Wash and Wax: Add Gloss and Protection to your Paint
A classic service to maintain your paint
The key is proper maintenance
When was the last time you waxed your paint? Last year? 2 years ago? The majority of car owners aren’t aware but our vehicles should be waxed every 3-6 months.
Our car paint needs to be maintained just like our skin. Wax is like lotion for our vehicles. It helps “condition” the paint.
It adds extra shine while adding a layer of protection against the Sacramento heat, bugs, bird droppings, and anything that can fall on there. We deep clean the paint and apply a sealant that fills in the super fine scratches and makes your paint pop.
It’s a service that doesn’t take too long and can do wonders for any vehicle. From older vehicles to brand new ones, a wash and wax is a great option to properly take care of your vehicle. Many of our clients are extremely happy with this service.
Our Wash and Wax Process
1
Clean the wheels
Detail starts with cleaning the tires, wheels and wheel liners with a variety of brushes to get all surfaces
2
Thorough hand wash
We’ll remove bugs and then use a gentle wash mitt to clean the door jambs, gas cap, and paint.
3
Clay Bar Treatment
Using a clay towel, we will exfoliate the paint and remove any embedded dirt
4
Towel Dry
We will dry your vehicle using plush microfiber drying towels to prevent scratching.
5
Wax
We will apply Jescar Power Plus Sealant to seal your vehicle for the next 6 months.
6
Dress the tires
We’ll leave your tires with a light gloss shine.
7
Clean the glass
We’ll touch up the glass and make sure it’s streak-free for you.
If you are looking for a complete vehicle transformation, a full interior detail would be a great add-on service! Both the interior and exterior of your vehicle will be looking squeaky clean. Or if you are looking for the ultimate protection, a ceramic coating would be ideal for you.
Price may vary based on the size of your vehicle.

FAQS about our Wash and Wax Service
You can read the rest of our faqs here.
Generally speaking, it takes 1 to 3 hours. It all depends on the size of the vehicle. For example, waxing a Grand Wagoneer will take substantially longer than waxing a Prius.
How long will this service take?
We use Jescar Power Plus. It is a highly-rated automotive sealant that will provide you with only the best results.
Which wax do you use?
The results will last depending on how often you leave your vehicle outside. If it is partly garage-kept and partly taken out for work or chores, then it can last between 4 to 6 months. However, if it is left outside in the Sacramento heat and in the rain 100% of the time, then you will get a maximum 3 months of protection.
Important note, please do not wash your vehicle with dish soap during this time because it will strip the vehicle of the protective sealant.
How long will the results last?
The strongest protection for your paint is a ceramic coating. It can last up to several years and offers even greater protection. You can read about it here.
What’s the strongest wax I can get?
The wax does not remove the scratches. It fills the finest scratches in and “masks” them from the naked eye. If you want to remove the micro swirls, our paint correction services would be a great choice for you.
Does this remove scratches from my paint?
Yes! We’ll come to your house and service your car! We service Sacramento and many of the surrounding cities. Areas such as Elk Grove, Roseville, Natomas, Arden, Rancho Cordova, West Sacramento, Granite Bay, Carmichael, Fair Oaks, Folsom, Rocklin, etc. If you don’t see your area, give us a call and so we can accommodate your needs.
