Exterior car detailing questions
Clay & Wax is a hand wash, clay bar treatment, and machine-applied wax for shine and short-term protection. Clay & Seal adds a deeper clay bar decontamination and swaps the wax for a longer-lasting machine-applied sealant with a high-gloss finish. Paint Enhancement is the most thorough tier, adding light paint correction and polish on top of the full wash, clay, and sealant process for a showroom finish.
