Summer in Liverpool is the perfect time to enjoy the open road, whether you're heading to the Wirral for a weekend escape, cruising down the docks, or just making the most of the sunshine. But after months of battling rain, grit, and grime, your car likely needs some serious TLC. That’s where we come in.
At MerseyValet, Liverpool’s trusted mobile car valeting specialists, we know that getting your car summer-ready isn’t just about making it look good - it’s about protecting your investment and making every drive more enjoyable.
Here’s how to give your car a proper summer refresh - without even leaving your driveway.
1. Start with a Deep Exterior Wash
Winter salt, spring mud, and road debris can cling to your car’s exterior, potentially damaging paintwork if left untreated. A summer prep wash should include:
A thorough rinse to remove loose dirt
A high-quality car shampoo application
Attention to hard-to-reach areas like wheel arches and underbody
Follow up with a microfibre towel dry to avoid water spots, especially in the summer sun. For best results, consider a professional wash and wax service for lasting protection and shine.
2. Protect Your Paint with Wax or Sealant
Summer sun might feel great, but UV rays can fade and damage your paint over time. A high-quality wax or ceramic sealant adds a protective layer that keeps your car shining and shields it from:
Sun exposure
Tree sap and bird droppings
Light scratches and contaminants
We offer paint protection packages that last for weeks - or even months - perfect for keeping your vehicle looking its best all summer long.
3. Interior Deep Clean and Detail
From sand to pollen to those sneaky crumbs, summer can leave your car’s interior in chaos. Our mobile interior valet service takes care of:
Full vacuuming, including seats and tight corners
Dashboard, console, and door panel wipe-down
Window cleaning for a streak-free finish
Optional upholstery shampooing or leather treatment
We also tackle stubborn odours with air purifiers and ozone treatments - ideal if your car still smells like wet coats and takeaway from winter.
4. Freshen Up Your Air Con
If your A/C is underperforming or giving off a musty smell, it could be clogged or in need of cleaning. Before the real heat kicks in, we recommend:
Replacing the cabin air filter
Cleaning vents with antibacterial treatment
Checking airflow to ensure cool, fresh air
Most garages can inspect and refresh your A/C system on-site, so you're not left sweltering during Liverpool’s hottest days.
5. Finishing Touches That Matter
The little things make a big impact. Our full valet service includes those often-missed details that really elevate your car’s appearance:
Tyre dressing for that deep black finish
Trim restoration for a like-new look
Air fresheners with fresh, summery scents
With our fully mobile service, you don’t need to leave the house - we come to your home or workplace anywhere in Liverpool.
