Gentle, Thorough Cleaning & Long-Lasting Shine
Your car’s exterior is constantly exposed to dirt, dust, road grime, and harsh weather conditions that can dull its shine and wear down its paint. At Gleam Auto Spa in San Diego, our hand wash & wax service provides a deep, yet gentle clean that removes contaminants while adding a protective layer to maintain your car’s sleek, polished look.
What is a Hand Wash & Wax?
A hand car wash & wax is a professional exterior detailing service that goes beyond a standard car wash. Unlike automated washes that can leave scratches or miss certain areas, our gentle wash ensures every inch of your vehicle is cleaned with precision and care. We follow up with a high-quality wax application that enhances shine, repels dirt, and provides a protective barrier against UV rays, rain, and pollutants.
Benefits of a Hand Wash & Wax
- Scratch-Free Cleaning – Soft-touch washing prevents swirl marks and scratches caused by harsh brushes and automated car washes.
- Enhanced Shine – Waxing restores your vehicle’s gloss, making it look like new.
- Long-Lasting Protection – A premium wax coating shields your paint from UV rays, oxidation, and environmental contaminants.
- Water & Dirt Repellent – Wax creates a hydrophobic layer that helps water, dirt, and debris slide off easily.
- Extends Paint Life – Regular waxing reduces paint wear and keeps your vehicle looking great for years.
