The Exotic Wash is much more than your average car wash, it is designed specifically to wash a vehicle thoroughly without damaging the perfect finish. It is non corrosive and will not scratch or swirl the vehicle at all. Properly washing a car is vital for the appearance and overall protection of the vehicle. After a Complete Exterior Detail, one car wash can completely ruin all the work put into the vehicle, unless it is performed with perfection in mind. I would like to walk you through my Exotic Wash process step by step.
- First I will completely vacuum out the interior. I will not only vacuum the mats and carpet; I will also vacuum under the seats as well as on the door panels and dash board. This ensures all loose debris is removed, helping to prevent dirt from being ground in and staining.
- Next I will treat the dash, center console, door panels, and leather seats to a synthetic detail. This is a quick spray that will remove any new dirt as well as remove all dust.
- After this, I will clean the windows making sure to leave no streaks behind.
- This concludes the interior section of the Exotic Wash. Next, I will fill two buckets with water. One will be solid water, and the other will be water and a Glossworks Shampoo. The shampoo solution is for the exterior surface, while the solid water bucket is for the rims. This ensures that no heavy dirt from the rims will come in contact with the exterior painted surface, causing new scratches.
- I will then treat the tires and wheel well to an acidic solution and a heavy duty brush. This will remove all dirt that has built up. I will then treat the rims to a non-corrosive gel that will assist with removing break dust. I will use a series of brushes to remove this build-up not only on the surface of the rim, but also on the backside as well. Once the build-up has been removed, I will pressure wash the rims to reveal the clean surface.
- After the rims have been completely cleaned, I will move on to the exterior itself. To properly break down the exterior dirt, I will use a foam gun and a specialty shampoo. I will cover the entire vehicle in the thick foam and let it sit. This will break down the dirt without any brushes needed (which can cause micro-scratches). I then will use a detailing foam pad to wipe down the tick foam and remove the more "stubborn" dirt. Finally, I will pressure wash off the soap and debris. The shampoo will leave a gloss-like affect once pressure washed off, without leaving a cheap waxy residue.
- After the vehicle has been completely showered down, I will dry the vehicle. First I will blow the heavy water off the vehicle. This process removes 90% of the water. To remove the next 10% I use premium microfiber towels. These towels are designed specifically to remove water without leaving fibers behind, or scratches. After the paint, windows, and rims have been dried, I will again blow dry all crevices, corners, lug nuts, tires, wheel wells, and the grille to make sure all the water has been completely dried. I also open the doors, hood, and truck to make sure no water has settled as well.
- After the vehicle has been completely cleaned, both inside and out, I dress the tires. I use a premium gel to dress the tires that leave a deep black color that will last for the weeks to come. This completes my Exotic Wash process.
