Washed indoors. With pH‑balanced water.
We’re one of the few shops in San Francisco with a proper indoor wash bay. Every car we protect, coat or detail is washed there, out of the sun and wind, with pH-balanced, filtered water.
Indoor
Filtered water
pH-balanced
01 / For paint
No new spots or swirls.
Filtered water doesn’t leave the mineral spots that etch clear coat, and washing out of the sun means nothing dries on the surface before it’s wiped off.
02 / For PPF
Film that stays clear and sealed.
Neutral water and a gentle hand wash keep the film’s top layer clear, and high-pressure water is kept away from the edges so they stay down.
03 / For ceramic coating
A coating that keeps working.
pH-balanced water doesn’t wear the coating down the way alkaline water and harsh chemicals do, so it keeps beading and shedding dirt for its full lifespan.
