This is what maintenance is supposed to be
We remove the normal dust, road film, bugs, and day-to-day grime before it has months to bake onto the finish. The products and wash method are chosen around whatever protection is already on the car.
We also keep an eye on the paint while we're washing it. If the finish starts feeling rough, the wheels are getting neglected, or the protection looks tired, we'll let you know before a small issue turns into the next big detail.
A neglected car isn't a maintenance wash
Old tar, hard-water spots, heavy brake dust, thick bug buildup, and bonded contamination take more than routine washing. If the vehicle has moved out of maintenance condition, we'll explain what it needs and why.
How often you come in depends on your mileage, parking, dust, weather, and how you like the car to look. Central Valley dust and summer heat can shorten that window fast.

Questions we hear about Maintenance Wash
Who can book a Maintenance Wash?
It is for a vehicle that is already clean, protected, and still within routine-wash condition. Send us pictures if you aren't sure.
Does it add protection?
The main job is to preserve what is already there. If you want a ceramic sealant added, look at Ceramic Wash or ask us what fits the vehicle.
How often should I schedule it?
There isn't one schedule for everybody. Mileage, storage, weather, dust, and your own standard all change the answer.
