Services and prices
Prices vary by vehicle size and condition. You'll always know the final price before work begins.
THE DEEP CLEAN
From £180The booking that undoes neglect, dealer prep and hand car wash shortcuts in a single visit. Built for vehicles that have drifted further from "right" than a standard valet can recover. Not a touch-up. A genuine reset.
NEW CAR FUTUREPROOF
From £500Just picked up your dream car or new lease? Skip the dealership protection packages. This one keeps new cars new: cleaner for longer, protected from the elements, looking fresh for years. Not for aged paint, heavy swirls or worn interiors.
THE CORRECTION STAGE 1
From £500For paintwork carrying the swirl marks and wash marring of years of supermarket car washes, dealer prep and well-meaning but unsafe washing. The booking that genuinely corrects what flat-look paint is hiding.
THE CORRECTION STAGE 2
From £800For paintwork beyond what a single polish stage can recover. Deeper scratches, previous poor machine work, holograms, sanding marks. The booking when the result you want isn't possible through Stage 1. Requires 1–2 days depending on size and condition.
THE MULTI-STAGE CORRECTION
From £1000For the few who need more than a standard detail: heavily scratched paint, rare vehicles or owners who demand the highest level of correction, refinement and finish. Requires 2–3 days depending on size and condition.

Experience that carries over
Before Sunshine Valets, I spent years working around boats, paintwork and high-value finishes, including time as a bosun on superyachts and in fairing and paint at Pendennis Shipyard.
That work taught me that looking after a finish isn't just about making it clean. Salt, sun and poor washing take their toll over time. Cornwall is hard on paintwork for many of the same reasons the Sea and Sun is hard on a hull.
It's an approach I've carried into the way I look after cars today.

Reviews
Google reviews"I can't recommend Sam enough, he's done an amazing job, no nook is too small. To get a 2013 plate looking as close to new as he has is quite something. He also spent some time chatting with me about options to look after the paintwork moving forward. Such a sound and friendly guy. You won't regret, and your car will thank you!"
“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 came to detail my car in preparation for selling and less than 4 hours later it was sold! Ridiculously nice bloke and has all the gear to make your car look and smell amazing. Very highly recommended"
