The outside work on an Astley car comes down to two things: getting the muck off without marking the paint, and leaving something behind to hold off the weather. We flood the panels first with a citrus pre-wash and a snow foam to float the loose grit away, then wash by hand with the two bucket method so what is left drops into the rinse bucket rather than being ground back over the paint. The wheels are cleaned front and back, barrels included, and the arches flushed out behind them.

Out here the protection is what earns its place. Cars kept along the lanes or down by the canal sit under damp, sappy trees and take on a green film, while anything doing the daily A580 run collects road grime and, come winter, salt. The sealant we put down last makes the rain gather into beads and run off and stops that muck taking hold, so the car keeps its look for weeks and the following wash is half the job.

We cover Astley and the area around it: Astley Green, Higher Green, Blackmoor, Cross Hillock, Astley Moss and beyond (M29).

How it works

Pre-wash and foam

A citrus pre-wash and snow foam soak the dirt and lift what they can before anything touches the paint.

Wheels and arches

Wheels cleaned on the faces and barrels and the arches flushed out, so the dirtiest parts are dealt with first.

Safe contact wash

A two bucket hand wash that rinses grit away rather than grinding it in, then dried with a soft drying towel.

Seal and dress

Paint sealed for up to 12 weeks, tyres dressed and wheels protected, then a final check over in good light.

Exterior Detailing in Astley: common questions

Will an exterior detail deal with the green film off the Astley mosses?

Yes. Cars parked near the moss and the canal pick up a green algae film in the damp, and a proper wash with the right products takes it off without scrubbing at the paint. The sealant afterwards helps slow it coming back between washes.

How long does the sealant hold up on an Astley car?

Up to 12 weeks, give or take, depending on how many miles the car does and how often it gets washed. It keeps the rain beading and the road film from gripping, so a car doing the A580 every day stays cleaner for a good while between visits.

What is the two bucket method and why does it matter?

One bucket has your clean wash mix, the other is for rinsing the mitt. Every time you wipe a panel you rinse the grit off the mitt in the second bucket before going back to the soap, so you are not dragging dirt across the paint. It is the simple reason a hand wash does not swirl the finish the way a sponge and one bucket does.

How long does the paint sealant last?

The sealant we use lasts up to 12 weeks depending on how often the car is driven and washed. It makes rain bead and run off and keeps road dirt from bonding, so the car stays cleaner between visits and the next wash is easier.

Can you get my alloys properly clean?

Yes. We clean the wheels on the faces and the barrels, not just the bits you see, and flush out the arches behind them. Baked on brake dust that has been left a long time sometimes needs extra work, and we will flag anything that will not come back to new.
