Wash & Wax Exterior
Complete hand wash plus hand-applied wax for deep shine and paint protection. Recommended every 1–3 months for lasting protection and a brilliant finish.
Ideal if it's been a few months since your last wax, or you want extra shine and protection before a trip or event.
This is our full exterior package: everything in the Hand Wash Exterior service, plus a hand-applied wax that adds depth to your paint's shine and a protective layer against sun, rain, and daily grime. Waxing by hand — rather than with a machine buffer — gives us more control around trim, badges, and panel gaps, and avoids the risk of burning through paint that comes with high-speed buffers. The wax barrier typically holds up for 1–3 months depending on how often the vehicle is washed and how much time it spends outside, which is why we recommend booking this service on that cadence.

Common Questions
Wash & Wax Exterior FAQs
How long does the wax last?
Typically 1–3 months, depending on how often you wash your car and how much sun and weather exposure it gets. We recommend rebooking every 1–3 months to keep the protection topped up.
Is hand-applied wax better than a machine polish?
For maintenance waxing, yes — hand application lets us work carefully around trim, emblems, and body lines without the risk of swirl marks or burn-through that comes with a high-speed buffer. If your paint needs correction (deep scratches or heavy oxidation), that's a separate service — just ask.
Can I request wax on just part of the vehicle?
This package covers the full exterior. If you have a specific concern, like a hood or roof that gets more sun exposure, let us know when you book and we'll pay extra attention there.
