Protection That Beads for Weeks or Months.

We decontaminate the paint first, then lay down carnauba wax or synthetic sealant by hand. The result is deeper gloss, easier future washes, and real defense against UV, sap and road salt.

What Is Included

Prep First, Wax Second. That Order Matters.

Wax over dirty paint just seals the dirt in. Every wax job starts with a full wash and clay-bar decontamination, so the protection bonds to clean clear coat and lasts the way it should.

  • Full hand wash and dry before anything else
  • Clay-bar treatment to lift bonded grime
  • Carnauba wax or synthetic sealant, your pick
  • Hand application, panel by panel
  • Proper cure time before the final buff
  • Glass sealant on windshield and side glass
  • Trim and jambs dressed to match
  • Aftercare tips so the coat lasts longer
Pick Your Protection

Carnauba or Sealant.

Both are applied by hand after the same prep. Carnauba gives warm gloss for six to ten weeks. Synthetic sealant trades a little warmth for stamina, usually three to six months of beading. Not sure? Tell us how you use the car and we will recommend one honestly.

1
Wash and Decontaminate

Foam, hand wash, iron fallout treatment and clay bar leave the paint surgically clean and ready to bond.

2
Apply by Hand

Thin, even coats go on one panel at a time with foam applicators. No thick globs, no missed edges.

3
Cure and Buff

We let the coat haze on schedule, then buff off with clean microfiber for a slick, high-gloss finish.

Good to know: wax protects paint; it does not fix swirls or scratches hiding underneath. If the paint looks dull even when clean, start with machine polishing, then seal the corrected finish with wax.
Waxing Questions

How Long Wax Lasts.

Durability depends on product, weather and where the car sleeps. These are realistic ranges for Lower Mainland driving, not lab claims.

Carnauba wax usually beads for six to ten weeks; synthetic sealant typically lasts three to six months. Garage-kept cars hold protection longer than cars parked under trees or in open lots.
Usually there is no need: a healthy coating already outlasts wax. If your coating is aging, we can maintain it with a compatible topper instead of layering wax on top. Ask us during the free assessment.
No. Wax fills very fine marks temporarily at best. True correction needs machine polishing first, and we will tell you which defects will correct and which will not before you spend anything.
Stick to pH-balanced soap and the two-bucket method, or just book our maintenance wash. Avoid harsh detergents and automatic brush tunnels, which strip wax fast.
