Exterior wash and wax in Philadelphia, PA
A careful hand wash, clean wheels and a protected, glossy finish.
Exterior Wash & Wax
Why a hand wash matters.
Automatic washes are quick, but their brushes and recycled water leave fine scratches that show up as swirls in the sun. A proper hand wash keeps grit off the paint, then a coat of wax brings the shine back and puts a layer of protection on the finish.
It is the easiest way to keep a car looking cared for between full details, and in Philadelphia it does real work: road salt, brake dust and city grime come off before they have a chance to etch in.

Wax or ceramic coating?
Wax looks great and is simple to keep up, but it wears off over weeks to months. A ceramic coating lasts much longer and makes every wash easier. If you are torn between them, ask about both when you call and pick what fits how you use the car.
How often should I wax my car?
Most cars do well with a fresh coat every few months, and more often if the car lives outside or sees a lot of winter salt.
Is a hand wash really better than a tunnel wash?
For the paint, yes. Spinning brushes pick up grit from every car before yours, and that grit leaves the fine swirl marks you see in sunlight.
Do you wash trucks and vans?
Yes, from pickups to box trucks. For company vehicles, see our fleet and mobile detailing page.
