- Snow Foam
- A soap that's used as a pre-wash. It sits on the vehicle for 2–3 minutes before we pressure wash off the road dirt and grime that's been gently lifted during the process. This minimises scratches and marring caused by regular washing, as there's less grit on the vehicle when we start the hand wash.
- Two Bucket Method
- Using one bucket filled with soap and another with water, the wash mitt is rinsed in the water before being dipped back into the soap bucket to hand wash your vehicle. We also use Grit Guards that hold dirt at the bottom of the bucket for extra protection.
- Contamination
- Refers to anything left over from the snow foam & hand washing process: things such as tar, sap, iron deposits, and road grime stuck to the paint.
- Clay Cloth or Clay Bar
- Using lubrication, a sticky clay bar or clay cloth is lightly rubbed over the exterior of the vehicle, removing contaminants easily. This can cause minor swirling, so we only offer this alongside an exterior detail or polish to remove any swirls caused by the process.
- Iron-X
- Iron-X sprays on as a transparent liquid. As the cleansing liquid works into the dirt and grime, the formula turns purple/red. That colour change is the Iron-X cleaner bonding to sintered iron on the paint or wheels, turning it into a water-soluble complex that's easy to rinse away. This protects your vehicle from paint system failure: no other method cleans paint or wheels as deep as Iron-X.
- pH Neutral
- A non-acidic/alkaline cleaner. Our snow foam, hand wash shampoo, Iron-X spray and all exterior cleaners are pH neutral unless a job specifically needs otherwise. This won't strip ceramic coatings or sealants, or slowly deteriorate paint the way conventional car cleaning chemicals can.
- Paint Enhancement
- An all-in-one polish, applied by machine. This enhances the paint's depth and gloss, adds a semi-permanent protective layer, and removes minor scratches without needing further steps or refining. Perfect if you want paint that's smooth and mirror-like, without major scratch removal.
- Paint Correction
- Refers to the restoration of paintwork. Using a heavy compound and pad with our machine polishers, we remove swirls, scratches, oxidization and watermark spots that regular polishing can't touch, then refine the paint with lighter polishes and pads for ultimate depth and a swirl-free surface. Generally, if you can fit the tip of a fingernail into a scratch it's too deep to remove and would need re-painting. We can blend deeper scratches to make them less noticeable, but they won't be "perfect".
- Carnauba Wax
- Carnauba waxes bring out more gloss than our sealant but are less durable, being organic. Great for weekend drivers or show cars.
- Sealant
- A synthetic sealant that provides durable protection to exterior paint, windows, wheels or calipers, lasting around 2–3 times longer than our carnauba wax. Great for any vehicle.
- Ceramic Coating
- Ceramic coatings are semi-permanent and outlast any wax or sealant by miles. They give the deepest, glossiest finish possible while providing tough, durable protection, repelling UV rays, water, oils, dirt and contaminants, and resisting wash-induced marring, bird-dropping damage, stains, temperature extremes and traffic film. They make maintenance washing easy and have self-cleaning properties. A must-have for any car enthusiast.
