At Essential Care Auto Spa, every exterior detail begins with a thorough pre-rinse and a thick foam pre-soak to soften grime and encapsulate dirt. We hand wash using the two-bucket method, pH-neutral shampoo, separate mitts for upper and lower panels, and soft detail brushes for badges, grilles, and tight seams. Bug and tar removal is handled with safe, paint-friendly techniques for a spotless, swirl-minimized finish.
Wheels, tires, and wheel wells are cleaned with dedicated tools and chemistry, including iron decontamination when needed, to purge embedded brake dust from faces, barrels, and calipers. Door jambs and fuel door areas are carefully cleaned, then the vehicle is dried with filtered air and plush microfiber towels. A focused paint inspection under proper lighting guides the next steps and protects sensitive trim with masking where appropriate.
