What we do
Pick the Service Your Car Needs
Choose by what your car needs: a regular hand wash, a deeper clean inside and out, or work on the paintwork. All three are done at the branch. If you need the car washed where it is parked, the mobile car wash comes to you.
At the branch
Car Wash
A hand wash and dry with an interior vacuum, tyre shine and mag clean as standard. Move up a package for high definition wax, a hand polish or an engine clean.
Car Valet
Goes past a wash to clean the inside as well: seats, carpets, plastics and glass, along with the bodywork. For the deepest clean, our full valet, the Royal Treatment, deep cleans the seats, carpets and roof lining.
Car Detailing
Care for the paintwork rather than just cleaning it. Choose from a claybar treatment, hand polish, machine buff and high definition wax, plus headlight restoration, to bring the shine back to dull or tired paint.

Wash, Valet or Detail: What's the Difference?
The main difference is where the work goes: routine cleaning, a deeper interior clean, or specialist attention to the paintwork.
| Service | Best for |
|---|---|
| Car Wash | Keeping the car clean with a regular hand wash, interior vacuum and wheel clean. |
| Car Valet | Giving the interior and exterior a more thorough clean, especially after heavy use or before selling. |
| Car Detailing | Improving the finish of the paintwork, treating swirl marks or dullness, and restoring clarity to cloudy headlights where the relevant treatment is available. |
If you are unsure what your car needs, tell the team at the branch what you want to improve. They will help you decide if a regular wash is enough.
Prices vary by branch. Check the Thunder Brothers price list before visiting.
