"Detailing Tips"

Apply each function in the order presented on the bay menu.

Soap your car from the bottom → up. That way you know how much you've done.

Rinse from the top → down.

Wash your car often, it's easier to clean.

Wax it! The more wax you have between the clearcoat layer and the elements, the more protection you have. Protect the clearcoat and protect the paint.

Follow the order on the panel for the best results. Start with the Engine Degreaser or the Tire Cleaner. Each soap comes with HOT WATER!

  • Engine Degreaser and Tire Cleaner - Spray this green soap on your engine, rims, hub caps, and tires and let it sit for about 2 minutes before rinsing. (Be careful with an older car, water can seep into loose connections.) It works best on dry tires.
  • Pre-Soak - This concentrated pink soap lifts the dirt settled on your car.
  • High Pressure Soap - blast away dirt! Point and spray the dirt away. Remember to grasp the wand firmly when using high pressure functions.
  • Foaming Brush - Use the foaming hogs hair brush to safely scrub away stuck on dirt. The soap has a lot of lubricity, like shaving cream. Rinse brush before using and be sure your car is wet before you start scrubbing.
  • High Pressure Rinse - Rinse away the soap and dirt. Grasp the wand firmly.
  • High Pressure Wax - This cherry scented wax adds shine and protects your car.
  • Spot-Free Rinse - Spray this final rinse and just drive away! Our reverse osmosis water treatment removes minerals and "stuff" from the water. It won't leave spots!
  • Air Shammee - A blow dryer at 180 mph. It is great for getting water out of nooks and crannies like your mirrors and rims, and blowing off your windors.
