Hand Wash & Wax

Every exterior starts with a rinse and a foam soak so grit lifts off before a mitt ever touches the paint, then a two bucket hand wash worked top down. What soap leaves behind comes off next: iron fallout that makes light paint look freckled, tar along the rockers, and the gritty feel a clay bar takes away. Wheels, tires, and the wheel wells get their own tools and their own water so brake dust never rides back onto a panel.

Then the paint gets something on top of it. Wax gives a warmer look for a few months, a sealant holds up longer through an Ohio winter, and we will tell you which one fits how you drive and where you park. Glass is cleaned, tires are dressed to a satin finish rather than a greasy gloss, and the door jambs get wiped so the car still looks finished when you open it.
