Mobile car valeting in SN7 (Faringdon & Stanford in the Vale) — nobody's claimed it yet.

The driveways. Start at Faringdon and drive any lane outward: village semis first, then the long-drive houses — commuter SUVs, tow cars, and interiors that smell of wet spaniel. The distances look like the problem and turn out to be the moat — no rival drives out here on spec, so the round that exists, keeps. Call it a new-keys district — some 327 recorded sales a year — and every arrival is a household picking its local trades off a blank list, with search doing the picking.

The parking. Gates, cattle grids and gravel are the daily furniture of this patch — none of it a problem, all of it a timetable. Weather and ground get a vote in winter — gravel drains and grass doesn't, and a seasoned round knows which forecourts hold a van in January. Regionally the tap water runs hard — a fact every dark-coloured car here advertises after a careless rinse — which is why the spot-free final rinse is standard kit on serious local rounds.

The round. The SN7 round works around Faringdon, Stanford in the Vale, Longcot, Great Coxwell and Uffington. Around 6,458 households keep cars here, and the ones who take a monthly valeter keep them — same drive, same finish, year after year. That's not a lead list — that's a round, built once and kept gleaming.
