Step by step
Step 1
Snow foam the car and then rinse it off with a low psi, high gpm pressure washer. This gently removes debris without scratching the surface of the car.
Step 2
Hand wash the car with high gsm microfiber towels to remove remaining dirt. The two bucket wash method reduces the chance of debris scratching your car's paint.
Step 3
Use a iron remover on the exterior of the car. After a few minutes, we rinse the iron remover off of the car.
Step 4
Apply tar remover to tar or bug spots on car. This product also needs a few minutes to dwell on the cars paint.
Step 5
Clay bar and wipe the car paint and windows down until smooth. This removes embedded debris from the clear coat of your car.
Step 6
Dry water off of the car to prevent water spotting.
Step 7
Clean wheels with a wheel and tire cleaner. Thoroughly scrub them down and rinse them off. This leaves your tires looking clean and rims shiny.
Step 8
Apply a trim restoring product to weather stripping and exterior plastics with a foam applicator pad. This gives faded exterior plastics a deep black shine, and protects from UV rays.
Step 9
Wipe up excess product with a microfiber towel.
Step 10
Apply a tire gel with a foam applicator to all four tires giving them a nice glossy shine. After a lot of sun exposure tires will begin to brown, this helps to prevent.
Step 11
Wipe the remaining product after it sits for about ten minutes.
Step 12
Spray the car with a paint protectant and wipe it down with a few microfiber towels. This gives your car a nice gloss and hydrophobic barrier keeping your car cleaner for longer.
Step 13
Remove large debris from car and put to the side.
Step 14
Clean the center console, front dashboard and wheel with a interior cleaner, microfiber towels and a few brushes.
Step 15
Wipe down the inside of the front windshield and rear view mirror with a glass cleaner and lint free towel.
Step 16
Remove floor mats and wipe down the seats with a interior cleaner and microfiber towel for any loose debris.
Step 17
Vacuum the carpets and lightly agitate them to remove debris.
Step 18
Spray down stains and with a stain remover.
Step 19
Spray the carpet with a carpet cleaner, scrub the carpets, wipe them down, and then vacuum any remaining dirt.
Step 20
Vacuum the floor mats and lightly agitate them to remove debris.
Step 21
Spray down rubber and plastic floor mats. Then scrub them down with an all purpose cleaner and rinsed with water. Carpet floor mats use a carpet cleaner instead.
Step 22
Scrub inside of doors with a interior cleaner. Vacuum larger debris is necessary.
Step 23
Clean door jams with a waterless wash.
Step 24
Restore window with glass cleaner. The same process is used for the trunk area.
Step 25
Apply a water based dressing lightly to the wheel and any rubber/plastic floor mats. If the floor mats are carpet, then we apply a water based fluorochemical to protect against spills and stains.
Step 26
Wipe door panels, seats, and any plastics (except steering wheel and floor mats) with a silicone based protectant to finish the process.
Step 27
Optional air freshener sprayed in your car.

**Tar and iron removers are sensitive to sunlight and need proper time to dwell on the surface of the car without drying to be effective. We may move your car so it isn't in full sunlight.
