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.
