Oops, I completely forgot you guys stateside call it detailing while in the UK we call it valeting.
If it wasn't for all the US TV shows we get where they mention valet parking so much, I imagine there'd be people in the UK that would think valet-parking means a car park where they'll clean your car for you while you're away

If a valet is a car wash or car detail I guess, then what do you call valet parking? Wait who's on first?
