Exterior Services FAQ's

1. What is Paint Correction, and how is it different from a regular wash?

Paint correction is what separates a clean car from a flawless one. It eliminates swirl marks, oxidation, and light scratches, restoring your vehicle’s depth, clarity, and gloss. This isn’t your average detail—it’s a transformation. If your car doesn’t turn heads, it’s time to fix that.

2. Why should I choose a hand wash over a drive-through car wash?

Automated washes cut corners. Harsh chemicals, abrasive brushes, and missed spots won’t do justice to your vehicle. A hand wash ensures precision, care, and attention to detail—because your car deserves better than a rushed job.

3. How long does the wax protection last?

Expect 6-9 months of protection, depending on how often your car is exposed to the elements. If you want months of durability with even greater hydrophobic properties, ceramic coating is the next level.

4. Can wax fix scratches in my paint?

Wax enhances your vehicle’s look, but it doesn’t remove imperfections. If swirl marks, dullness, or light scratches are holding back your car’s finish, Paint Correction is the solution.
