Detailing on a regular schedule

A vehicle seen regularly never needs rescuing. Choose your schedule.

How recurring care works

A service relationship, not a plan

There is nothing to join and nothing to get out of, which is why there is no page on this site called Plans.

  1. Book the first visit

    An ordinary booking. Choose the service your vehicle needs and be honest about the condition — the first visit is always the longest one.

  2. Choose how often

    Pick a schedule during booking. It records how often you want the vehicle seen; it does not charge for anything that has not happened.

  3. We come back on it

    Each visit is the full service you picked, run in the same order by the same team. Your vehicle, address and access notes are already on your account.

Save with recurring service

Choose the schedule that fits your vehicle

Less about how much you want to spend than about where the vehicle spends its nights. Your exact recurring price is calculated during booking, from the vehicle in front of us.

  • Weekly

    Save 20%

    Every week

    Vehicles that live outside and are driven every day.

    The vehicle never gets far from clean, so each visit is maintenance rather than recovery. The usual choice for demonstrator cars and anything photographed often.

  • Bi-weekly

    Save 15%

    Every two weeks

    Daily drivers that see highway miles and weather.

    Close enough together that road film and brake dust never get a hold, and far enough apart to stay sensible for a car that is simply used.

  • Monthly

    Save 10%

    Every month

    Cars kept in a garage, or driven lightly.

    The most common schedule. Enough time passes to be worth doing properly, not enough for anything to become difficult to put right.

  • Quarterly

    Save 5%

    Every three months

    Weekend and stored vehicles, and seasonal resets.

    A full detail four times a year. Each visit does more work than a monthly one because more has had time to settle.

Each saving is the published percentage off the standard rate for that service. It is a percentage rather than an amount because it holds whatever you drive — and your exact recurring price is confirmed before every visit, never after it.

Recurring savings are earned over 2 completed visits. There is no joining fee, no minimum term beyond those 2 visits, and nothing is charged up front. If you stop before then, we simply recover the saving you have already received — never a fee, and never a charge for work we have not done. If we cancel or get it wrong, nothing is recovered. Reschedule, skip, pause or change how often we come at any time.

What it applies to

Any service, any vehicle we price online

A schedule is a property of the booking rather than a product of its own, so it attaches to whichever service you chose — and it can be changed later without rebooking.

  1. How the saving reaches your total

    The published percentage for the frequency you chose is applied to the standard price for that service on your vehicle, and it appears as its own line in the total before you confirm. It is never applied retroactively and never to a visit that has not happened.

  2. How you get an exact price

    In the booking flow, from the vehicle you actually have and the condition it is actually in. No figure on this page would be true for every vehicle, which is why there is not one.

  3. Managing it afterward

    Move a visit, skip one, change the frequency or stop entirely from your account. Nothing is charged for a visit that has not happened, and a new frequency applies from the next visit rather than to the last one.

Specialty vehicles priced by the foot — boats, motorhomes, trailers — are quoted rather than priced online, and a recurring arrangement for those is agreed in the quote. See the vehicle categories.

What it changes

What a schedule is actually worth

  • Less work each visit

    A vehicle seen regularly never needs rescuing. Every visit does less undoing than the last, which is the whole argument for a schedule.

  • Protection that holds

    Sealant, trim dressing and interior protection are topped up before they have failed rather than reapplied to bare paint months later.

  • A vehicle that always looks right

    No gap where it is visibly overdue. That matters most for vehicles that carry a company name or get photographed.

  • Booking takes a minute

    Your vehicle, address and access notes are saved to your account after the first visit, so the next one is a couple of taps.

The terms

What you are not signing up to

A schedule is a booking rhythm. You can pause it, move it or stop it from your account at any time, and nothing is charged for a visit that has not happened.

Get my price
  1. No contract

    Nothing to sign, no minimum number of visits, and no fee for stopping. Choosing a schedule is choosing how often to book.

  2. Billed per visit

    On the same terms as a one-off. A schedule never bills in advance and never bills for a visit that has not happened.

  3. Pause or move any visit

    Away, garaged, or simply not needed — move it or skip it from your account. The rhythm picks up at the next one.

  4. Change your mind

    Move between schedules whenever you like. The new rate applies from the next visit, never retroactively.

Every visit

What stays exactly the same

The value of seeing a vehicle often is that each visit does less work than the last. That only holds if the standard does not drift.

  1. The same order of work

    Exterior first, interior last, so nothing just cleaned is re-soiled. A tenth visit is run exactly like a first one.

  2. The same walkaround

    We look over the vehicle with you before we start and again before we pack up — or photograph it if you are not there.

  3. The same rule about extras

    Nothing is added to a job without your approval first. We cannot charge for a change you have not approved.

Starting

The first visit is the long one

A vehicle that has not been detailed in a while takes the most work it will ever take from us. After that, every visit is maintenance.

  • Book the first visit normally, and be honest about the condition
  • Choose how often you want the vehicle seen on the same screen
  • Your vehicle, address and access notes are saved for next time
  • Pause, move or stop the schedule from your account whenever you like

Why a rhythm beats a rescue

The argument for seeing a vehicle often is a physical one rather than a motivational one. These go through it properly.

How long does a car detail take?

The honest answer is a range, and the range is not evasion — it is the vehicle, the condition and the service level doing the work. Here is what moves the clock, and how to plan around it.

Book one detail. Decide the rhythm after.

A schedule can be set on any booking, including one you have already made.
