A simple drive-through wash can leave behind swirl marks and missed spots. At Big Red’s Auto Detailing, our Comprehensive Exterior Wash is a detailed, multi-stage process designed to safely and thoroughly clean your vehicle’s finish, delivering maximum shine and protection without damaging your clear coat.
Our Multi-Step Exterior Wash Process:
- Pre-Soak and Decontamination: We begin with a gentle foam pre-soak to lift loose dirt and grit, followed by a non-acidic wheel cleaning and thorough tire scrubbing to remove brake dust and road grime.
- Two-Bucket Hand Wash: Using the safe two-bucket method with grit guards and premium microfiber wash mitts, we hand-wash every panel. This minimizes the risk of introducing micro-scratches (swirl marks) into your paint.
- Spot-Free Rinse and Drying: A final deionized water rinse ensures all soap residue is removed, preventing water spots. We then use high-powered air blowers and soft microfiber towels to completely dry the exterior.
- Tire Dressing and Finish: We apply a non-sling, deep black tire dressing to give your wheels a perfect finish and clean the exterior glass for crystal-clear visibility.
Walk away with a vehicle that doesn’t just look clean—it shines with a depth and clarity that turns heads. This service is the perfect foundation for all our detailing and paint correction services.
