Premium Packages
Our carwash is the perfect choice for anyone looking to keep their vehicle in top condition.

We are ideal for cars that are well maintained on a regular basis, but also recommended for cars with ceramic coatings. With our combination of advanced technology and luxurious products, you can be sure that your car will be cleaned to perfection.
Please Note!
Wash packages will not remove etching damage from bird poo, dried baked bugs, swirl marks, scratches and baked on bonded contamination (tar, iron, tree sap and pollen). These often require machine polishing or decontamination and will incur extra charges. Please ask a member of our team for more help.

Ceramic Coating Packages
Ceramic coatings are currently one of the best way to protect your vehicle from various environmental pollutants, oxidation, UV and wash marring. Without protection and correct wash practices, the condition of your paintwork will deteriorate and start to look dull. Before applying a ceramic coating, we prepare the surface via specialist decontamination and degreasing chemicals. Due to the semi permanent nature of ceramic coatings, machine polishing is needed to ensure the condition of the paintwork is close to perfect.
Machine Polishing
Stage 1 paint correction can generally fix up to 50% of paint imperfections whereas
Stage 2 paint correction will fix 70% correctable defects.
Stage 3 is considered a multi step correction where our technicians will chase out any and all correctable defects for a 95% defect free finish.
What is a 2 stage machine polish?
A two stage machine polish is given to eliminate light swirls/scratches, oxidation and dull and hazy paintwork that is damaged over the years by poor wash technique, bad contact and strong chemicals. This service is our most popular package; ideal for the enthusiast who likes to keep a defect free car all year round.
