Quick Wash & Maintenance FAQs
What is a Quick Wash?
A Quick Wash is a faster, budget-friendly service that includes a premium hand wash, wheel and tire cleaning, basic vacuuming, interior wipe-down, and window cleaning.
No clay bar, stain extraction, or deep shampooing is included unless you're a maintenance plan subscriber.
How does a Quick Wash differ from a Full-Service Detail?
A full detail is a deep restoration service. A Quick Wash is a light maintenance cleaning to preserve your car’s appearance in between full details.
Why should I choose a Quick Wash or Maintenance Plan?
Quick Washes and Maintenance Plans keep your vehicle clean, protected, and looking fresh without the heavy cost or time of full-service details.
Subscribers get added benefits like leather conditioning, stain extraction, and steam cleaning (when needed).
How do I qualify for a Maintenance Plan?
We require a full-service detail first to bring your vehicle up to professional standards before starting regular bi-weekly or monthly Quick Washes.
How much does a Quick Wash cost?
Pricing varies based on vehicle size and frequency (bi-weekly or monthly). Contact us today for a custom quote!
