A real hand wash, wheels and tires done properly, and paint that’s decontaminated and sealed. Six stages, done in your driveway, with no tunnel brushes anywhere near your car.
The wash line
Six stages in order. Each one sets up the next, which is why skipping steps shows.
Foam pre-wash
Thick foam loosens dirt before anything touches the paint.
Hand wash
Two buckets and clean mitts, one panel at a time.
Wheels & tires
Faces, barrels, wheel wells and tires scrubbed clean.
Clay bar
Pulls out bonded grit so the paint feels like glass.
Iron removal
Dissolves embedded brake dust you can’t see or feel.
Seal & dress
Paint sealant on, tires dressed, glass cleaned.
What Missouri throws at your paint
Road salt
It clings to the lower panels and wheel wells. We flush it out before it does lasting damage.
Bugs & tar
Softened and lifted off, never scrubbed through your clear coat.
Sap & bird droppings
Both can etch paint when they bake in the sun. We remove them safely.
Hard water spots
Mineral rings are dissolved. If they’ve already etched in, paint correction takes them out.

Why not just use an automatic car wash?
Tunnel brushes drag grit across the paint and leave swirl marks. A proper hand wash doesn’t.
What do clay bar and iron removal do?
They take out what washing leaves behind. Clay lifts bonded grit off the surface, and iron remover dissolves brake dust stuck in the paint.
How long does the protection last?
It depends on the weather and how the car gets washed. For the longest-lasting protection, look at ceramic coating.
Do you need water or power from me?
[YOUR ANSWER: for example “No, we bring our own water and power” or “We need an outlet and a spigot.”]
