no, i mean a proper valet......steam cleaned seats, new magic tree, wash.... 3 stage polish, glass polished etc.

when went to newcastle i had to deliver some cars to a valeter for my uncle, they did such a job but it was on account, so i dont know the price.

You can pay up to something like £10k for a valet.

i remember there was instructions on how to use all the meguairs (sp) range which involved washing, polishing, washing, waxing etc said it'd take about 8 hours and there was a company who'd do it for 100 notes!!!!! Which i thought was bloody good.

can i ask as i have never had a professional valet what is the point??

I understand that you don't want to get cold etc, but surely you'll just drive down the road and it's all dirty???
