Frequently Asked Questions

Do you need my water connection?

We bring our own water supply for most appointments. If your location has a working outdoor spigot, that can help for larger jobs, but it's not required.

How long does an exterior hand wash take?

Typically 30–60 minutes depending on vehicle size and condition.

Will this remove swirl marks or scratches?

No. A hand wash prevents new swirls but won't remove existing ones. See our Paint Correction or Full Detail services for paint restoration.

Can you wash oversized or specialty vehicles?

Oversized vehicles, heavily modified trucks, or specialty vehicles require a custom estimate. Select 'Oversized' and we'll reach out.

Safety & Limitations
