Sealer wax is applied at a car wash after the vehicle has been cleaned and polished. It enhances the look of the car's paint, lending a rich glow that can shimmer as light conditions change. Sealer wax can protect car paint from sunlight, moisture, and oxidation. It also repels a wide range of contaminants.

What is clear coat?

A clear coat is paint that contains no pigments. It’s applied over a car's standard paint job. While a clear coat doesn't provide color, it works to deepen the hue and increase the shine of the car's color coat. A clear coat can protect car paint from fading caused by the sun, and can serve as a shield against contaminants like acid rain.

How much does a car wash usually cost?

Car washes cost anywhere from $6 to $20 or more. The cost depends on the extent of services provided. A basic wash will be the least expensive, and extra services, like getting the wheels cleaned, will increase the price. If you have a larger vehicle, like a truck or a minivan, you might pay a slightly higher price for your car wash.

How often should a car be washed?

Generally speaking, it's best to wash a car every two weeks or so. However, there are some situations that call for more frequent or less frequent washing. Bird droppings and tree sap can corrode your vehicle's paint. If your car is often parked outside, you’ll need to wash it more frequently. If your car is usually parked in a garage and/or rarely driven, you can go for longer stretches between washes.

What is a waterless wash?

A waterless wash is one in which sprays are used to polish and clean the car's body. These sprays contain chemicals designed to easily remove dirt and grime, and they allow the car to be cleaned using little or no water. Waterless car washes are most effective when used on cars with a light coat of dirt, but they're not recommended for cars that are extremely grimy or muddy.

I have a black car and the last 2 days when I go out in the morning there was something sprayed all over my car these guys went above and beyond the call of duty to get these calcium type spots off of my car. I have the monthly car wash special but these guys did a great job. I usually visit the 280 location where they do a good job but these guys did a GREAT job on my car. Thanks guys

The absolute worst car wash. I paid for the 39.99 car wash for the sole reason that I wanted it cleaned well and I obviously didn't want to do it myself - why else would I spend $40? OK, so... apparently their automatic car wash is too high pressured and managed to get water and BLUE soap under my sunroof and into the headliner of my vehicle. The upholstered slider that covers my sunroof from the inside was drenched and had blue soap stains all over it. Although, I did not notice it until leaving because they conveniently had the slider slid back so that you could see through the sunroof which I didn't think much of because it was a sunny day. I would not have been so mad about the water getting in (even though this has never happened at any wash ever in the two years I have had this car) if they did not try to hide it. Also - I am bad about putting things in my door so I made sure to clean everything out so they could vacuum in the doors and clean. Did they? Nope. Still crumbs and such in the inside of both doors. AND my husband thought it was funny one day to draw in the condensation on the inside of the window... did they clean the inside of the window? Nope. His drawings are still there. Did they vacuum in between the seats? Nope. What did they do.. Not much of anything I paid for. I think they just ran it through the auto wash, wiped the water spots off, and cleaned the rims. SO, after paying my $40 I had to go buy upholstery cleaner and scrub my headliner to get their blue soap out of it (another $12) and then I had to go vacuum out the rest of the area they missed (another $2). So the sole purpose of going here to pay someone to wash the vehicle because I did not want to... COST ME $54.00 and I STILL HAD TO DO THE WORK if not more than I would have originally.
