Every detail starts with our Decontamination Wash and climbs from there. We check for minor marks and scratches before polishing to get the best result, and we highly recommend the swirl-free finish to make you fall back in love with your car.

Zvizzer 3 year ceramic paint protection

Ceramic coating uses nanotechnology to bond a layer of protection to your paintwork. It doesn’t wash away or break down like wax, so your car stays cleaner and glossier for longer.

  • Applied to your brand new motor or any used vehicle
  • Some older cars need an exterior detail first, so the paint is pristine before it’s sealed in
  • Hydrophobic, hard, heat and weather resistant
  • A 5 year ceramic protection is also available

No coating is permanent unless it’s looked after. Waxing is a quarterly expense, ceramic is a one-off investment for the serious car lover. Call us for a price on your car.

About Car Lovers (Est. 2004)

Car Lovers is a family operated valeting and detailing company in Navan, run by Michael and Naoimh O'Brien, Certified Detailer & Professional Valetor (CD - PV).

Michael started cleaning cars after coming home from Australia in the early 2000s, and opened Car Lovers in 2004. Over twenty years on, we’re a family run business with 6 staff members, and our 3 children helping in the background. Our passion is cars, and we strive to bring great service and an unbelievable standard every time.

Our team is fully trained in transforming even the most tired vehicles to the showroom condition they once were, from our new purpose-built workshop. Every car we detail is an advertisement for our business. As the saying goes, “you are only as good as your last job”. We’re proud to place our Car Lovers sticker (optional) and our logo air freshener in each car.

As seen on Virgin Media’s Cleaning Up Ireland

In 2026 we were asked onto the Virgin Media One series Cleaning Up Ireland, to let viewers and customers see what happens behind the scenes at Car Lovers. We’re known for taking on the jobs others turn away from, from everyday family cars to rare classics and cars left in a state nobody else would touch.

Since the show we’ve had two newspaper interviews, in The Sun and the Sunday Times, and a 10 minute interview on LMFM radio. All episodes are on the Virgin Media Play app.

We can renovate Cars, SUVs, MPVs, Jeeps, Vans, Mini-buses, Campers, Boats, Trucks and even Tractors. We also offer sign writing removal, paint and overspray removal, full machine buffing and paint correction, from your average Irish car to exotic sports cars.

A self-sufficient workshop

We’re probably one of the only self-sufficient car valeting and detailing companies around. Every wash runs on our own power and our own water.

  • Our own electricity

    Harvested with PV solar panels.

  • Our own clean water

    We wash with harvested rainwater, filtered on site.

  • Nothing wasted

    We recycle all our waste and use only biodegradable products.

Couldn't be happier with the service from Michael and the team at Carlovers. The attention to detail was second to none. The car came back looking absolutely immaculate, inside and out. Every surface was spotless, the interior was fresh and clean, and the paintwork looked fantastic. It genuinely felt like driving a new car again. It's clear that Michael and his team take great pride in their work and go the extra mile to deliver a top-quality finish. Highly recommend Carlovers to anyone looking for a first-class valet. I'll definitely be back.

Professionalism as it's best. Great service, great people. Car looks and smells brand new. Thanks Car lovers team.
Bernard Smyth · Google review, October 2026
Just collected my car from Michael and the crew, it was an absolutely amazing job! I got the Full Valet, and it was better than I could have imagined, I am so delighted. My car is like brand new (which isn't easy for an 06!) it smells amazing and is absolutely spotless. Will definitely be back, worth every penny! Such nice customer service too, accommodated my dad dropping the car down early for convenience. Thank you so much.
Aoife Ryan · Google review, March 2025
Huge thanks to Michael and his team at Carlovers. This is by far the best car valet that I've ever experienced. The quality of the work and the finish is exceptional. I was blown away when I came to collect my old Hilux. They worked on it in such a way that they breathed new life into the car, making every Euro is spent on this worth it.
