What is a Safe Exterior Wash?
Carefully judged.
Precisely done.
The process includes detailed cleaning of the wheels, tyres and arches, an alkaline prewash, pH-neutral snow foam and a safe two-bucket contact wash. The vehicle is then towel dried, with forced air used to remove trapped water from badges, mirrors and panel gaps. Exterior glass is cleaned and the tyres are dressed to complete the finish.
We begin with a short consultation so the treatment reflects what the vehicle actually needs. You receive a clear scope, realistic expectations and a confirmed quotation before work begins. At handover, we explain any relevant aftercare so the result is easier to maintain.
Best suited to: Regularly maintained vehicles and vehicles with existing wax, sealant or ceramic protection.

Safe Exterior Wash FAQs
Before we
begin.
01Is this safe for ceramic-coated vehicles?
Yes. The process is suitable for regularly maintained vehicles with existing protection.
02Why use a prewash?
Prewash loosens heavier contamination before the contact wash, reducing unnecessary friction.
03How is the vehicle dried?
The vehicle is towel dried and forced air is used around badges, mirrors and panel gaps.
04Is decontamination included?
No. Choose Exterior Deep Clean when iron, tar and deeper bonded contamination need to be removed.
