Our exterior hand wash is the safest way to keep a daily driver looking sharp. Every panel is washed by hand with a fresh mitt and clean water, so the dirt from your rocker panels never ends up on your hood.

Why the two-bucket method matters

One bucket holds soapy water, the other rinses the mitt after every panel. A grit guard at the bottom of each bucket traps the dirt, so it is never dragged back across your clear coat. It is slower than a tunnel, and that is the point.

Finished by hand

We rinse with filtered, de-ionised water and dry with plush microfiber towels and a blower for mirrors and badges, so you drive away without water spots or drips.
