Car Wash Process | Paint-Safe Cleaning

Our Process

Step One

Targeted Pre-Wash

We begin with a focused pre-wash treatment that safely loosens brake dust and road grime from wheels and lower panels.

Step Two

Premium Snow Foam

Imported Italian snow foam blankets the vehicle, lifting dirt from the paint surface while remaining completely paint-safe.

Step Three

Purified Water Rinse

High-pressure rinsing with purified water removes foam and contaminants while preventing mineral spots.

Step Four

Protective Upgrade

Optional hydrophobic protection adds gloss, durability and water-repellent shielding for long-lasting paint protection.

Step Five

Finishing Touches

We hand dry, clean glass, wipe door shuts and apply tyre dressing for a crisp matte finish.

Step Six

Optional Extras

Interior cleaning, air-con sanitising, ultra-HD polish and complete detailing services are available on request.
