Information

What Is Clay Bar?
Clay bar is an actual bar of clay that is rubbed on the surface of your car to remove fallout, contamination, and other deposits that do not come off with just washing. This removes the rough feel that your car might have.

What Is Buffing & Polishing?
Buffing removes the haze/oxidation, heavy swirl marks, and scratches from your paint. Polishing removes light swirl marks and scratches, often left from buffing without polishing or driving through automatic car washes, and brightens the paint leaving a smooth and glossy surface.

What Are The Different Waxes?
Express Wax: this wax is is recommended for cars that already have a good coat of wax, but just need to be shined up, a good option, especially for dark colored cars, once every 4-6 weeks instead of washing.
Hand Waxing: this is the typical wax application, we use a high quality mild cleaner wax that both shines and protects your paint, and typically lasts 2-4 months.
Polymer Sealant Wax: the ultimate in waxing, this is a much harder and longer lasting than typical waxes. Polymer Sealant wax will typically last 8-10 months, and provides a much smoother & glossier surface.

Why Hand Washing?
Hand washing is preferred to drive through car washes because they do not scratch or leave swirl marks like the abrasive and dirty brushes of the drive through car washes. Hand washing also is sure to get in all of the areas of your car that automatic car washes miss, and thoroughly dry your car to avoid hard water spots and streaking.

What Is Hot Water Extraction?
Hot water extraction machines use 170+ degree water mixed with a concentrated cleaner and a high powered vacuum to shampoo the carpets and remove the deep down dirt. The hot water will not hurt your carpets, and works much better to remove dirt than simply a spray on cleaner, and the high powered vacuum removes the embedded dirt that has been loosened by the hot water.
