The goal of a vehicle deep-clean is to remove contaminants from the surface of the vehicle. That last thing you want to do is wash the car with dirty water, which only reintroduces those same contaminants you’re trying to remove.
That’s where the three-bucket cleaning system comes into play. You have one bucket filled with clean soapy water and another bucket with just water. The water bucket is designed for rinsing your cleaning mitt before dunking it back into the soapy bucket. The third bucket should be used for wheels and tires exclusively, as these are often especially dirty

WHAT ARE WAX SEALANTS AND CERAMIC COATINGs?
WAX
CERAMIC COATING
SEALANTS
Wax is for the most part is about protection. You’re putting a barrier between the clear coat and the outside world to protect it from nasty stuff in the air, UV rays, and water. Water is of particular concern - rainwater and spray from the roads is full of all sorts of pollutants which can easily transfer onto the paint, so the best way to protect against it is to make sure water quickly runs straight off your bodywork - something that wax will do by making the surface ‘hydrophobic’.
SEALANTS
CERAMIC COATING
SEALANTS
Sealants are similar to waxes, but with a sealant you will get ultimate durability and protection, sealants also have hydrophobic properties which ultimately keeps your car cleaner for much longer, sealants are easy to use and adds a slick feel to your paint that is unlike that of natural carnauba car waxes.
CERAMIC COATING
CERAMIC COATING
LEATHER CONDITIONER
Ceramic Coating is a liquid polymer that is applied by hand to the exterior of the vehicle. The coating chemically bonds with the vehicles factory paint, creating a layer of protection. Coating can be applied to many surfaces of a vehicle including the interior, windshield, and wheels. The length of protection depends on the coating applied.
LEATHER CONDITIONER
LEATHER CONDITIONER
LEATHER CONDITIONER
Leather has a tendency to dry out and crack over time. A conditioner keeps the surface soft and supple. Mink oil and leather honey stimulate the natural oils of the leather. These are common conditioners are used to add moisture, color, and a layer of protection on leather.
WATERLESS WASH
LEATHER CONDITIONER
WATERLESS WASH
A waterless car wash is a high lubricity pre-mixed spray detailer that is used to heavily saturate a panel, after applying it we carefully wipe any dirt or road grime off to give your vehicle a dry shine. Waterless washes should only be used on vehicles with light dirt accumulation, they're a fast way to clean your vehicle between washes.
OXIDATION
LEATHER CONDITIONER
WATERLESS WASH
A paint job that is suffering from heavy oxidation will have a dull, chalky surface. The final stage of oxidation means the clear coat will deteriorate, causing patches of paint to dissolve permanently. That opens the door for rust, and means you'll need to repaint the car. This is why we protect your vehicles paint to avoid this happening.
