Car value depreciation can be dramatically reduced by car valeting

March 10th, 2008

Car buyers across the U.K hoping to have a brand new car are facing a hard bargain. In the first year of ownership, a brand new car will suffer on average, a 43% loss of value. Car value continues to depreciate even further and in the third year of ownership the car will have lost around 60% of its value. As a result many car buyers decide to buy cars that are nearly new, having already depreciated to a half of their original price. Excluding the curbing of mileage other things can be done to reduce the depreciation of your car.

The most simple and basic advice is to keep your car clean. This is easy to say but if the car is to truly benefit from maintenance it is advised that professional valeting service should be used. Your average multi storey car park cowboy who will wash a car for 5 pounds may remove the dirt from your car, but the remaining scratches as a result of poor professionalism and incompetency will do nothing but reduce your car’s value. As it goes consumers are normally washing their cars once every fortnight. It is recommended by carvaleter.com that you wash your car every two weeks and get a full valet every month. As it goes consumers are normally washing their cars once every fortnight. Upkeep of averagely priced cars (£8,000-£16,000) with the use of a professional valeting service can save you up to £2,000, and around £4,000 on executive cars (£20,0000+).

Is It The End For Car Valeters with the Rinspeed sQuba convertible

February 15th, 2008

This is the sQuba Rinspeed which claims to be ‘the first diving car’. Inspired by Roger Moore’s Esprit in The Spy Who Loved Me, it transforms from a simple road car into an amphibious vehicle that can dive to depths of up to 10 metres.

Does this mean a end for car washes why pay when you can just take a quick dip in the thames.

On land, the sQuba’s electric motor drives the rear wheels, while two propellers in the stern skim it over the surface on the water. Under the sea, two jets in the bow propel the sQuba’s lightweight carbon frame gracefully through coral reefs and turquoise atolls and soforth.

Of course, with the open roof you’re going to get a touch damp, but at least you’ll be able to breathe, thanks to the sQuba’s on-board air supply.

Too good to be true? Almost certainly. The sQuba is only a concept, so i think the valeting industrys safe for now.

Purpose of Waxing during a Car Valet

February 6th, 2008

Waxing is the ultimate form of protecting an automobile’s finish. Wax comes in many forms such as cream, paste, and liquid. Many waxes contain carnuba which contains a high amount of fatty acids. This fatty acid creates a solid layer between the paint and the outside world which protects it, and gives it a shiny finish. Synthetic waxes are regarded as the most effective product available. Synthetic wax contains strong U.V. inhibitors. Synthetic waxes commonly mix low amounts of cleaners with high amounts of U.V. inhibitors to create the same protective layer that carnauba does.

Purpose of using Clay Bar during a Car Valet

February 6th, 2008

Clay is a mixture of clay base and various mild abrasives. Clay along with a clay lubricant is used to remove paint contamination. Road grime, tar, bugs, rust, tree sap and even paint overspray can be removed with a clay bar. Clay bars differ in color and density but what is most important, type and amount of abrasive particles they contain. All clay bars will be labeled from “mild” to “strong” abrasive quality. Claying does not remove the clear coat of the paint but can cause marring or dullness if used incorrectly. When using a clay bar sufficient lubrication must be present to avoid scratching the paint. It takes a few passes of clay to feel the difference on the surface of the paint. To evaluate the effectiveness of claying dry the area and assess the paint and the bar. The paint should become slick to touch. The clay bar used should be turning gray. If the clay bar is dropped it must be discarded. The clay bar should be folded over frequently to expose clean surface. Claying does not replace polishing. It is a process that should be used before polishing compound is used. Claying should be used once or twice a year.

Purpose of Polishing during a Car Valet

February 6th, 2008

The purpose of polishing is to remove contamination, swirls, scratches and other imperfections from the paint. In contrast to the clay, which removes contamination from the surface of the paint, polishes penetrate the clearcoat or the paint itself on single stage paint. Polishes are classified based on how abrasive they are. Rubbing Compound will remove the heavy scratches and oxidation. It can be compared to a fine sandpaper. Polish is used to remove light oxidation and fine scratches. It can also be used to remove light imperfections such as swirl marks or water spots. Pre-wax cleaner is also a polish. It is used prior to waxing to remove very light contamination and dirt. Glaze is the finest polish. It does not remove the imperfections but has the power to enhance surface gloss. There are other products such as a “buff and wax” which contain a high level of cleaner and U.V. protectant or carnuba, producing a polish and a protect effect.
