Exterior detailing is about more than appearance. Regular washing, decontamination and protection help preserve paintwork, maintain resale value and make future maintenance easier.
THE DETAILING PROCESS
A cleaner routine starts with the safest stages first, then builds towards protection and maintenance.
Wheels
Cleaning wheels first prevents brake dust and grime from contaminating freshly washed paintwork.
Pro tip: Swap Imperial for Reactive when cleaning heavily contaminated wheels
Pre-Wash
Pre-washing loosens heavy dirt and road film, reducing the risk of scratches during contact washing.
Pro tip: Add a layer of snow foam to soften stubborn grime and maximise cleaning power before contact washing.
Contact Wash
Contact washing removes remaining dirt safely, while proper drying helps prevent water spots and streaking.
Pro tip: Add Aqua Coat during rinsing for instant protection and extra gloss
Decon
Removes contamination that regular washing cannot, helping to maintain a smooth finish and maximise the performance of protection products.
Pro tip: Follow iron and tar removal with a clay bar treatment for the smoothest possible finish.
Paintwork Enhancement
Enhance gloss, improve clarity and reduce the appearance of imperfections before applying protection. From all-in-one products to machine polishing, this stage helps restore your paintwork's best possible finish.
Pro tip: Use Tripple for a quick boost in gloss, depth and protection
Protection
Apply a sealant, wax or ceramic protection to enhance gloss, repel water and make future maintenance easier.
Pro tip: Layer Glisten over existing protection to boost gloss and water beading
Glass Care
Clean glass improves visibility, enhances the finished look and helps maintain safer driving conditions.
Pro tip: Clean glass last to avoid overspray from other products
Finishing Touches
Enhance gloss, remove light dust and perfect the finish with the final touches
Pro tip: Keep Lavish on hand for a quick gloss boost between washes
