Quinta do Lago is about presentation. Whether the car needs a clean before guests arrive, a thorough interior refresh after a long season, or preparation before a sale, the standard here matters. Our wash and detailing studio is in Almancil — a short drive from the estate.
Safe pre-wash, exterior + light interior refresh. In and out within the hour.
Full standard: exterior, interior, plastics, leather care, windows, tyres.
For cars after a real summer: upholstery extraction, vents, rails, boot. Returned like new.
Same price for every car size.
Cars in Quinta do Lago are used in a specific way: driven out for golf, the airport, or a restaurant, then left parked for extended periods — sometimes weeks — in the Algarve sun. Dust settles on every surface. Salt air puts a thin residue on the glass and bodywork. Leather interiors dry out without regular conditioning.
Our detail starts from the outside in. We remove the main dirt through pre-rinsing and dedicated chemistry before any wash media touches the paint. This late-contact approach is the one most commonly skipped by fast-wash services, and it is the primary source of the swirl marks that build up over time on darker cars.
“A Quinta do Lago car that's been parked three weeks under the sun tells me everything before I even open the door — dust on the glass, salt film on the paint. Pre-rinse first, always; that's what keeps the swirl marks off a dark bonnet.”
The 1-hour express wash (€75) is a fast maintenance clean for cars already in good condition — safe pre-wash, exterior wash and a light interior refresh.
The 3-hour detailed wash (€150) is our full standard: exterior and interior, plastics, boot, mats, leather or plastic care, windows, tyres, and quick detailer or protective finish where appropriate. Most Quinta do Lago clients choose this for regular maintenance.
The 8-hour deep wash (€300) is for cars that have been left for an extended period and need real attention: deep cleaning of upholstery, vents, seals, wheel arches, glass work and the right protection for the car's actual condition.
Pre-sale preparation (from €450) prepares the car properly for photographs and viewings — wash, polish where justified, interior, headlights, wheels.
Quinta do Lago has a high proportion of convertibles. Soft tops need a specific wash approach — different products, lower pressure, and a careful dry. We handle convertible roofs as standard, using the right chemistry for the roof material rather than the standard wash process.
The 8-hour deep wash (€300) is built for exactly that: deep cleaning of upholstery, vents, seals and wheel arches, plus the right protection for the car's actual condition. For cars in more regular use, the 3-hour detailed wash (€150) is what most owners on the estate choose.
Yes — soft tops get a specific wash approach: dedicated products, lower pressure and careful drying, handled as standard rather than run through the normal bodywork process.
Collection isn't usually needed — our studio is on Estrada de Vale do Lobo, a short drive from the estate gates — but Quinta do Lago is inside the free 15 km pickup radius if you'd rather not drive the car yourself.
Wash and detailing can be requested via WhatsApp or the booking form. We confirm timing and the right package for the car's current condition.
