Mobile Car Valeting & Detailing Across Cornwall

Yes. Sunshine Valets provides mobile detailing throughout Cornwall, but I am not limited to mobile work.

For most valeting and detailing appointments, I can come directly to your home or workplace with the equipment needed to carry out the service.

For more involved paint correction, ceramic coating, intensive detailing or paint and bodywork projects, vehicles can also be worked on at our professional studio and bodyshop near Helston.

My coverage includes Porthleven, Helston, Falmouth, Truro, Penzance, St Ives, Hayle, Mullion, the Lizard, Newquay, St Austell, Bodmin, Wadebridge, Padstow, Looe, Liskeard, Launceston, Bude and surrounding areas.

There are no travel charges for bookings in Cornwall. For work further afield, email hello@sunshinevalets.co.uk and I'll quote.

Yes. I arrive with my own power, water and professional valeting and detailing equipment.

Please let me know when booking whether there's an outside tap on site. On longer correction days I may plan to use it, and I'll confirm before the appointment. All I need otherwise is enough space to work safely around the vehicle.

It depends on the condition of the car and the result you're looking for.

The Maintenance Club keeps a car that's already been brought up to standard looking right, on a 4-week cycle. It's members only, after an initial detailing package with us.

The Deep Clean is for cars that need a thorough reset inside and out.

If the paintwork is dull, swirled or lightly scratched, The Correction Stage 1 uses machine polishing to significantly improve gloss and clarity.

For heavier defects, The Correction Stage 2 allows a more intensive level of correction and refinement. The Multi-Stage Correction is for heavily scratched paint, rare vehicles and the highest level of finish.

Picked up a new car? New Car Futureproof includes Reign ceramic coating for vehicles with 100 miles or less on the odometer.

If you're unsure, request a quote with a few photos of the vehicle and I'll point you towards the most suitable service.

A Deep Clean focuses primarily on getting the vehicle thoroughly cleaned and refreshed inside and out.

Detailing goes further. Services such as paint enhancement, paint correction and ceramic coating involve working on the condition and finish of the paintwork, rather than simply cleaning it.

If the car is dirty but the paintwork looks good, a Deep Clean may be all it needs. If you're looking to improve swirls, scratches, gloss or paint clarity, machine polishing is the better route.

Yes, many swirl marks, wash marring and light scratches can be significantly reduced or removed through machine polishing.

The amount of correction possible depends on the depth of the defects, the type and condition of the paint and how much clear coat is available to safely work with.

The Correction Stage 1 is designed to improve lighter defects and restore gloss and clarity. The Correction Stage 2 and The Multi-Stage Correction allow more time for heavier defects before the paintwork is refined to the best safe finish possible.

Deep scratches that have gone through the clear coat cannot simply be polished away.

It depends on the service, vehicle size and condition.

The Maintenance Club takes 2½ to 3 hours and The Deep Clean 4 to 8 hours. New Car Futureproof takes 1 day, The Correction Stage 1 takes 1 to 2 days, The Correction Stage 2 takes 2 days and The Multi-Stage Correction takes 2 to 3 days. Each package shows its time on site when you book.

Yes. I offer ceramic coating for customers across Cornwall looking for longer-lasting protection for their vehicle's paintwork.

Before applying a ceramic coating, the paint needs to be thoroughly cleaned and prepared. Depending on its condition, machine polishing may also be recommended beforehand to improve the finish before it is locked in beneath the coating.

Reign ceramic coating is £200 and Dynasty is £300 as add-ons to any Correction package. Reign is included in New Car Futureproof. Ceramic coatings need dry, covered conditions to cure, so mobile coating bookings need a garage, carport or covered driveway; otherwise the work can be done at the studio.

Yes. Most work can be carried out at your home or workplace, provided there is a safe and suitable space around the vehicle.

I bring my own power and water. Just let me know when booking whether there's an outside tap.

If you're unsure whether your location is suitable, email a photo of the parking area to hello@sunshinevalets.co.uk before booking.

Yes, but these jobs are quoted individually rather than booked online. Heavy pet hair (such as removal for allergy sufferers), mould, biohazards and bodily fluids all need extra time and the right products. Request a quote below and add a few photos, and I'll come back with a price.

Light or changeable Cornish weather can often be worked around, and I carry shelter for jobs where conditions allow.

If the weather becomes too severe for the work to be carried out safely or to the standard required, I'll contact you and arrange the best way forward.

Paint correction, polishing and ceramic coating are more weather-sensitive than routine valeting, so conditions are taken into account before these jobs go ahead.

Not for the whole appointment.

As long as I can access the vehicle and have any keys needed for the interior, you're free to get on with your day while I work.

For larger detailing and paint correction jobs, I'll normally discuss the vehicle with you beforehand and go through the finished result with you afterwards where possible.

Yes. Commissioned detailing work is available outside Cornwall for suitable vehicles and projects.

This can include cars kept at second homes, collections, event preparation and vehicles that need specialist valeting or detailing away from their usual location.

Email hello@sunshinevalets.co.uk with the vehicle details, location and what you need, and I'll put together the right arrangement.
