FAQs

Is a hand car wash better for ceramic coating or PPF?

Yes. Our touch-safe hand wash and neutral pH foam protect coatings and film, reducing swirl marks and preserving hydrophobic performance.

How often should I wash my car in Chicago?

Weekly in winter and bi-weekly in summer helps prevent salt, brake dust, and road film from dulling your finish.

Do you clean matte and satin wraps?

Absolutely. We use wrap-safe soaps and avoid gloss enhancers on matte or satin to maintain the correct sheen.
