- After an extensive clean

How Our Car Maintenance Wash Plan Works
Our car maintenance wash plan is a regular valet for your vehicle, carried out weekly or monthly after it has had one of our Extensive Cleans. The Extensive Clean brings the car to a clean, decontaminated and protected starting point, and each maintenance wash that follows keeps it at that standard, inside and out.
Every visit is a full Maintenance Wash, and each one gets the same careful hand wash as the rest of our work. Visits can take place at home or at work through our mobile car valeting service, or at our unit if that suits you better, and the price of each visit is set by the size of your vehicle.

The Same Careful Order on Every Visit
Each visit on the plan is a full Maintenance Wash, carried out in the same careful order every time. The outside is cleaned from the wheels and arches to the glass, washed by hand with the two bucket method and finished with a detailer spray or polish, so the paintwork, wheels and glass are left clean after every visit.
Inside, the seats, mats and carpets are vacuumed, the dash, trims and door panels are wiped down and the glass is cleaned, so the cabin is kept as fresh as the outside. Please make sure all valuables are cleared from the vehicle before each visit, so every area can be reached and cleaned properly.

Why Regular Safe Washing Keeps Paint at Its Best
Most swirl marks come from unsafe washing and drying, when grit picked up on the road is rubbed across the paint. Each maintenance wash loosens that dirt with a citrus pre wash and snow foam first, then uses the two bucket method so grit stays in the rinse bucket and off the paint, before the car is dried with microfibre towels.
Regular safe washing also matters if your car has a coating. Our ceramic, graphene and self healing coatings protect for 3 to 5 years, and keeping the surface clean with safe washes helps a coating keep performing as it should throughout that time, so the plan and a coating work well together.
Been using Ride Effect for a few years now, had all my cars ceramic coated and maintained monthly. Can’t rate them high enough, amazing service always! Highly recommended!

A car that is cleaned safely and regularly stays showroom fresh inside and out, and keeping it that way helps protect its value. When the time comes to sell, the paintwork, wheels and cabin have been looked after all along, without long gaps in which dirt has been left to build up on the car.
If your car is leased, the plan can also help you avoid end of lease charges. Regular care throughout the lease keeps the paint, wheels, glass and interior in good order, so the car is clean and well presented when the time comes to hand it back at the end of the agreement.
What Each Visit Costs
Each visit on the plan is priced as a Maintenance Wash for your size of vehicle. These are starting prices, and they may vary depending on location. Once you choose your vehicle size and how often you would like a wash, the plan calendar on this page shows the starting price of each visit across the year.
Your first booking is the Extensive Clean that begins the plan. It is priced by size in the same way, starting from £160 for a small car, and it resets the car inside and out so that each maintenance wash afterwards has a clean, protected finish to look after.
- Small, for example a Smart Car: from £65 a visit
- Medium, for example a Mercedes C Class: from £75 a visit
- Large, for example an Audi A8: from £85 a visit
- Extra Large, for example a Mercedes G Class: from £95 a visit
Joining Our Maintenance Plan
Joining starts with an Extensive Clean, which gives the paintwork six months of glossy protection and deep cleans the cabin. Once that is done, you choose weekly or monthly maintenance washes and we agree with you where and when each visit takes place, so the plan fits around your week.
To get started, get in touch by phone or WhatsApp on 07734 374012, by email at [email protected] or through our booking form. Let us know the vehicle, its size, where it is kept and how often you would like it washed, and we will arrange the Extensive Clean that begins your plan.
What Is a Car Maintenance Wash Plan?
A car maintenance wash plan is a regular valet, carried out weekly or monthly, that keeps your vehicle clean and cared for inside and out. With Ride Effect, each visit is a full Maintenance Wash, and the plan begins once your vehicle has had one of our Extensive Cleans.
Do I Need an Extensive Clean Before Joining the Plan?
Yes, the plan begins with one of our Extensive Cleans. It brings the car to a clean, decontaminated and protected starting point, and each maintenance wash after that keeps it at that standard. The Extensive Clean starts from £160 for a small car, rising with the size of the vehicle.
How Much Does Each Visit on the Plan Cost?
Each visit costs from £65 for a small car, from £75 for a medium car, from £85 for a large car and from £95 for an extra large vehicle, the same starting prices as a Maintenance Wash. Prices may vary depending on location, and the plan calendar on this page shows the price for your vehicle size.
What Does Each Maintenance Wash Include?
Each maintenance wash includes cleaned wheels and arches, a citrus pre wash, snow foam, a two bucket hand wash with a pH neutral shampoo, microfibre drying, a detailer spray or polish, dressed tyres and trims and clean glass. Inside, the cabin is vacuumed, including the seats, mats and carpets, and the dash, trims and door panels are wiped clean.
Where Do the Maintenance Washes Take Place?
Maintenance washes can be carried out on your drive, in your workplace car park or at our unit, whichever suits you. For a visit at home or at work, the vehicle needs space around it and all valuables cleared beforehand, and prices may vary depending on location.
Can a Maintenance Plan Help Avoid End of Lease Charges?
Yes, regular maintenance washes can help you avoid end of lease charges by keeping a leased vehicle clean and cared for throughout the lease. Each visit cleans the wheels, paintwork, glass and interior with a safe method, so the car can be kept showroom fresh throughout the lease.
Is the Plan Suitable for a Car With a Ceramic Coating?
Yes, the plan suits a coated car, because safe and regular washing helps a coating keep performing. Each visit uses snow foam, a two bucket hand wash with a pH neutral shampoo and microfibre drying, the kind of careful wash that helps a ceramic, graphene or self healing coating keep performing over its 3 to 5 years.
