David Hughes

David is a lifelong petrolhead and a former amateur racing driver who competed on UK club circuits for the best part of a decade. These days he keeps his racing licence current, but spends most weekends polishing the cars he loves rather than chasing lap times.

He writes for Valetly to pass on the small habits that make a big difference — the difference between a car that's washed and a car that's truly looked after. Expect plain-English advice grounded in actual track and garage time.

When he isn't writing, David can usually be found arguing about tyre pressures or hunting down the perfect drying towel.
