A thorough hand wash is the foundation of every quality detail job. Using premium pH-balanced car shampoo and the two-bucket wash method, we carefully hand wash every panel of your vehicle from the roof down to the sill — removing road grime, dust, and surface contamination without dragging swirl marks or scratches into your paintwork.

Unlike the roller brushes and recycled water found at automated carwashes, our hand wash process is gentle on your paint and reaches every surface — door handles, badge surrounds, lower panels, and other areas that machine washes consistently miss. This is particularly important on New Zealand roads where mud, dust, and rural grime build up quickly on lower panels and wheel arches.

All vehicles are pre-rinsed to loosen surface contamination before the wash begins, and a thorough final rinse ensures no soapy residue is left behind. Your car leaves looking genuinely clean — not just wet.
