Mobile Valeting in Portobello
Mobile car valeting in Portobello, Joppa, Duddingston and Brunstane — seaside grime and salt air dealt with properly, at your own front door.
Car valeting and detailing in Portobello, brought to you
Portobello is Edinburgh's seaside, and a car parked a street back from the promenade lives with sand, salt spray and the gulls. Stephen covers Portobello, Joppa, Duddingston, Brunstane and the Milton Road side of town from his base in Midlothian, which is only a short run up the A1.
The salt is the thing to deal with. It dulls paint, gets into the wheels and door shuts and will not rinse off with a normal wash. The Standard Valet includes paint decontamination and a six-month sealant, which is the right fix; the Deep Clean goes further for a car that has spent years by the sea, and the Winter Protection add-on seals it up before the grit arrives.
Most Portobello streets are a mix of Victorian villas with a drive and tenements with street parking. Either is fine: a drive is simplest, a street space works if the car can stay put for the booking. Travel to Portobello is included in the from-price.
