Valeting focuses on cleaning the interior and exterior of your vehicle to a high standard — including vacuuming, shampooing, and washing — to restore cleanliness and shine. Detailing goes a step further, involving deep cleaning, paint correction, machine polishing, and protection like ceramic coatings. It's about restoring and preserving the car’s condition, inside and out, often with meticulous attention to detail.

Yes, GK Detailing offers fully mobile services across Birmingham and surrounding areas. We bring our own water, power, and equipment, so we can work on your vehicle at your home, workplace, or location of choice — as long as there’s safe access and enough space.

A full detail can take anywhere from 3 to 24 hours depending on the size of the vehicle, its condition, and the level of package booked. More intensive detailing (e.g., paint correction, ceramic coating) may take a full day or longer. We always aim for quality over speed to ensure the best finish.

We use a range of premium, professional-grade products from trusted brands like Auto Finesse, Gtechniq, Koch Chemie, and more. All products are safe for vehicle surfaces, including paintwork, plastics, wheels, glass, and upholstery. We also tailor products to your vehicle’s specific needs, such as matte-safe or pH-neutral options.

While we sometimes have same-day availability, especially for mobile valeting, we recommend booking in advance to secure your slot — particularly for larger or more complex services like detailing. Feel free to contact us and we’ll do our best to fit you in.

Yes, visits to our unit are by appointment only. This helps us manage our schedule, maintain high standards of service, and ensure that your vehicle gets the attention it deserves without interruption. Please book in advance via phone, WhatsApp, or our online contact form.

Yes, we offer ceramic coating as part of our advanced detailing packages. Ceramic coating provides a long-lasting, protective layer over your paintwork, helping to repel water, dirt, and UV damage. It also makes maintenance easier and keeps your car looking newer for longer.

Yes, we offer engine bay cleaning as an optional add-on to our detailing services. Using safe, low-pressure techniques and non-caustic cleaners, we carefully degrease and dress engine components to restore a clean, showroom-style appearance without risking sensitive parts.

A full valet typically includes a complete exterior hand wash and wax, wheel and tyre clean, door shut cleaning, full vacuuming, interior wipe-down and detailing, windows cleaned inside and out, and optional extras like upholstery shampoo or air freshening. It’s ideal for regular maintenance or a thorough refresh.

Absolutely. We understand the specific care matte finishes and vehicle wraps require. We use matte-safe and wrap-safe products that clean and protect without adding unwanted shine or damaging the surface. Let us know your vehicle’s finish when booking, and we’ll adjust accordingly.
