About This Service
What's Involved.
Our Express service is a hand wash and wax designed for busy weeks. We hand-wash the paintwork with premium two-bucket technique, towel dry, dress the tyres and clean the wheels — leaving the exterior clean and protected without touching your schedule.
Best Suited For
- Weekly maintenance between fuller details
- Cars driven daily that need to look sharp
- Owners who want a quick lunch-break clean
How It Works
A Careful Exterior Wash, Done by Hand.
Express is for vehicles that need the outside done properly and quickly. Washing by hand means every panel, wheel and arch gets attention, and drying with towels avoids the water spots left when a car dries on its own.
It suits owners who keep the cabin tidy themselves, cars that are washed regularly and only need the paint, glass and wheels brought back up, and ceramic-coated vehicles between their protection visits.

FAQs
Questions About Express.
- How long does the Express take?
- Between 30 and 60 minutes depending on vehicle size and condition.
- Is the interior included?
- No — Express is exterior only. Pair it with Interior or step up to Bronze for inside and out.
- Does Express include any interior cleaning?
- No. Express is exterior only. Choose Interior for the inside only, or Bronze and above for inside and out.
- Why does the price change with vehicle size?
- Larger vehicles take longer to wash and dry. Small covers hatches, coupes and sedans, Medium covers utes, SUVs and wagons, and Large covers 7-seaters, vans and long-wheelbase vehicles.
- Is a hand wash better than an automatic car wash?
- A hand wash lets our team clean each panel with care and reach areas such as wheel arches that automated brushes miss, without the brushes dragging grit across the paint.
