Valeting in Douglas: what you're working with.
Written valeter to valeter. This is the ground truth the lead apps have never stood on — at seven in the morning, with the tank full.
The driveways. The sea decides the car care out here: airborne salt on every panel, and paint that ages faster than the mainland's unless somebody intervenes. Season work stacks on top of the locals — hire cars turned around, holiday-let arrivals, the summer influx — an island diary runs in two gears.
The parking. The round answers to the sailing times and the forecast, not to any parking sign. Everybody knows the van by month two, which makes punctuality a public record and reliability the entire brand. Softish water regionally takes the mineral fight off the job sheet — what's left is the trade's real work: decon, interiors, protection, gloss.
The round. The IM1 round works around . Every IM1 owner who goes looking for a valeter lands on one page — this one. That's not a lead list — that's a round, built once and kept gleaming.
| Job | Typical price |
|---|---|
| Mini valet / maintenance wash | £29–£38 |
| Full valet | £60–£84 |
| Interior-only valet | £30–£45 |
| Machine polish / stage-1 correction | £110–£180 |
| Ceramic coating | from £210 |
| Maintenance plan (monthly, per visit) | from £26 |
| Local going rates from our regional price model. The IM1 holder sets their own prices — we never touch the money. | |
What owning IM1 is actually worth
Put it the way you'd put it on the driveway: at local rates, three to eight full valets cover the whole year's fee — and a kept maintenance client compounds on top, year after year. Unlike a lead app, the second client doesn't cost you a penny more.
