P&S Beadmaker is applied to the paint for added shine and slickness.

Great for cars that have already been Ceramic Coated or detailed, and customers who care about maintaining a scratch free finish on their paint.
Wash & Wax $450-$600 (4 hours)
Our same thorough wash service (described above), plus:
CLAY BAR paint cleaner. Automotive detailing clay removes roughness from your paint, removes iron particles, and creates a smooth surface which allows wax to adhere to the surface of the paint.
The paint is finessed with Carpro Essence, and topped with P&S Beadmaker.
This is an exterior only service, ideal for cars that are clean and maintained, but need protection on the paint, or annual service to maintain your vehicles finish. If your vehicles interior needs attention, please see our detail packages below.
Stage 2 Detail $985-$1400 (6-8 hours)
This is our FULL DETAIL process, the one that put us on the map. 6-8 hours are dedicated to restoring and protecting your vehicle to a like new condition. (Other shops spend an average of 3 hours on their full detail.)
PAINT DECONTAMINATION wash to safely remove ferrous metals from the paint finish.
Clay bar paint exfoliation to remove stubborn contamination from the outer layer of the paint’s surface.
The paint is lightly polished with Carpro Essence, a truly unique 3-way product. Lightly abrasive to enhance gloss, active resin fillers to improve paint’s visual appearance, and SiO2 protectant to keep your paint safe for 1 year.
WATER SPOT REMOVAL on the windows.
The interior receives a MORE THOROUGH cleaning, including:
FULL INTERIOR SHAMPOO stain removal and STEAM CLEANING of all cloth and carpeted surfaces.
Conditioning of the leather seats to preserve the original look. Unlike carwashes that leave your seats greasy and shiny to hide inferior cleaning techniques, our conditioners create a natural sheen, which is dry to the touch and leaves the leather hydrated.
We can also add a COSMETIC ENGINE DETAIL ($125) which consists of steam cleaning, degreasing, and conditioning of the plastics and hoses using P&S Water Based Dressing. (Top side of engine only.)
