Superior Wash Process

Our complete wash process ensures your vehicle comes out as clean, shiny, dry, and safe as possible.

Start To Finish

Six steps. One superior clean.

Every stage of our wash is designed to work together, from detailed hand prep through the final reverse osmosis rinse and powerful dry.

01

Detailed Hand Prep

Our staff performs a thorough hand prep, spraying heavy soils from the vehicle from top to bottom. The front, windshield, and rear are brushed thoroughly using high quality soap and gentle hog's hair detailing brushes.

02

Presoak & Lava Bath

Presoak and neutral pH Lava Bath soap are applied to lift additional contaminants and dirt while providing incredible lubrication for the wash process. Triple Foam Polish is also applied with applicable higher wash packages.

03

Gentle Friction Wash

A gentle friction wash is performed using Neo Tex wash material throughout the vehicle wash process. Learn more below about why we chose Neo Tex.

04

Rinse & Ceramic Finish

The vehicle is thoroughly rinsed. Ceramic Finish is then applied with the applicable wash package for enhanced shine, hydrophobic properties, and protection.

05

Drying Agent & Protectant

Drying Agent is applied to help water release cleanly from the vehicle surface. Clear Coat Protectant is also applied with applicable wash packages.

06

Final Rinse & AirCannons

The vehicle is rinsed again using high quality reverse osmosis water, then dried with our powerful 80 horsepower AirCannons for a clean, dry finish.

Neo Tex Wash Material

Gentle by design.

Our wash system exclusively uses Neo Tex foam vehicle wash material. Neo Tex is a closed cell material with soft, spongy physical characteristics. Because it is closed cell, it does not absorb water and dirt does not penetrate the material, helping it easily maintain a clean, like new appearance.

Neo Tex is approximately four times lighter than traditional cloth wash material. Lighter material and lighter operation translate to less wear and tear on wash machinery.

Unlike traditional cloth, which is very strong, Neo Tex is more forgiving. Individual strands can break if they become caught or tangled during the wash process. This helps minimize the potential for vehicle damage involving antennas, mirrors, and other aftermarket accessories while providing an exceptionally gentle wash experience.
