Chicago’s streets are brutal—think road salt, pollen, bird droppings, and grime from street parking. A basic wash won’t protect your paint long-term. Our full exterior detail helps fight back and keep your car looking fresh.
Absolutely. That layer of wax we apply acts like a shield against salt, snow, and slush—making it easier to clean next time and helping prevent rust.
We usually need around 15 to 20 mins. We don’t rush—we’re focused on quality, not just speed.
Every 3 to 4 Days a week works well for most Chicago drivers. If you park outside or drive a lot, more often doesn’t hurt.
In Chicago, your car’s paint collects road salt, brake dust, rail yard grime, and pollution. Clay bar treatment removes that buildup so your paint feels smooth again—and it preps the surface for polishing and waxing.
Yes, because we don’t just clean—we restore and protect your paint. A drive-thru wash can leave scratches and doesn’t offer real protection. Our service is hands-on and thorough.
