Wash & Protect.

Add Gloss & Protection

Make It Shine & Protected Against The Aussie Sun

"Wash and Protect" is a comprehensive car detailing service that ensures your vehicle is thoroughly cleaned and expertly protected. The wash step includes a careful hand wash using high-quality car shampoo, soft microfiber mitts, and a foam bath to lift dirt and grime without damaging the paint. After a gentle rinse and dry, the vehicle’s surface is left spotless and prepped for the protection phase.

For protection, an advanced SiO2 sealant or wax is applied to the vehicle's exterior. This layer forms a hydrophobic barrier that repels water, dirt, and contaminants, making it easier to clean and helping maintain the car's shine. The protection also offers durable defense against the elements, ensuring that your vehicle’s finish stays looking new for longer. Whether it’s the long-lasting benefits of a SiO2 sealant or the glossy, protective layer of wax, this service gives your car the ultimate shield for ongoing maintenance and protection.

Wash & Protect FAQS

1. What is the difference between SiO2 sealant and wax?

SiO2 sealant offers a more durable and long-lasting protective layer compared to traditional wax. It creates a hydrophobic surface that repels water, dirt, and contaminants for extended periods, making it easier to maintain your vehicle's cleanliness. Wax, while providing a glossy finish, typically lasts a shorter time and requires more frequent reapplication. SiO2 is ideal for long-term protection, while wax delivers a classic shine with a slightly shorter lifespan.

2. How long does the Wash and Protect service take?

The Wash and Protect service typically takes around 2 to 3 hours, depending on the condition of the vehicle and the level of protection applied. We focus on providing a thorough cleaning and application to ensure the best results for your car.

3. How long will the protection last?

When applied, both SiO2 sealant and wax can protect your car for several weeks to a few months. SiO2 sealant generally lasts longer, up to 6 months, depending on environmental factors. Wax protection may last around 1 to 3 months. To maintain optimal results, regular washing and reapplication are recommended.

4. Can I wash my car after the service?

Yes, you can wash your car after the service, but we recommend waiting at least 24 hours before the first wash to allow the sealant or wax to fully cure. Afterward, the protection will help make future washes easier and prevent contaminants from sticking to the surface.

5. Will this service remove scratches or swirl marks?

While the Wash and Protect service cleans and protects the vehicle’s surface, it does not specifically address scratches or swirl marks. For deeper paint correction, a separate service like paint polishing or correction may be required.

6. Is the protection safe for all types of paint?

Yes, both SiO2 sealants and waxes are safe for all types of automotive paint. Whether you have a standard, metallic, or custom finish, the protection will enhance the shine and preserve the paintwork without causing damage.

7. Do I need to maintain the protection?

While the protection helps reduce the need for frequent washing, periodic maintenance is recommended to ensure the best results. A gentle wash every couple of weeks and reapplying the protection every few months will help your vehicle maintain its glossy appearance and shield against the elements.

8. Can I get this service for my car if it has not been detailed in a while?

Yes, the Wash and Protect service is suitable for both well-maintained and neglected vehicles. If your car has heavy dirt or contaminants, we’ll first ensure it’s thoroughly cleaned and prepped before applying the protection for the best possible results.

The Wash & Protect Process

Wash and Protect Service Process

1. Initial Assessment
We begin by inspecting your vehicle to assess its current condition. This helps us identify any specific needs, such as areas that need extra attention or potential contaminants that may require special care.
2. Wash Rinse
A gentle pre-rinse is applied to remove loose dirt, debris, and other contaminants from the vehicle's surface. This step helps minimize the risk of scratches during the wash.
3. Foam Bath Application
We apply a thick layer of high-quality foam to the entire vehicle. This foam helps to lift dirt and break down grime, allowing for a safe hand wash without damaging the paint.
4. Hand Wash
Using microfiber mitts and a premium car shampoo, we carefully hand wash every surface of the vehicle. This ensures that dirt and contaminants are safely removed without scratching the paint.
5. Rinse and Dry
After washing, we thoroughly rinse off all soap residue, followed by drying the car with soft microfiber towels or a blower to avoid water spots and streaks.
6. Paint Decontamination (If Needed)
If the vehicle has built-up contaminants such as tar, sap, or industrial fallout, we use specialized clay bars or other methods to decontaminate the paint surface before the protection is applied.
7. Application of SiO2 Sealant or Wax
We apply a high-quality SiO2 sealant or wax, depending on the package selected. This layer is carefully buffed into the paint to create a durable, hydrophobic barrier that repels water, dirt, and other contaminants. The SiO2 sealant offers long-lasting protection, while the wax gives a rich, glossy finish.
8. Tire and Trim Dressing
We finish by applying a specialized dressing to the tires and plastic trim to restore their appearance and protect them from fading. This step gives your vehicle a fresh, finished look.
9. Final Inspection
After the protection has cured, we conduct a final inspection to ensure that every detail meets our high standards. We check for any missed spots and ensure the protection layer is properly applied.
Completion
Your vehicle is now protected with a glossy, hydrophobic layer that will keep it looking fresh and make future washes easier. You’ll also receive care instructions to help maintain the protection and preserve the finish.
