About Venture

About Lee

Hi, I’m Lee. I founded Venture Detailing Ltd not to build a massive commercial empire, but as a passionate retirement project to stay active, healthy, and connected with fellow car enthusiasts.

Because this business is my hobby and my craft, I operate completely differently to standard multi-bay detailing studios or rushed supermarket car washes:

  • Zero Rushing: I only take on one vehicle at a time. If a vehicle requires two full days of intensive, microscopic paint correction to achieve that perfect mirror reflection—like a recent Range Rover Autobiography SV I completed—then that is exactly what it gets. I never skimp on products or cut corners to rush to the next job.
  • Premium Chemistry Only: I only use world-class, non-caustic, and biodegradable products from brands I personally trust, like Bilt Hamber and Menzerna. If it isn't safe enough for my own vehicle, it doesn't touch yours.
  • A Personal, Mobile Service: I bring my entirely self-contained, eco-friendly setup straight to your driveway or unit across Essex. You get to speak directly with the person doing the work, and you can watch the entire transformation happen.

I don't look to book out months in advance or chase volume. Instead, I choose to work with clients who respect their vehicles and appreciate genuine, old-school craftsmanship.


My Philosophy: Integrity Over Profit

You Pay for My Skills, But You Also Pay for My Care

Because I am 60, retired, and run this business as a craft, I have the luxury of putting ethics before a quick payday. I do not need to chase every pound, which means I will never take on a job—or push a correction stage too far—if it compromises the safety of your vehicle or your paintwork.

In detailing, knowing when to stop is just as important as knowing how to polish. When working on six-figure exotics or luxury vehicles, clients often ask me to push deeper into heavy scratches or clear coat imperfections. If my diagnostic tools and experience tell me that going further will permanently damage a panel or ruin an expensive component, I will refuse on principle.

Less experienced operators will blindly take your money and run the risk. I won't.

When you hand your keys to Venture Detailing, you are hiring decades of life experience, common sense, and unmatched attention to detail. You pay for my skills, but you also pay for my care. If a job cannot be completed safely and correctly, I will tell you straight.
