increase in popularity in these services, there has been a big confusion between vehicle valeting and detailing.
