What is Snow Foam and why do you use it?

Snow foam is a high foaming detergent used at the pre-wash stage.
This chemical works by creating a thick, clingy foam that sticks to the surface of your car – similarly how snow does. However, unlike snow this thick foam increases the amount of time that the cleaning agents inside the snow foam are in contact with the dirt on the car’s surface. The foam then softens and encapsulates dirt and road grime, providing a far safer and easier wash.

What is Fallout Remover and why do you use it?

Fallout remover is a special product aimed at decontaminating your vehicle. It is an acid-free, pH-balanced chemical that decontaminates paint and wheels. It has the chemical ability to help remove iron oxide particles from a surface of your vehicle without having to remove them mechanically. These particles are loosened up via a chemical process that allows for them to be rinsed off safely.
You will visually see the reaction between the fall out remover and the containments on your vehicle as the chemical starts to turn purple!

What is Aqua Coat and why do you use it?

“Instant beading, instant protection”. Aqua Coat is a solution which is the quickest and easiest way to apply long lasting protection, with enhanced water beading to all exterior surfaces. Aqua Coat adds a protective layer of Si02 coating to all exterior surfaces right at the wash stage. This process can provide up to 3 months durability on your vehicle – and if that wasn’t enough, its bubble-gum fragrance smells amazing!

What is polish/wax and how long does this service take?

Polish is a product that helps to eliminate surface scratches, swirls, oxidation, dirt, and other minor imperfections.
Wax will prevent fading, discolouring, and oxidation which are common effects of sun damage. A coat of wax will also give your car a mirror like finish and make it shine
Polish and wax work together – polish will be used before wax, as it helps to restore auto paint that has lost its shine and wax provides a protective highly durable layer to maintain the resorted protection.
We cannot determine an exact time how long this service would take however after cleaning your vehicle using one of our services, we can then provide you with a more accurate answer.

What is a Machine Polish and how long would this service take?

A machine polish is a more in-depth polish which is completed by the use of a machine polisher to apply the chemicals. The head rotates on the machine at a constant speed and removes small amounts of clear coat or paint from the surface, cutting through and eliminating the imperfections in the process.
Similar to the hand wax/polish question, we will have to assess your vehicle before we can provide you with an accurate time, however the results from this service are amazing!

What is the benefit of a machine polish?

By using a machine polisher it helps in removing oxidized paint. It is also known to make surfaces smooth. A machine polish can also help in conditioning the paintwork so that it does not dry, crack and peel thus providing long lasting protection and amazing results!

What are Scratches and Swirls?

Swirl marks are simply super fine scratches on a paint surface. They are most commonly caused by wiping your car with a dry towel (typically when it’s dusty). Improper washing and drying techniques are culprits as well – like how they do at the £10 car wash! It’s easy to mar paint surfaces with microscopic scratches.
If you require further proof of scratches and swirls marks left within your paint work, please inform one of our team and they can show you on your vehicle- you will be amazed.If you require any swirl or scratch marks to be removed from your paintwork, please let us know and we can inspect your vehicle thoroughly to give you the best possible quote for this service.

What is Ceramic Coating?

Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that is applied by hand to the exterior of a vehicle. The coating chemically bonds with the vehicle’s paint, creating a highly durable long lasting layer of protection.
This process enhances the reflective properties of your car’s paint and clear coat, adding to the depth and clarity of your paint. A Ceramic Coating will also add value to your vehicle.
The process typically takes anywhere between 1-5 days depending on the condition of your paint, the size of the vehicle and the packages you select.
This service will leave you lost for words!

Please contact us for more information on this service.

Why attach a picture in your ‘Book a Clean’ page?

This is not necessarily required however by attaching a picture of your vehicle or area that needs a clean, this will give us a clearer understanding of your cleaning needs and what needs to be done. We can then determine which cleaning package will be best for you!
However, once a package is booked in, the vehicle will still require a thorough inspection before any work is carried out so we can ensure that we are offering the best possible service for you!
