Shine and Protect Your Car with a Wash and Wax

A great exterior service to cleanse and freshen up your paint

Boost Your Car’s Gloss and Add a Layer of Protection

A wash and wax is the perfect service to keep your paint looking clean and glossy while adding a protective barrier. This service smooths the surface from rough texture that may affect your paint from contaminants, it increases the shine, and helps repel water and debris from Chicago’s weather

Not only will your car look noticeably better, but you’ll also feel the smooth, slick finish that comes with a properly maintained exterior.

Want to take it up a notch? Paint correction removes swirls and scratches, restoring a deep, mirror-like shine. If you are looking for long-term protection, ceramic coating seals in the gloss and defends your paint for years.

Our Wash and Wax Process

A wash and wax is more than just a quick wash—it’s an exterior detail to keep your car looking its best. Here is how we do it:

Wheel and Tire Cleaning: We thoroughly clean your wheels, tires, and fenders to remove built-up brake dust and road grime. If deeper cleaning is needed to restore your wheels, we offer it as an additional service.

Hand Wash: Using proper wash methods, we wash your vehicle’s exterior to remove dirt, dust, bird droppings and bug splatter.

Clay Bar Treatment: The clay bar process removes embedded contaminants that a regular wash cannot. This step enhances smoothness and preps the surface for a strong sealant bond.

Sealant Application: A premium-quality sealant is applied to protect your paint and add depth to the shine. This step locks in the cleanliness and provides months of protection.

Tire Dressing: Tires are dressed with a non-greasy, water-based dressing that enhances their look without leaving behind a sticky residue (and doesn’t sling when you drive off).

Glass Cleaning: The exterior glass and windows are cleaned for a streak-free, crystal-clear finish.

Looking for a full transformation? Pair this service with Interior Detailing to get your cabin to a like-new condition.

And since we are a fully mobile detailing service, we bring everything straight to you. No need to drop off your car or adjust your schedule—we get the job done while you carry on with your day.

Wash and Wax FAQs

Yes! We are a fully mobile detailing service, bringing professional results directly to you. We operate throughout Chicago and nearby suburbs.

A sealant lasts anywhere from three to six months. It just depends on how the vehicle is stored. Cars kept in a garage tend to hold protection longer compared to if they’re parked outside and exposed to the elements all day long. Using proper washing methods also helps extend the life of the sealant.

A wash and wax does not remove scratches, but it can temporarily fill in very light swirl marks to reduce their appearance. If your car has deeper scratches, paint correction is the best way to remove them permanently. If the scratch is really deep, it may require wet-sanding or even touch up paint.
