Crystal Lacquer Coating: Phillip Leah, Monaco

I recently had my Range Rover detailed by Charles and the finish is amazing. I had the exterior machine polished and finished with a protective lacquer to keep that glossy showroom look.

The alloys have wheel armour protection to keep the brake dust and dirt at bay. Clear vision glass makes it a lot easier driving in the rain as it just beads meaning you always have excellent visibility and with bugs being repelled no smears on the windshield.

With the leather guard on the seats, they also stay looking like new with virtually no maintenance and the protection on the carpets means I never need worry about anything spilling as it will just roll off.

All in all, brilliant service. Well worth the money. I would definitely have it on my next car and recommend it to any one wanting to keep their car looking like they just bought it.

I have a black 1999 Audi A3 which has been well looked after but the years of sunlight and the usual minor bumps from adjacent vehicles had taken their toll on the paintwork, which needed a bit of TLC.

Riviera Valeting was recommended to me so I rang Charles and immediately felt confident that with his enthusiasm and experience he would do a top class job on my car.

When I went to collect the car, apart from the registration plates being the same, I thought I was looking at a different car, the paintwork was sparkling, the tyres and wheels were clean and shiny, the windscreens were clear, and even some of the little scrapes and bumps had gone. The interior had also been thoroughly cleaned and it looked and smelt almost like a new car.

A couple of months later I decided to sell the car and the first viewer made me an offer higher than I'd expected, mainly due, I'm sure, to the pristine condition of the paintwork.

Charles is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about cars in general and has experience in caring for everything from white vans to Lamborghinis. My next car will certainly get the Riviera Valeting treatment.

Charles took on the task of restoring the interior of a 2nd hand car purchase. The heavily stained seats and carpet were thoroughly shampooed and encrusted dog hairs removed. We and the previous owners of the vehicle were amazed by the improvement.

As Captain of a Privately owned Superyacht I am also charged with looking after the owners classic mercedes sports car. When it had started to look a bit tired I called in Charles for a valeting quotation.

Charles provided me with a 'menu' of possible options and then offered his expert advice to help me choose the best options for our particular budget and application.

The work was carried out quickly and expertly, taking years off the car and it now looks sparkling fresh both inside and out.

Highly recommended.

Riviera valeting did a great job on our family car and left it like new. Prompt, efficient service and a good price!

Full Service: Benoit Sigwald, Valbonne

My wife's car is a 7 seater that is abused day in and out by 3 young kids, a labrador and a few trip with the football team on a regular basis. The inside was a nightmare with food between the leather seats, sweets glued to windows and car panels, dog hair everywhere and the overall dust layer encrusted into the plastics. The outside was okayish, with the odd scratches here and there of a big car in the cote d'azur but the paint was a bit dull.

Charles took a full day of very hard work to turn our mess into a new sparkling car. As you might have guessed, we are not that fussy about our cars, but I was amazed at the difference.

After polishing and waxing the paint, I discovered a deepness and richness of the color that I had not seen when we bought it a few years ago, the scratches were gone. It looked just fantastic from the outside (I could see the waxed paint still after more than 6 months). The inside was even better, the leather seats came back immaculate, no more dog hair. We all felt in love with the car again.

As a family we promised each other that we will take care of the car, no more cookies and chocolate pasta on the seats, no drawings, no nothing... Wishful thinking you might say, as such Charles is scheduled to come again and do his magic - that is easier than training the kids ;-)
