Automatic washes drag grit across your paint, and that is where swirl marks come from. We foam the vehicle first so dirt softens and rinses away, then hand wash with clean microfiber mitts and dry with soft towels. Wheels and tires get their own brushes and cleaners so brake dust never touches the paint.
Run your hand across paint that has only been washed and it often feels rough. That is bonded contamination: brake dust, tree sap, rail dust and road film. An iron remover and clay bar lift it out, leaving the surface smooth and ready to take wax, sealant or a ceramic coating.
Rain, road spray and winter grime are hard on paint. Finishing with wax or sealant adds gloss and makes the next wash easier. For longer-term protection, ask about ceramic coating.

They did a great job cleaning and washing my car and applied wax — it looks amazing. You can tell the guys really care and do quality work.
Had an amazing experience with Everett Lux Detailing in Everett! The ceramic coating came out looking incredible. They showed up on time, were professional throughout the process, and the pricing was very fair for the quality of work.
They arrived on time, were professional, and made the whole process super convenient since they came right to my driveway. The interior looked close to brand new again and the exterior had a nice, glossy finish when they were done.

A wash and decontamination remove dirt and bonded contamination, not scratches. Swirls and light scratches need paint correction, which polishes the clear coat itself.
For a daily driver in the Northwest, a full exterior detail a few times a year keeps paint in good shape, with regular safe washes in between.
