Superior Valet

Coming soon to a reel near you, SVD x GMA

Episode 2 of collect & perfect airing tomorrow 7pm on YouTube! Apologies for the delay 🎥

A couple of days spent perfecting this BMW M340i for a long term customer, Fully paint corrected and wearing Synergy Ceramics throughout 💧

Tomorrow @ 7pm, we finally bring you the long awaited first episode of “Collect & Perfect”. Thank you to everyone who’s made this possible over the last couple of weeks, we hope you enjoy and can’t wait to drop this one for you l!

A lot of you on here will know of our business origin, however we do have alot of new people around since our last mobile post… we share a lot of high end detailing work but the mobile game is still our bread and butter.

since 2020 we’ve provided high end mobile valeting services direct to your door, this Sepang Blue Audi S5 received our “superior” valet today in order to get the customer ready for its sale! A very clean example that will not stick around for long.

To book a mobile valet for your vehicle please send a message to this page or enquire through the link in our bio! 📲

21 years apart, however I finally got my hands on the car that started it all for me, Ferrari 360 Modena finished in Grigio Titanio

The 992 GT3, does it get better?

Would like to extend a huge thank you to .uk for coming down to our HQ today and giving us a full days tuition on their lineup of professional detailing equipment.

Rupes are one of the largest detailing brands on the planet, having direct access to a specialist is incredibly valuable & is an absolute credit to their brand, every day is an opportunity to learn and blimey did we take a thing or 2 from today, touching upon multiple advanced polishing systems and techniques to truly give our customers that superior finish.

Many thanks to for setting this up, they are the go to stockist for any equipment or products!

Hit somewhat of a milestone today, this Friday we were joined by Albi from .

Albi marks the 20th business we have professionally trained up to take on detailing jobs, expand their businesses capabilities and personal skill sets.

The subject today was this stunning, tastefully modified BMW M135i - take a look at the pictures for yourselves and make your mind up as to whether Albi is a capable detailer. I’ll drop a reel later on this week with a full overview of the vehicle.

On a personal note I can’t tell you how good it makes me feel to bring a business into our space for the day, get to know them & understand their goals, desires and plans for the future. Then actively play a part in helping them reach this. It’s a true pleasure and honour to be a part of the journey for these guys and I’d like to extend a thank you to who pushed me to start offering detailer training over a year ago when I was having thoughts along the lines of who the F*** am I to tell people how to do this job…

We look forward to welcoming as many more of you as possible over the years, really excited for the ones we have coming up in our diary - this is easily the aspect of our business I enjoy the most.

🧼 ANNOUNCEMENT 🧼

After the success of our first try at this, Safe Wash Saturday is back! This Saturday the 7th Of January @ our detailing studio. Simply show up & receive a full Safe-wash on your vehicle for £20 (£25 SUV). No appointment required, first come first serve from 10AM.

ADDRESS: Unit 4, Knightsridge East, Livingston. EH54 8RA.

Last year we had the pleasure of performing a perfection level detail over the course of an entire week, 80+ man hours, on this absolutely incredible E46 BMW M3, this example is 17 years old…

mega rare, finished in “Ruby Red” (1 of 6 in existence I believe) The car had recently undergone a complete rebuild, the final stage was for ourselves to come in, perfect the paint & protect absolutely every inch using Synergy X Ceramic coatings. No stone was left unturned with this one, it went directly from us to cleanfest 2022 where it immediately picked up a prize on the day.

I genuinely have so much content of this car that it’s hard to know where to start so expect to see abit more coming soon, going through the archives from last year and I’m shocked at how much I never got onto this page.

Back to work with a bang today. C5 Corvette from 2004 receiving the works today along with an inspection ahead of detailing work that’ll be carried out in the future!

Getting back into a routine after a considerable amount of time off, thank to everyone who’s reached out to resume their regular slots! By the end of this evening all of our maintenance clients will have been offered a new slot for January. If you’re not a part of our regular cleaning programme don’t worry there will still be spaces available for new and existing customers to book a visit, get in touch via our DMs 📲

Superior Valet turns 2… afternoon all James here. It’s been a while since I’ve checked in with you all….

Currently on way back from spending a month travelling Asia so it’s time to get back into the swing of things. Firstly thank you to the boys Connor and Kyle for keeping us going these past few weeks, gave me a much needed break. Other than freezing cold water I’m absolutely buzzing to get back to work, a few things going on behind the scenes ill let you in on soon but 2023 is going to be massive for us and it’s all thanks to you lot for consistently choosing us when it comes to Professional Valeting & Detailing work.

Back to business as usual as of the 21st, off for Christmas Day but not much else 😂 please get in touch if you’d like to book in.

Can’t believe it’s been 2 whole years since our first valet, many successes and lessons along the way, work to be done & progress to be made. Looking forward to turning it up beyond 100% this coming year, let’s get it 💧💨

Winter protection, what is it and why do I need it?

As we approach winter months, freezing temperatures take their toll on your paintwork with over 3 months of freezing rain, snow, ice and severe road salt. This is when your car needs protection the most.

Consisting of a safe wash, decontamination, interior detail and a hard wax to protect your paint.

Pricing from £85, simply message to get booked in. Any questions? Send us a DM!

I sometimes forget that I do this for a living… I stared this venture to be around cars more but never in a million years dreamed that I’d have access to one’s I’ve idolised since being a kid.

Huge huge thanks to for the loan of pride and joy 1994 R32 Skyline GTR, a proper halo car of mine.

Another thanks goes to for the shots you see here, capturing not only the R32, but an original 4 door 1972 skyline aswell, a pairing that you will probably struggle to find again any time soon… 🇯🇵

Yaris GR - Tiffany Blue - guaranteed head turner.

The ultimate B road hot hatch and a future classic.

The Toyota Supra, this example owned by pushing 500+ BHP straight out its full titanium exhaust system… sounds as good as it looks.

This visit consisted of us carrying out our “Superior” Package. A comprehensive decontamination process is completed before finishing the vehicle off with a highly durable Ceramic infused wax for maximum beeds. In interior deep clean is also standard with this service, including a full leather/fabric protection process.

Priced from £100, if you’re interested in booking your vehicle in with us for this protection package please send us a DM! 💧📲

Managed to haggle a day off yesterday and attend cleanfest with the boys …

big shoutout to for the loan of his stunning Audi TTS for the weekend. Couple of trophies picked up, best club stand along with top 5 outdoor for the Ruby Red BMW M3 we worked on in preparation for this event! Looking forward to next time 🏆

Porsche Taycan 4S - finished in crayon grey, my favourite spec for one of these.

Looked after Bi weekly to ensure it’s kept looking this good all the time 💧

Social media, the highlight reel of all our best moments. I’ve been especially guilty of this since we started up a year and a half ago, as much as I’ve enjoyed the success I’ve found with this company there are of-course setbacks that come along with it.

The majority of you will be aware that we recently expanded ourselves into a premises, Superior HQ, a huge step forward for our business and an aspect that was truly flourishing. Sadly due to factors out with our control we were asked to leave at a moments notice and for the last couple of weeks have been without a unit to do our high end detailing work.

Initially this was a majorly demoralising setback, something that I had not only invested so much of my time in, however alot of other peoples time also had been taken away in an instant. For a short period of time I lost interest in trying to find somewhere new and was just going to coast along pretending like nothing had happened.

Thankfully, an incredible opportunity was spawned out of this and I’m hugely excited to announce that we have found a new home and will be moving in at the end of this month. For now I won’t reveal any more, however this one is mega.

I want to take a quick moment to thank Rob down at RD Motorsport who set us up in our old space initially and was in our corner when it came to attempting to keep us in there. Also the huge amount of support from friends, family, other detailers & even customers offering us temporary accommodation in their units / garages, the offers are not forgotten.

It would have been easy to pretend like none of this happened & we simply moved locations, that wouldn’t be fair to all of you as I like to think the open and honest relationship I have with my clientele is what’s made us so successful in the first place.

Thanks again for all your support, buzzing to show you the new digs 👊🏽

A live upload from my most recent piece of work: brand new delivery mileage VW Arteon Shooting-break!

Bespoke package carried out on behalf of the customer. The focus here was to add a professional level of protection to every surface on the vehicle.

Wheels Glass & Paint coated with Synergy Lite Ceramic coating, hugely versatile and strong product.

All interior surfaces coated with Surface Guards.

Something you’d be interested in? Your vehicle doesn’t need to be new to undergo this level of care, however if you do have a new car coming protecting it from day one is never a bad idea. 💧

Would you class this as a disaster detail? Sometimes you just need to turn up and get stuck in…

We post a lot of nice stuff, but to avoid any doubt the mobile valeting game is still our bread and butter. Book anything in and this is the level you can expect.

Stepping out of your comfort zone. Today, we were joined by Daniel from .premiumvaleting for a full day of 1-1 detailer training on this stunningly rare BMW Z4M Coupe.

Before today, Daniel had never laid hands on a machine polisher or attempted any level of enhancement work. He wasn’t the only one to pick up a host of new skills today as this was my first attempt at providing a comprehensive training day that would not only allow him to take his business in a new direction and add value, but also have a good time along the way and present the information in a way that was easy to follow and remember.

I’m glad to report that Daniel absolutely smashed it out the park, guy is a natural. Left with a smile on his face and a massive level of enthusiasm that he will now take and implement on details of his own.

I want to take moment to thank everyone for the support today, had a moment to reflect on the last 12 months and remember the training we embarked on not even this time last year. A genuine gift to be in a position to offer skills and knowledge to others which will enable them to grow and succeed. 💧👊🏽

Sunday the 22nd of May. This BMW M2 Comp marks the end of what’s felt like the busiest week of my life, hosting guests from another part of the country and my first stab at training up others along with keeping on-top of a full diary of Customers… it’s not easy, but it feels good when you get to the end of the week with everything complete and your network & abilities expanded. 🗣

Abit about the car, Hockenheim Silver 2019 BMW M2 competition. The focus here was to extract as much of a result within the confines of 1 full day. This vehicle has been well looked after and had been previously detailed when it was new, today I used 9 hours to add that final % taking this from a good looking car to a great looking car. Some major defects removed & new 12 month Synergy Ceramics applied.

Want me for a day? Drop us a message. Have a great week 📆

Perks of the “job”. Been a pleasure to host & these past couple of days. The first of many 🏆
