Frequently asked questions
What is Live and let shine?
We’re a mobile car wash and detailing service, committed to providing convenient, professional care on your doorstep to keep your car looking at its best—with clear pricing and hassle-free booking.
Which service right is for me?
The answer really depends on what you're after—and how dirty the vehicle is. Want showroom perfection? We’ve got you covered. Just need an ‘Exterior Wash, Wax & Dry’ to make a good impression? No judgment here.
If you’re chasing that pristine, like-new feel, we recommend starting with a ‘Deep Clean’ to get everything back to baseline. From there, a regular ‘Inside & Out’ every month or two keeps things fresh.
For the true car lovers who want their vehicle looking its absolute best—inside, outside, and every fine detail in between—our ‘Prestige Clean’ is the ultimate TLC treatment. It’s half a day of focused care, restoring your pride and joy to a showroom-worthy finish.
How much does it cost?
We believe in transparent pricing to make things simple for you. If you're unsure which service suits your needs, check out the "Which service is right for me?" section above or get in touch with us directly.
If the service you choose ends up being more than necessary, don’t worry — we’ll either adjust the price or focus on providing a more thorough clean, starting with the areas that need it most.

How do you clean?
Every clean starts with care—because your paintwork deserves it.
We begin with a full-body coat of snow foam to remove superficial dirt and follow the trusted two-bucket method with shampoo & wax with premium microfibre cloths. This gentle yet effective process lifts dirt from the surface without causing scratches or swirl marks.
For especially dirty vehicles, we start with a pressure rinse and pre-wash which clings to the paint and loosens heavy dirt, followed by a full-body rinse and a coat of snow foam to ensure as much grime as possible is removed before we make contact with the paint.
Why two buckets—and what’s a grit guard?
The first bucket holds shampoo and wax, where the microfibre mitt is used to clean the car. The second is for rinsing the mitt between panels, ensuring any trapped dirt is safely removed. Grit guards sit at the bottom of each bucket, allowing particles to settle below and stay out of the mitt—preventing that debris from creating swirl marks your vehicle’s surface.
We finish by hand-drying your car with ultra-soft microfibre towels (yes, we have a lot!) to eliminate water spots and leave behind a spotless, streak-free finish.
How can I contact you?
You can reach us by email, WhatsApp, through our contact page, or simply give us a call on 07862244692.
Where shall I park my vehicle?
We can clean your car almost anywhere, but for the best results, we recommend parking in a shaded area whenever possible.
How do I book?
The fastest way to book an appointment is through our booking page, where process takes less than 30 seconds. Alternatively, you may contact us via phone, WhatsApp, email or by using the contact form available on contact page.
What if it rains?
We operate in most weather conditions, and light rain typically does not affect our service — in fact, it can sometimes be preferable to extreme heat. If the weather becomes unsuitable for us to work safely or effectively, we’ll contact you in advance to reschedule at a time that suits you.
Do you require access to water & electric?
Yes, we kindly ask for access to one water tap and one electrical socket within 60 meters of your vehicle. This helps us keep costs down and allows us to focus our time on delivering the best possible service — not refilling tanks.
If access is an issue, please get in touch and we’ll do our best to find a suitable solution.
