A substantial interior & exterior reset at your home or workplace
Designed for vehicles that need more than routine maintenance. It is a defined cleaning service, not an unlimited restoration of an extremely neglected vehicle.
A full car valet is a thorough clean of the whole vehicle, inside and out, rather than a quick wash and vacuum. What “full” includes varies from one valeter to the next, so it is always worth checking the details.
At AquaGleam, our full valet is The Deep Clean. It combines a car interior deep clean, covering seats, carpets, mats, trim and glass, with a safe exterior wash and targeted decontamination. It suits cars that need a substantial reset: a family car, a car that carries pets, a car you have just bought, or one that hasn’t been professionally cleaned for a while.
The Deep Clean is also the normal starting point with AquaGleam. Once it is complete, returning customers can book a Maintenance Clean, which takes around 1 hour, to keep the car at that standard.
Approximately 5 hours, with condition checked before work begins.
Focused improvement without unsupported restoration or stain-removal guarantees.
Years of experience with premium and luxury vehicles.
Concierge service at your home or workplace. Zero inconvenience.
A defined scope for a thorough reset, subject to access and material suitability
The interior is where most of the time goes. Fabric seats and carpets are steam cleaned or extracted where the material is suitable, which lifts dirt that a vacuum alone leaves behind.

The order may change with vehicle condition; total duration is approximately 5 hours
Condition and access check, followed by preparation and a thorough first-pass vacuum of accessible areas.
Material-suitable steam cleaning or extraction, leather care where present, targeted stains, trim, controls, accessible vents and glass.
Pre-wash, snow foam, safe contact wash, accessible wheel areas, and targeted fallout and tar treatment.
Door shuts, tyre dressing, exterior glass, rain repellent and a final quality check.
What is included, and when extra time or an add-on is needed
Reasonable pet-hair removal is included. Hair that is embedded in carpets or seat fabric takes much longer to lift, so further removal can be added with the Pet Hair Removal add-on (£30, about 30 minutes), which is only available with The Deep Clean. Complete removal of embedded hair is not guaranteed.
Targeted stain treatment is included, alongside steam cleaning or extraction of suitable fabric and carpet. Some marks are permanent, so we can’t promise every stain will lift.
Everyday smells usually live in fabric, carpets and soft surfaces, so cleaning those materials is the first step. If a smell persists once its source has been removed or cleaned, the optional O-Zone Odour Removal add-on (£50, about 30 minutes) can follow. Ozone cannot fix an untreated source.
Heavily soiled vehicles, severe stains, embedded pet hair and persistent odours may require assessment, additional time or a separate quotation. Mould and biohazards are excluded.
The Deep Clean is a full valet, not paint correction, ceramic preparation or an unlimited restoration. If you want longer-term paint protection, see our ceramic coating packages.
Not included: paint correction or scratch removal; wheel, seat or child-seat removal; engine-bay cleaning; child-seat cleaning or refitting; mould, bodily fluids, needles or other biohazards; disposal of personal contents; or guaranteed removal of permanent stains, embedded pet hair or odour sources.
The full valet price depends on the size of your car, from £150 for a small hatchback to £200 for a large SUV.
Examples are a guide; the actual body style and footprint determine the category. Optional add-ons: Pet Hair Removal £30 and O-Zone Odour Removal £50.
AquaGleam is based in Hellaby, Rotherham (S66), and covers eligible addresses within a 20-mile radius of S66 8HB. That includes car valeting in Rotherham and qualifying parts of Sheffield and Doncaster. Coverage depends on the exact postcode, which you enter when booking.
A £100 minimum applies to addresses more than 10 miles from our base. As The Deep Clean starts at £150, it already meets that minimum.
Google reviews from AquaGleam customers
“Superb job getting rid of an old stale smoke smell in the car I just bought. We went for the deep clean. The leather seats in our car are now immaculate. Great communication throughout and kept us well informed. Even offered to come back if the smell hadn't gone. Would 100% recommend.”
“My car was in a sorry state until I was introduced to AquaGleam, my friend had hers done a while ago. I cannot believe the transformation of the car, the seats inside look brand new! Jamie is certainly very meticulous on his work and the 5 hours planned was almost 6! He's very dedicated at what he does and is excellent in his workmanship.”
The Deep Clean takes approximately 5 hours. Heavily soiled vehicles may need assessment or extra time, and the order of work can change with the car's condition.
A mini valet is usually a quick wash, vacuum and wipe-down, while a full valet cleans the interior and exterior in much more detail. We don't offer mini valets: The Deep Clean is our full valet, and returning customers can book a Maintenance Clean after a completed AquaGleam Deep Clean.
We bring our own water, so you don't need an outside tap. Interior extraction may need access to electricity, and the car must be on safe, legal hardstanding with room to open the doors and work around it.
Reasonable pet-hair removal is included. For additional embedded hair, the Pet Hair Removal add-on (£30) is available with The Deep Clean. Complete removal of embedded hair is not guaranteed.
The Deep Clean is priced by vehicle size: Small £150, Medium £165, Large £185 and XL £200. Optional add-ons include Pet Hair Removal (£30) and O-Zone Odour Removal (£50).
The Deep Clean: approximately 5 hours, from £150, at your home or workplace
