I have a great bunch of Albanian guys who do an excellent drive-thru job of cleaning my car for a tenner every other week. However, having just bought a new car and wanting slightly more for its 'first clean', I don't feel like spending £40 to upgrade to their 'mini-valet' with these guys will leave me with what I want.

What I'm looking for is a slight upgrade from the Albanians, without spending £150 for the bottom-end services of a 'detailer' (based on my web research) - i.e. a decent clean, polish and wax, without using products made from unicorn foreskin.

From what I could see, my £150 at a detailer basically gets the same as my Albanians do (albeit at far higher quality), plus hoovering my airvents. With the best will in the world, the car has enough imperfections that a proper detail would be completely wasted, and probably do nothing other than make them stand out more.

Does anyone have any thoughts, or anyone that they might recommend?

Thanks kindly both.

In losing hope that I would get a reply here, I've actually found a load of mobile valeters offering services in the £40-60 region that seem to fit my needs.
