Exterior Wash & Wax
Hand wash and wax at your Spring home or office
Houston is rough on paint. the Houston summer heat bakes lovebugs, bird droppings and tree sap onto the clear coat, and if they sit too long they etch it. Spring pollen and red dust settle into every seam, and a drive-through wash with spinning brushes leaves fine scratches you see every time the sun hits the car.
We wash by hand with the two-bucket method and clean mitts, so dirt never gets dragged across your paint. Bugs and sap come off with the right cleaner, not scrubbing. Then wheels, tires and glass get detailed, and a coat of wax or paint sealant goes on to protect the paint and make the next wash easier.

When to book
Signs your paint needs a wash and wax
Bugs baked onto the bumper
Lovebug season leaves acidic spots that can etch paint if they sit.
Sap and bird droppings
Parking under trees leaves sticky spots that harden in the sun.
Water doesn't bead anymore
When water sheets and clings, the old wax is gone and the paint is unprotected.
Paint feels rough
Run your hand over the hood in a plastic bag; if it feels gritty, it needs a clay bar.

FAQ
Exterior Wash & Wax questions
How long does wax last in Houston heat?
A good wax lasts about one to three months here, a paint sealant longer. If you want protection that lasts years, ask about ceramic coating.
Is a hand wash really better than a car wash?
Yes. Drive-through brushes and dirty rags drag grit across the paint and cause swirl marks. A careful hand wash keeps the paint looking new.
Do you need my water or power?
No. Our van carries its own water and power, so we can wash in your driveway, a parking lot or at your office.
