Give your cherished vehicle the polished appearance it deserves with our highly effective service, transforming it into a stunning masterpiece.

What is a Wash & Wax?

A Wash and Wax Service is a comprehensive automotive detailing procedure that involves cleaning and rejuvenating the vehicle’s exterior. During this process, the car’s surface is meticulously washed to remove dirt, grime, and contaminants. Additionally, iron decontamination and clay bar treatment are employed to eliminate embedded particles and impurities from the paint, leaving it smooth and free of imperfections. Subsequently, a protective wax coating is applied, forming a shield against environmental elements such as UV rays, rain, and debris. The combination of washing, iron decontamination, and clay bar treatment, along with waxing, leaves the vehicle with a radiant and polished finish, enhancing its overall appearance and preserving the paint’s shine and integrity for an extended period.

Our Wash and Wax Process:

1. Pre-Rinse: 

At the beginning of the wash, clay, and wax service, the vehicle undergoes a comprehensive pre-rinse, during which a gentle stream of water is directed at the exterior to effectively dislodge loose dirt, dust, and debris that have accumulated on the surface. This crucial step ensures that larger particles are safely removed before the main washing process commences.

2. Foam: 

Following the pre-rinse, a premium-grade foam or soap wash solution is applied to the entire exterior of the vehicle. This specialized formulation effectively breaks down stubborn grime and contaminants, encapsulating them in a layer of foam for effortless removal, while being gentle on the paintwork.

3. Hand Wash: 

A thorough hand wash is performed, utilizing soft, microfiber mitts, detailing brushes, and towels. This hands-on approach guarantees that every nook and cranny of the car’s exterior receives personalized attention, leaving no trace of dirt behind. The gentle yet detailed hand wash ensures the paint’s safety while achieving a pristine clean.

4. Rinse: 

Once the hand wash is complete, the vehicle undergoes a rinse to wash away all traces of soap, foam, and dirt, leaving behind a fresh and clean surface ready for the next stages of the process. This careful rinse eliminates any remaining residue, ensuring a spotless finish.

5. Iron Decontamination: 

Moving beyond standard washing, we employ a specialized iron remover that effectively targets and dissolves iron particles that have bonded with the paint surface. These often unseen contaminants can cause oxidation and harm the paint over time. The iron decontamination step is vital for restoring a smooth and flawless surface.

6. Clay Bar Treatment: 

In this critical stage, we utilize a high-quality clay bar to gently remove embedded contaminants such as tree sap, tar, road grime, and other stubborn substances that ordinary washing cannot eliminate. By gliding the clay bar over the paint, we lift away these impurities, resulting in an incredibly smooth and pristine finish.

7. Drying: 

After the meticulous decontamination process, we ensure the car is thoroughly dried to prevent water spots and streaks from marring the freshly cleaned surface. We use soft, lint-free towels and to achieve a pristine, dry exterior.

8. Apply Wax or Sealant: 

The pinnacle of the wash, clay, and wax service is the application of a top-tier wax or sealant. Our carefully selected wax products create a protective layer over the paint, guarding it against harmful UV rays, water spots, and environmental contaminants. Not only does this step enhance the vehicle’s natural shine, but it also preserves the paint’s integrity for an extended period, ensuring long-lasting beauty.

it can be different based on a few things like how big your car is, how dirty it is, and what kind of special cleaning it needs. Usually, for a regular car, it can take around 1 to 2 hours.

What is the difference between an basic exterior wash and a full Wash, Clay, and Wax service?

when we do a basic wash, we clean off the dirt and mess from the outside. But with the wash and wax service, we do more things to make your car really nice. We use something called “clay” to take away hidden bad stuff on the cars paint, and we put on a wax or sealant to keep the paint safe and shiny.

 

If you already have something to protect your car’s outside or you don’t want a protectant, we can do the basic wash but only with a full interior cleaning.

Can I wash my car immediately after getting a Wash, Clay, and Wax service?

You might want to know if you can clean your car right away after getting the Wash, Clay, and Wax service. It’s actually better to wait for about a day, which is around 24 hours.
