Maintenance Wash
A maintenance wash is a routine car wash for our existing customers, intended to keep a vehicle clean and protected between more intensive detailing sessions. It's typically done weekly or bi-weekly and is designed to remove light dirt, dust, bird droppings, and road grime without damaging the paint or protective coatings like wax, sealant, or ceramic coating.
