HANDWASH

Cost:$50 + extra for station wagons, minivans, SUVs, and trucks. 

Details: Our unique 24-step handwash is tailored to those not wanting to subject their vehicle to the scratches or the chemical etching caused by automated car washes (yes, even touch-less washes are bad).

After the car is washed and dried, we apply a synthetic spray sealant over all paintwork to help boost your wax/sealant and tires are dressed with a water based non-sling formula.This is a bi-monthly recommendation for our repeat customers in order to maintain the vehicles scratch-free look even longer or a new customer looking for a better solution for keeping their ride looking good longer.*As with any of our other services, handwashes require an appointment. Drop-ins are not encouraged. Thank you for your understanding*
