The process

  1. 01

    Pre-soak

    Thick foam softens road film so most dirt rinses off before we touch the paint.

  2. 02

    Hand wash

    Clean mitts, two buckets, top to bottom. Wheels get their own tools.

  3. 03

    Dry + finish

    Plush towel dry, gloss spray, then glass and tires.

Optional upgrades

  • Clay + iron decon
  • Ceramic sealant upgrade
  • Trim restore

Questions

Is a hand wash really safer than an automatic wash?

Yes, when it’s done properly. Spinning brushes and recycled water are the most common cause of fine swirl marks. We use clean mitts and a two-bucket method.

Does Express include the interior?

No — Express is exterior only. The interior starts with our Standard detail.
