From deck to driveway
Before this was a valeting business it was a job on the water. Bosun on motor yachts, responsible for the exterior of vessels worth more than most streets in Cornwall, where a water spot is a problem and a swirl mark is a failure.
That work is not about making something clean for a weekend. It is about preservation: stopping salt, sun and bad technique from taking value off an asset year after year. Cornwall is hard on paintwork for exactly the same reasons the coast is hard on a hull.
Same discipline, same products, same standards. Different postcode.

Commissioned work, available nationwide
Some cars do not stay in one place. If you keep a vehicle at a second home, move a collection between properties, or need something prepared to show standard somewhere I am not, I will travel to it.
Commissioned work is available anywhere in the UK and is quoted individually. Travel and accommodation are charged at cost on top of the service, with a minimum engagement of [X] days.
This is the arrangement I worked under as a bosun. The boat is where the boat is, and you go to it.

Reviews
Google reviews“Sam came over to my house in Falmouth and did a deep clean and correction with a coat of ceramic. He talked me through his process, following a strict procedure to make sure a great outcome was achieved. Car looks like new and is easier to maintain. He even came back and did extra work the day after, free of charge.”
“Thanks Sam, what a great service! You made my 40 year old classic Mercedes look like new. Wow. Much impressed by your attention to detail and your professional approach to the job in hand. Of course I will use your services again. If you want a first class car detailing job, give Sam a call.”
“Sam’s attention to detail is next level. I asked him to do a deep clean on my car and it came back looking brand new. Thank you!”
