Paint Cleaning & Protection
WHAT IS WASH, CLAY & SEAL?
Wash, Clay & Seal is an exterior detailing service designed to clean the vehicle, remove embedded grime, smooth the paint, and provide ceramic sealant protection. The process begins with a 100% hand wash using spotless water, followed by bug and tar removal, clay bar treatment, thorough wheel cleaning, tire shine, exterior glass cleaning, and detailed door jamb care.
A ceramic sealant is then applied to provide approximately six months of protection, helping maintain a glossier exterior between professional detailing services.

Paint Maintenance & Protection
WHEN IS WASH, CLAY & SEAL NECESSARY?
Wash, Clay & Seal is ideal when your vehicle's exterior needs more than a basic wash but does not require extensive detailing. It helps remove embedded grime, bugs, tar, and surface contaminants that can remain after routine washing. The clay bar treatment smooths the paint before ceramic sealant application, while wheel cleaning, tire shine, glass care, and detailed door jamb cleaning complete the exterior service.
This package is especially useful for maintaining a cleaner, smoother, glossier finish while adding approximately six months of ceramic sealant protection.
