Wheels & Arches- Wheel faces and barrels are pre sprayed  with a specific wheel cleaner and left to dwell for a few minutes while the cleaner breaks down dirt and road grime. Wheel arches and brake calipers are then sprayed with an all purpose cleaner (APC) and agitated to loosen any caked on dirt. Faces and barrels of wheels are then cleaned using various brushes before being pressure rinsed off.

 

 

 

 

 

Shutes & Hinges- Door jams, hood jam, trunk jam and gas compartment are pre-sprayed with an APC then agitated with various brushes to loosen soiled in grease and dirt so it can be rinsed away.

 

 

 

 

Pre Soak- Once all shutes and hinges have been cleaned, a thorough pressure rinse is performed to help remove larger particles of dirt. A snow foam presoak is then applied to the entire vehicle and left to continue to break down remaining dirt from the surface of the vehicle. The goal is to remove as much dirt and contaminents from the paint as posible before putting a wash mitt  on the paint. This helps to prevent scratching and marring the clear coat when washing with a mitt. After the majority of the foam has dripped off, the vehicle is pressure rinsed again.

 

 

 

Wash- Now that the majority of heavy dirt has been lifted from the exterior surfaces we can now do a gentle hand wash using a wash mitt and two wash buckets. One bucket holds our Ph neutral wash soap and the other bucket is plain water to rinse our mitt in before putting it back into our clean soap bucket. This is done to prevent any dirt or grit that was removed from the vehicle by the wash mitt from ending up in the clean soap bucket ensuring we do not introduce new wash marks or scratches to the clear coat. Our hand wash starts from the top of the vehicle using long straight gentle passes and then work our way down rinsing our mitt after each panel. After each panel has been thoroughly washed we give it one more final rinse.

 

 

 

 

Drying- Following the final rinse we dry the vehicle using a soft microfiber drying towel. In addition to the microfiber towels we also use hot air to ensure that the most water possible is removed from cracks, crevices, and moldings prior to clay barring the paint.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Paint Decontamination- To further prep the vehicle's paint for either paint correction or a protective coating; a clay bar or AutoScrub treament is given to remove impurities that have embeded themselves in the clear coat. By ligtly running the clay or AutoScrub over the surface of the vehicle with a lubricant, small pieces of contamination that make your paint feel rough become trapped in the clay or AutoScrub mitt and safely removed from the paintwork leaving a clean and smooth finish.
