Welcome to PJL Auto Care, your local choice for professional car detailing and valeting right here in Nottingham. I’m Patrick and I launched this business to bring a personal, family-feel service to our community, ensuring every vehicle receives the highest level of care.

My journey started at a young age with a deep-seated passion for cars. What began as a hobby – meticulously cleaning vehicles for friends and family – has evolved into a professional pursuit. I decided to turn my expertise into PJL Auto Care because I believe every driver deserves that “new car” feeling.

I treat every vehicle as if it were my own, ensuring you feel that same sense of pride every time you get behind the wheel.

I take great pride in the satisfaction a clean vehicle brings to my customers.

Whether it’s the pristine finish of your ride or the professional, friendly conversation we share, I am dedicated to providing a superior experience.

all model experience

From daily-driver Fiestas to luxury Range Rovers, I have worked on a diverse range of vehicles.

I understand that your car is a significant investment; regardless of its make or price, every vehicle receives the same rigorous attention to detail and specialised treatment.

My goal is to exceed your expectations every time I pick up a microfiber cloth.

Our Professional Valeting Process

At PJL Auto Care, I follow a meticulous step-by-step process to ensure your vehicle is treated with the highest level of care. My method is designed to protect your paintwork while achieving a true “factory finish”.

The PJL 4-Step Valeting Process

  • Wheels First: The ‘Shoes’ of the Vehicle
    I consider them the shoes of the vehicle; by cleaning them first, I ensure that heavy brake dust and road contaminants are not transferred onto your car’s bodywork during the rest of the wash. I go beyond the surface, fully cleaning the wheel arches, behind the rims, and the brake calipers to restore that showroom look.

  • The Essential Pre-Wash
    Before any physical contact is made with your paint, I perform a thorough pre-wash. This stage is vital as it breaks up stubborn dirt and provides lubrication for the stages to come. My pre-wash process removes up to 80% of surface contaminants before a sponge ever touches the car, significantly reducing the risk of swirl marks.

  • Safe Contact Wash
    For the main wash, I use a professional two-bucket method: one bucket for fresh soap application and one for rinsing. Both buckets are fitted with grit guards to trap dirt at the bottom, ensuring only clean, lubricated water touches your vehicle. This is the gold standard for minimising scratches and preserving your paintwork’s integrity.

  • Deep Decontamination
    Once the car is clean, I move on to the decontamination phase to restore the “factory gloss” feel:

    • Tar & Glue Removal: I target and safely dissolve tough road stains that a standard wash cannot move.
    • Clay Towel Treatment: I use a specialised clay towel to pick up microscopic, hard-to-see contaminants.

    The result is bodywork that is as smooth as glass and a finish that reflects the pride I take in my work.
