Detailing for people who care what their paint looks like up close.

It depends on the package and your car's condition. A Standard Valet is usually finished within a couple of hours; a full Enhancement Detail or Ceramic Coating can take the best part of a day or two. We'll agree a collection time when you book.

Yes — slots are limited, especially at weekends. Message or call with your reg and postcode and we'll find the next available day.

Rain won't undo the work. The wash and correction stages aren't affected, and if ceramic coating's been applied your car will actually shed water and dirt more easily in wet weather.

Yes, as long as the paint's in reasonable condition. If there's noticeable swirling we'll usually recommend an enhancement polish first, so the coating goes over a corrected surface rather than sealing in existing marks.

Card and bank transfer are both accepted — we'll confirm details when your booking's set.

Yes — if your car's already been detailed with us, ask about a discounted recurring plan to keep it looking the same way month to month.

A £25 deposit is required to secure your booking. This is taken at the time of booking and deducted from the total cost of your service. The deposit is non-refundable for cancellations within 72 hours of the appointment, but can be applied towards a future booking if rescheduled with sufficient notice.

Full payment is due within 48 hours of receiving your invoice. Payments not received within this window incur a 20% late fee on the outstanding balance, rising to 40% if payment is still outstanding after 72 hours. Please pay promptly to avoid additional charges.

Our work depends on suitable weather conditions. If we arrive at the agreed location and the weather prevents us from working, we'll reschedule your appointment for a mutually convenient time at no extra cost. ZP Valets reserves the right to amend its pricing schedule or any quotation at any time without prior notice.

For interior valets, please have your car in a reasonable condition beforehand — remove excess items from the interior and boot, and keep personal belongings separate from anything you're happy for us to treat as rubbish. Items that appear to be rubbish may be disposed of. Please remove all personal belongings, money and valuables from your vehicle before any valeting service.

ZP Valets accepts no liability for the loss of, or damage to, personal belongings left inside a vehicle while it is being valeted. Child seats must be removed and refitted by the customer — for safety and legal reasons, we're unable to refit these under any circumstances. Please inspect your vehicle on completion and report any issues immediately so they can be resolved.
